Hey Julien, I think both ideas have potential, but how 'bout having a command like "lmx", for "live mixing" (just a suggestion), that takes you to a "screen" where you then use hotkeys for vol/pan. Kinda like doing a "show" where you get all tracks, just with the difference that in "live mix mode" you can interactively set vol/pan. With "lmxo" or "lxo" you would get back to regular contrl, or you could switch to a "FX"-"screen". And talking FX, when you use "sh" to get the parameter list with settings, which you also get when you change a value, it would be killer if this list, which as we know is numbered, could also be used interactively. That way you can use fave FX, where you know the "sweet spot"-settings by heart, with the classic approach, "afx #### (+ parameters), and use the more fiddly FX, like EQ or Comp, in the "live"-scenario. I'm excited! :) Joy Julien Claassen <julien@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello Joy! > Good idea about pan and vol.
