1) That's definitely useful info, I was not actively aware of the Editor List. If it shows up on the first Ardour startup I probably closed it out just to have more room available in the default setup.
2) Also wasn't aware of the "primary modifier key". What I noticed from giving it a quick try on my project is that when holding down Ctrl cannot solo a single track in the Show Editor Lists -> Tracks & Busses window (clicks are prevented). Nor does it allow me to adjust individual volume sliders per track within a group. But seems to work for all the other track controls.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoRe 2: the editor list "Tracks&Busses" tab uses a GTK TreeView for displaying status and offering controls. GTK's treeviews don't make it very easy (understatement!) to make cells in the treeview detect keyboard modifiers. When you click on the green/gray box in the solo column, mostly what we know is that you clicked, we don't tend to get modifier info. I was referring to tbe buttons in track headers/mixer strip, but you're right it should be consistent/universal. I'll see what I can do. Regarding faders not being group-overridden by the Primary modifier ... yes, that's true. Ctrl-drag on the fader provides finer-grain control. However, there's a reason for this difference. In general, we recommend that people use VCA's for group gain control and disable shared gain control in a group. It gives you a much more flexible working style, and is a feature typically found only on extremely expensive mixing consoles. Ardour offers both SSL and Harrison style VCAs (i.e. heirarchical/stacked or parallel), depending solely on how you set things up.
