EDIT: Feature was PARTIALLY added in Cubase 9.5.0 (yay!..?). You can test whether tracks are disabled in Project Logical Editor, but you can’t ‘transform’ tracks to enable/disable them through PLE. Please add that, Steinberg!
Echoing one of the recurring feature requests with Cubase 8.5 here…
Please, can we add Logical Editor parameters so custom Visibility Agents could become a reality or at least a way to create Logical Editor functions that could enable or disable tracks based on conditions.
Examples of Visibility Agents you would be able to create:
Show All Enabled Tracks
Show All Disabled Tracks
Hide All Enabled Tracks
Hide All Disabled Tracks
Examples of Project Logical Editor processing:
Disable all tracks containing the word “Brass” that contain no MIDI data
Disable all tracks that are muted
Etc… sky’s the limit
For reference, the screenshots show where these parameters would show up if they existed)
+1
Especially “Show/Hide Disabled (Inactive) Tracks” would help a lot.
I often disable VI tracks to continue working with rendered audio, both to save resources but also for better overview of what’s going on. I hide those tracks and bring em back only when needed. Automating track views with PLE gets messy when all those hidden tracks start popping up…
Just noticed we got Project Logical Editor support in 9.5.0 to test whether tracks are disabled, but we’re still lacking the ability for the Project Logical Editor to transform tracks in order to enable or disable them. Please add it, Steinberg!
AFAIK, you can at least do it as of Cubase 12.
For anyone else finding this thread and trying to enable/disable track through the Project Logical Editor, here’s what you do:
Open the “Pre & Post Commands” tab at the bottom.
In Post-Process Commands, add the option Audio → Disable/Enable Track
Done! You can just leave the Event Transform Actions field empty.
