Vertical Faders

Source-Connect: Feature Requests

On my system, the SC window takes a lot of screen space.

Would it be possible to offer a vertical version of the minimised fader window, maybe even floating? I have made a mockup a while back, it’s got the v3 look, but I hope you get the idea.

This would allow the faders to live beside the DAW window on a laptop, without the need to dig for the SC window underneath. The meters would allow constant monitoring of the feed as well. Thanks.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your feedback and for sharing the mockup — it looks great! We've noted your suggestion and will review and prioritize it with our Product team.

    In the meantime, have you had a chance to try the "Collapse" option in the app? While it doesn’t offer a vertical layout, it does reduce the app window to its minimal size, which might help depending on your use case.

    Thanks again for your input — we really appreciate your help in improving the app!

      Hello I gather the over all goal is just to make the GUI and specifically the over al meter view smaller so it can be tucked away someplace and the meters can still be seen? In your template (Pro Tools) are input and output send and channel that can have the red check box un highlighted so they stay on the screen and can be stacked and can therefore show the input and output for metering? see my screen shot.

      Access to all those controls may not be needed? I also gather that if side by side either vertically or horizontally you want it as skinny as possible? Just to be clear this is not something that can be changed quickly but getting a better understating as to the over all goal and not a very specific screen redrawing will help us greatly for future updates that will be made to eventually make the GUI smaller. - Robert
