Enlarging the mixer

Post by apanacci »

Hey guys, anyway to make the mixer larger ? When I am setting up discreet headphone mixes to 3 or 4 rooms in my studio , the sends are very small. Hard to see in the heat of battle. Thanks

I guess you could change your display resolution.

If you run two displays, as many of us do, you can control the resolution on each independently of the other.

With decent 23" displays available below $150, this doesn't cost much to do.

You can toggle between a large and small mixer using …

shift +command+N

perhaps you're on the smaller graphic size of the mixer , hence , the smaller send buttons

Looks like I will have to use the resolution. Never thought about that. The ProTools mixer has larger sends. I am used to that.
