Some of us — maybe most of us — see this as a bonus, not a drawback. I abhor using DAWs where one track does it all. That ain't the way I think. Also, I put all my instruments in V-Racks. But this borders on a debate that's been going on since V-Racks were invented, in which one side argues "but V-Racks don't take automation!" and the other side points out all the ways you can automate VIs in V-Racks, and/or the audio return you get back from them through an Aux, and both sides end up agreeing to let the other side like it the way they want it without saying "you're wrong! I'm Right!"musicman691 wrote:FWIW this is not the only confusing nomenclature in DP. DP has Instrument tracks but they only host a vi and not MIDI as well unlike other daws where Instrument tracks host the vi and the MIDI to drive it.frankf wrote:This is a confusing nomenclature issue in DP. We have a Track Selector that doesn't Select tracks but Shows/Hides them in edit windows except in the Tracks Window. The custom Groups window is the only place where Show/Hide is used, the clearer name IMO.
