Mixer layers

I thought that was what bussing was for.... DB

Bussing is not what I'm talking about. This is a way to DISPLAY the faders.

+1 I understand this as a request to have different views of the mixer possible in different tabs of the docker or on different key commands. Please correct me if I am wrong. It's already been requested. Alas, I don't find a FR thread with the forum search, so it's a good thing it comes up again. Very helpful.

+1 This is the equivalent of screensets for MCP faders.

Different NAMABLE tabs. I know Reaper was not developed to be a real time live mix engine...but hey, if it can do it and do it well why not give it a couple of things to make it work. The VCAs came about because they were a good idea. I could see this being a good mixdown tool for recordings.

+1 This would be a simple and yet really usable feature.

If I understand what you're suggesting this would also be a great way to get separate headphone mixers that were instantly available via the Namable Tab -- just have the Tabs show a range of channels (e.g. 1-16, 17-32, 33-48, etc. for a set of 3 mixes). That combined with the superb routing looks like it would work if you have the horsepower. I just tried a quick experiment and with over 300 tracks on my ancient AMD 4400 I had around 50% CPU usage at idle. The guys / gals on the floor would LOVE this for tracking !! Definitely a +1 from here. -- Geoff

You can already do this with snapshots in the SWS extension. Just flag vis in the filter and you can save what is shown and hidden in the mixer snapshots.

OK, you lost me there. 'Splain if you you don't mind.
