Question

New to Studio One 3 question. Does Studio One 3 have an option to make the cursor stationary while the tracks move "underneath" the cursor. This is a function in several Steinberg products (which I am switching from) and I use it all the time and prefer it to the cursor moving across the tracks.

Thank you for the feature request.

Just viewing and agreeing but not clicking on the vote does not help the issue.

Answer 2

Yeah. I'd like that as well. Scrolling track would be much better option rather than jumping play marker form page to page. It is hard to follow edits while track is playing. Track scrolling and stationary play marker would be great. I am used to it in most other software I use. Small thing but helps a lot with a workflow.

Answer 3

When are you going to implement a "Stationary Cursor" function like Cubase? When I'm trying to edit at the end of the page but my event extends onto the next page, it's quite frustrating to try and locate where I want to edit with this type of scrolling, going back and forth between the two pages. With "Stationary Cursor" the cursor "always" stays in the middle of the page and the events scroll "behind" the cursor giving you lots of screen real estate to edit the events. If you would try this function (Cubase has it) you would never go back to the old way of "refreshing" the next page when the cursor reaches the end of a page. It could be a user option to use it or not.

Answer 4

Wow. Almost 4 1/2 years, and 2 whole iterations of the DAW without the inclusion of a simple interface function. A function that EVERY OTHER DAW I have ever used has as the default method of track movement. But hey, I guess stubbornly daring to be different is also a way to go.

Answer 5

As noelwarner pointed out, this has been requested for a long time, but the first search result is from 2013. Two Thousand and Thirteen.  I'd thought I'd skipped all the early adopter stuff by waiting the better part of a decade.  I'd be back in Cubase right now if not for that stupid dongle.

Answer 6

Any news on stationary cursor option? Thanks 

Answer 7

Please, give us an option for a stationary cursor. It's overdue.

Answer 8

It is extremely useful while recording guitars as a lot of users are not very comfortable with the chord track jumping to the next chord
