Careful with this setup though. It's easy to assume the track you're working on on the right is the same as the channel showing on the left. But unless the track is actually selected in the TCP, they won't be the same. Editing a track in the TCP does not automatically select it. So don't go tweaking on the mixer channel on the left without checking it's actually the right one.

Great warning. This can help a bit in some situations though : imgur.com/n3s8ZcM And maybe there is a way to auto-select the track your cursor is currently working on (even when you're working on the items parts of this track) ? I don't know.

Fantastic! Just a few days ago I discovered your Side Chain Mixer for an older version of Reaper. I made it work in 6.13, and presto, 2 days later I'm watching an even better version that takes advantage of Reaper's latest features. Bravo Kenny!

It's a shame that in Reaper you can have only 1 mixer opened. I have 2 monitors and I have my mixer opened on my 2nd screen. But I would love to have side mixer and big floating mixer opened at the same time (Cubase behavior). The video starts with 2 mixers opened so now after I watched the video I'm still dissapointed that this feature is not implemented to Reaper to this day. I have installed the HeDa script and the track inspector but it just doesn't look great. I don't want it to be necessarily thicker but if you try to narrow it down the text and buttons overlaps and it's unusable to work with. But still, I love Reaper more than anything.

It should be noted that (at least on my Linux computer), this trick only works if the mixer doesn't show the master. If it does, the side mixer will always show the master only, no matter which track is selected.

I've been using this method exclusively since I discovered one of your older videos covering this same topic. Really helps when mixing. One question Kenny. If you are selecting different tracks to set the levels and you click on the volume knob of a different track, the currently selected track doesn't change. Is their a setting for this in preferences? It would be great if you could click any wheres on the track to select it. It's small thing but the volume knob is part of the TCP. Thanks Eric

I have an issue when i have closed folders in the mixer, when i go to my "side mixer screenset" i only see the folders , because they are closed. The problem is that i couldn't make a successful custom action because there is no action for "Mixer: show children of selected folders" . There is the action called "Mixer: Toggle Show/hide children of selected folders" but the problem with that action is that, if the folders are not closed in the mixer, they get closed because the action is Toggle. Please i need a solution ! Thanks!

I'd like to take advantage of the fact that only one track is visible at the time and have a wider MCP layout so that I can see the full plugin name in the inserts. But if I set the zoom at 150% everything is bigger, including the fonts. Is there any way to do a wide layout like in version 5?
