User Manual

CONSOLIDATED WINDOW
105
This preference only limits how many Event Lists
will be opened when using the normal methods of
opening and closing Event Lists. It does not limit
the number you can create manually (using the
sidebar cell menu as shown in Figure 10-5 on
page 107).
Additional Consolidated Window preferences
The Consolidated Window has the following
additional preferences (Figure 10-2 on page 104):
Open Old Documents Using Consolidated
Window:
If you want old documents (saved in
previous versions of Digital Performer) to open
with their window layout preserved exactly as it
was last saved, uncheck this option. If you want
them to open with a Consolidated Window layout
that matches your current Consolidated preference
settings, check this option. For further details, see
“Opening old documents” on page 109.
Open Old Window Sets Using Consolidated
Window: If you want old window sets (saved in
previous versions of Digital Performer) to open
with their window layout preserved exactly as it
was last saved, uncheck this option. If you want
them to open with a Consolidated Window layout
that matches your current Consolidated preference
settings, check this option. For further details, see
“The Consolidated Window and Window Sets” on
page 109.
Close document when Consolidated Window
closes: The Consolidated Window is considered to
be the Digital Performer document window. By
default, closing the Consolidated Window also
closes the project entirely. Uncheck this option if
you want to be able to close the Consolidated
Window without closing the project.
Mixing Board default preference: This preference
lets you choose where the Mixing Board opens in
the Consolidated Window, by default. See “The
Mixing Board” on page 107.
Scroll the Mixing Board to the Selection: If this
preference is checked, and the Mixing Board is
being displayed in the Consolidated Window, it
will scroll to the channel strip for a track as soon as
you select the track — or select some data in the
track — in any editor. This option is particularly
useful when you are displaying the Mixing Board
in a sidebar, as demonstrated in Figure 10-1 on
page 102. There is a keyboard shortcut for toggling
this command in the Commands window, which
you can assign to any keyboard shortcut you wish.
Update the Waveform Editor to the Selection: If
the Waveform Editor is being displayed in the
Consolidated Window, and this item is checked,
the Waveform Editor will always display any
soundbite that you select in other editors (such as
the Track Overview or Sequence Editor). There is a
keyboard shortcut for toggling this command in
the Commands window, which you can assign to
any keyboard shortcut you wish.
Update Edit windows to Play Chunk: When this
preference option is checked, editor windows (such
as the Event List, MIDI Editor, etc.) will always
show tracks from the currently play-enabled
sequence or song. If you play-enable a different
sequence or song, edit windows will update to
reflect this change. There is a keyboard shortcut for
toggling this command in the Commands window,
which you can assign to any keyboard shortcut.
