I know this probably would be shot down by everyone, but what if we could create racks in windows we can fullscreen? I think it would make things a lot easier especially when say working with drums and whatnot.

When junction filters (racks) were first being discussed, people wanted a separate Tab just for the rack environment. But jules decided it would be better to have everything on the same screen. Which is really the whole point of Tracktion ;) . I do think something needs to be done about the space management in racks tho. As our racks get more and more complex. Maybe even smaller filters. :)

I could use some more space sometimes, too. I dunno from bidule, but if it were zoomable and pannable, that would be cool. Fact is, although the "all in one screen" idea is good for most things, the current implementation destroys most of your workspace anyhow.

Bidule's way is perfect. I second that

I prefer the one window approach. I recently took a look at Nuendo on a friend's system and it brought back all the horrible memories of a UI that was over-complicated (to me).

Zoom and pan (like Bidule, as many have suggested) would be a good solution.

More of a nice to have feature for me, not a must have, as it will make that area a little tidier for complex racks. Mine tend not to be overly complex, even with a few outs from a drum VSTi. What kind of stuff are you creating, Ron?

Smaller filters may cause problems on VSTs with many outputs. Imagine the fun of selecting a particular output from one of the 16 you have coming out of Kontakt or something like that :-)

As nice an idea as this is, I think there will be more people (doesn't affect me) that would rather have the racks/PDC issue resolved before any other aspect of racks are revised.

Mine are NEVER complex. ;) Every now and then, though, a bit of 'breathing room' would be spiffy.
