Multiple windows for effects in one bus? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Multiple windows for effects in one bus? Posted by: Tobias7000 Date:5/26/2006 12:54:12 PM I Have not found a way to view all the effects in one chain at the same time. LIVE5 does this, but Acid seems to only want to show one at at time. In fact, I'd like the option to leave effects of one track open whil I veiw effects in another bus or track. This is an enhancement request if there is indeed no way to do this.

I personally like working with minimal windows floating around, and it's annoying for me to close windows all the time. Feels like "pop-up" ads or something.

Subject:RE: Multiple windows for effects in one bus? Reply by: alltheseworlds Date:5/27/2006 12:43:56 AM Can't you just save the effect setting and call it up in the second effect unit ? That's my normal procedure. As for multiple windows, that would be a good preference option: Allow multiple effect windows The upside is that it keeps the desktop simple. Perhaps these sort of things are contributors to the "Acid is easy" appeal. Chop too many out and we may all start wondering why the newer versions feel more complex.
Subject:RE: Multiple windows for effects in one bus? Reply by: Tobias7000 Date:5/27/2006 9:54:53 PM Effects interact. For example, I like having both a track and master bus open to adjust an EQ on a track while I monitor a compressor on the master bus. Another example might be monitoring a precision limiter on the master while changing compressor parameters for a bass track. LIVE5 lets the user select in the options menu to have multiple windows or single since we each have our own preferences.

They operate similar to AcidPro busses but not exactly the same. Key difference I see is ability to route outputs back to a track. I may be wrong, but have not found a way to do this in Acid as there are workarounds.
