Default How to move a non-master track to the right side of Mixer view?

I cant see this in the manual. so I am either blind or stupid (probbaly the latter)

I know I can move the Master track to the far right in Mixer View.. but am not sure how to do it with normal tracks

I want to have my FX busses over on the right next to the master, and my tracks/groups on the left

Thanks in advance

I'm not at my daw, but I think it should be possible with multiple dockers, there's a nice tutorial here:

you can uncheck "Auto arrange tracks in mixer" and have things positioned however you want.

You could just drag them to where you want them.

Did that. the tracks in mixer view are still frozen in place and cant be dragged.

It wont let me drag any tracks. I can only move the Master track to the right side.

All normal tracks are stuck on the left.

What you can't do however, is drag a folder master to the right side of the mixer and leave all of the Children in place - it drags them along.

Since folders work like subgroups, I would like to have my masters on the right, my subgroups to the left of those and then all of my channels to the left of those.

This is important when using a control surface, especially one with only 8 faders. You can get your subgroups generally mixed the way you want them and then change the overall levels using the parent faders. This means that you have to delve into the channel realm less frequently, and when you have a few pages of input channels, having the sub group masters at the end of the mix makes mixing on the fly much easier.

There are ways around this by using post fader sends for grouping, but it would be nice to just move the folder masters independently in the mixer view.

Well I am guessing only the master track can be moved to the right side of the Mixer?

I can not find a way to move other tracks over there, I cant drag them over to the right all I can do is drag them an arrange them on the left side of the mixer

Tracks can be dragged around, excepting the folder-children link described above.

I am doing this here and now on my laptop. There must be something preventing you from doing this. What are your mixer settings?

I'm no expert in this. But it seems that tracks will always be left alligned. (But if your working with higher track counts you can somewhat have tracks sit next to the (right-alligned) master track, please try for your self)

You could also put the master at left and have auxes next to it as the first tracks and then following the normal tracks.
