Question

Tracks that are hidden in the track list should be not be shown on the Faderport 8 by default. Yes I know there is a work around as shown in this video:

https://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000755806--FaderPort-8-Walk-Through-and-Review-Part-9-Hiding-Tracks-and-Faders

But once I do this I loose access to the main Audio/VI/VCA show/hide keys. On a Faderport 8 I find myself using these keys to flip between audio tracks and VCAs a lot. This means I have to turn off the hide option, select whatever I'm doing, then go back and rehide the hidden tracks.

There should be an option to always do this - I can't think of a time when I'd ever want hidden tracks showing in the mixer - and it should be default, because well I have them hidden for a reason, I don't need to see them, but I'm not ready to delete them permanently

Answer 2

This has been driving me nuts.  I don't need a workaround.   I have no idea why Presonus thinks I want to see hidden tracks in my faderport.   Do they even use the stuff they design?

Answer 3

Although this request is essentially the same as another, I'm up-voting and responding to this one as well; maybe it will increase the chance that Presonus will listen?

It make little sense to have the ability to hide channels if they are not ignored on the FaderPort. I don't see why this wouldn't have been obvious during the design stage!
