Re: Coloring the whole channel strip in the mix console
Here are some mock ups I've made earlier (for Cubase 9, lol).
Or just move the labels higher

All 3 look awfull compared to what it is now. The full screen colors are just a plain eyesore.

I too enjoy blocking my labels and names and losing navigation to Transport Panel.Raphie wrote:All 3 look awfull compared to what it is now.

Re: Coloring the whole channel strip in the mix console
It's a matter of taste. There are DAWs in which it is implemented that way, so there are many users who want to have a possibility to find or recognize channels in easier way, using colors.Raphie wrote:The full screen colors are just a plain eyesore.
I think that colourful channels should be definitely optional (for the sake of users who are allergic on colours).

But there are colors? It's not like there are not
There IS a system. With a perfect consistency between mixer and arrangement view
You can even colour parts independently.

Obviously these thin little labels on the bottom are not enough.

They are for me. Just put it in the preferences as an option, for the ones who think it's better.

Re: Coloring the whole channel strip in the mix console
Personally i would welcome it...
But in my workflow i would like more the possibility to coloring my bus routing (in/out routing connection). Sometimes I really missed the color in the mix console routing area to help my eyes with the small letters

+1.
Really comes in handy when working on projects with high track counts. Too many times I've inadvertently messed with the wrong channel's routing or plugins (especially when using the same plugins on adjacent tracks). It's one of the main things I miss from Pro Tools.

Re: Coloring the whole channel strip in the mix console
Do people really wizz across with the scroll bar to 'that yellow track' or 'those 3 blue tracks'?. It seems a bit hit and miss IMHO.
Try KC's to Hide Tracks/Channels combined with the Find Track/Channel (Ctrl F).
IMO way quicker.
