I'm wondering of it's at all possible to have the scribble strip text limit increased. I know it's a small detail, but the Pro Tools scribble strip is pretty limited, and with the Raven scribble strip being even more restrictive the names of tracks get very cryptic. I often find myself hiding the Raven so I can view the scribble strip on the Pro Tools console.

This is a HUI limitation, if you look at any console that uses HUI it will only show 4 Characters in the track names. Hit the "Show Comments" button to show the entire track name, this is pretty much why we made that button. |

I've used the Show Comments button before, but it didn't seem to work how I thought it would. Now that I know what it's real purpose is, I'll use the comments for my track names. I had a feeling that it was due to some limitation outside of Slate's control, given that purpose behind the Raven was to give more, better, and more accurate usage. |

Should be no need to put name in the comments as the name strip will appear when show comments is pushed.  |

I now know my confusion was because I was using the 'Show Comments' button literally... i.e., when I wanted to view the comments, and overlooking the scribble strip. As a very 'old school' guy I often use the comments as my scribble strip too...when we used 1" paper leader tape and pen I could write all kinds of things...then again there were only 8-16 tracks to worry about. ;-) |
