General

Use name highlight bars in region displays

This option toggles the display of the highlight bars with names at the bottom of each region, as was default in earlier versions of Mixbus.

Region color follows track color

When enabled, regions are drawn the same color as the track. If disabled, all regions will be the same color, not affected by the track’s selected color.

Track name ellipsize mode

This selector applies to the track name displayed at the left of each track in the Editor window. When the track name is too long to be completely displayed, you can select leftmost, center or rightmost part of the name to display.

Add visual gap below audio regions

This selector controls the vertical spacing of the tracks in the editor window. You can select a gap size or no gap between tracks.

Waveforms

Show waveforms while recording

This option toggles whether to display region waveforms during recording. It is a useful reference, but does use more system resources. It’s ok to leave on in most modern computers.

Show saveform clipping

This option toggles the indication of waveform clipping in the region display. If disabled, regions will not show red indicators when a region exceeds 0dBFS.

Waveform clip level

This option gives you a horizontal fader to adjust where the waveform clip level is calculated, from 0 to -50dBFS.

Waveform scale

This setting does not change the gain of the signal, it is strictly a visual aid that makes the waveforms appear “fatter” with two different waveform rendering scales. The two options are:

  • Linear: Displays the audio waveform in a linear fashion. This is the most common display scale in most DAWs.
  • Logarithmic: Displays the audio waveform so that quiet sounds can be more easily seen on the screen. The display is disproportionate, giving more visual resolution to low-level signals and less visual resolution at higher-level signals.

Waveform shape

This setting does not change the gain of the signal, it is strictly a visual aid. The two options are:

  • Traditional (Default): Waveforms are drawn around a “zero” axis in the middle of the region.
  • Rectified: Waveforms are drawn with “zero” on the bottom of the region, and the wave values are shown in an absolute-value (rectified) magnitude offset

Editor Meters

Show meters in track headers

This option toggles whether meters are shown in the track headers in the editor window. Disable this to hide the small meters at the right edge of track headers in the editor. Enabling this option is useful to help monitor & identify tracks as you listen, but uses more system resources.

Limit track header meters to stereo

If this option is enabled, then Mixbus will only show stereo meters in the editor’s track header, even if the plugin has many outputs.

MIDI Regions

Display first MIDI bank/program as 0

By default, Mixbus shows banks&programs starting with “1”. This option shows the more technically-correct numbering starting with “0”.

Don’t display periodic (MTC, MMC) SysEx messages in MIDI Regions

Check this box to prevent SysEx message events from being visible on a MIDI track.

Show velocity horizontally inside notes

These boxes allow you to control how note velocity information is displayed in a MIDI track.

Use colors to show note velocity

Yellow indicates a lower velocity and Red indicates a higher velocity
