Hello everyone,
I'm collaborating with another composer and I was given a DP file with multiple chunks, and his latest chunk seems to somehow be missing the conductor track! I've never seen this before so I have no clue how this is possible. Has anyone experienced this?
Most importantly how would you fix this? I cannot seem to be able to create a conductor track - its usually "just there" haha! Is it possible to create a new conductor track, or better yet import the conductor track from a different chunk?
I must admit DP is not my primary DAW (though DP9 seems to be very good and I'm actually considering switching now) so any help you can provide please spell out what is needed and how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Conductor track missing from chunk!
Hmmm... well, in DP 9 the tracks window has a search field, which can allow hiding of tracks to occur if something is typed into it; you can also hit command-option-E (on a Mac) to show a list of which tracks you wish to make visible/invisible. You could always do that with the mixing board, but the functionality to selectively view tracks has since been added to the other windows as well. I see you're on DP 7.24... is your friend on a later version than you?

Re: Conductor track missing from chunk!
Crud, I forgot to update my signature. I'm running 9.02. Sorry about that!!
I have "view all tracks" enabled and typing "conductor" in the search field produces no results. However, when I did as you suggested and hit command-option-E it allowed me to see that the conductor track was indeed not selected. I assumed that view -> show tracks -> all would have shown the conductor track as well but I guess its not how it works?
Anyway thank you very much for the help! I'll have to remember command-option-E incase this happens again!

Re: Conductor track missing from chunk!
Check out your commands widow carefully. The cited key combo (AKA key binding) will come up as "show/hide track selector" in the "more setup" group of commands, while shift-cmd-t will be simply "track selector" in the "studio menu" group. Both almost do the same thing, depending on the screen you're in. In track overview (consolidated windows) the cmd-opt-e combo opens the track selector to the left of the tracks - something I never realized until yamguitar posted that. In most other windows, cmd-opt-e acts exactly like shift-cmd-t and simply opens and closes the track selector.
