In 'Track Colors', all the swatches in a given row are the same color

Post by wwzeitler »

I'm a new refugee from Cubase (10+ years).

In Track View, I click on a track color. DP presents the color palette, but all the swatches on the first row are the same color blue, all the swatches on the second row are all the same color green, etc.

Can I fix this? Various hues would be very useful to me!

Not at DP at the moment, but this is definitely fixable. Look in Settings. Someone else will probably chime in with better info.

In the View menu change the color scheme to something that has shades i.e. New Rainbow (menu View-->Colors-->New Rainbow). You can also edit the track color schemes in the same menu.

I had no idea what people were talking about on this until I downloaded Performer Lite which changed the track colors in DP 10, too. MOTU got that fixed in an update but it was confusing for awhile.
