'highlight sends of selected track'
Easy to trace sends in busy projects
'highlight sends of selected track' On/Off
lets make a real time test, watch these 2 pictures 1 by 1 and trace the sends:
No highlight:
http://img6.**************/img6/9952/nohighlights.png
Highlight: (note-I trust cockos's graphic designer to make it fit better)
http://img43.**************/img43/9055/highlights.png
Order of operations to increase/edit sends while 'highlight sends of selected track' is set to [OFF]: - 1. Read track sends 1 by 1
2. trace them 1 by 1, while your eyes pass through few irelevant tracks.
3. after you trace a send, you check what is in this send, to see if you want to increase/decrease vol for this send.
4. repeat step 3 untill you find the right send...(
5. increase/edit this send...
side note- if you want to see how all the 5 sends work simultaneously, you will need to reorder them...else it is impossible for the eyes.
Order of operations to increase/edit sends while 'highlight sends of selected track' is set to [ON]: - 1. since you see all sends of selected track simultaneously, watch which one of the highlighted sends has the effect that you want to increase/edit.
2. increase/edit this send...
PS-It should be optionally: 'highlight sends of selected track' set to On/Off |

I really don't think this would be clear enough when you've got huge projects. You've got one track sending to a bunch of other tracks. But what about when you've got multiple tracks sending and recieving from each other - everything will then be highlighted, and it will not be clear.

only first-relation should be highlighted, if you need to see further connections, you will click on the send!
anyway, how would you do it without highlighted sends? by reading everything 1 by 1?! you can read with highlight too, just that with highlighted sends you will get a x100 faster insight of where are the things that you should actually read, without highlights you have to read numbers/names that has nothing to do with you selected track untill you trace what you want to trace... |

Infact I think that it will be best if there will be 2 options to tick (first relation only for both):
Right click in the mixer:
1.highlight 'sends to'
2.highlight 'receives from'
if non ticked = no highlights.
(receives/sends may have separate colors, colors including transparency/alpha-level will be editable from: Preferences->Appearance->Theme )

Nice idea. I'm for highlighting both sent-to and receiving-from track.
Select a track, and you know fairly quickly where its signals are going and coming from just at a glance, as long as the other tracks are visible somehow.

?
how could this not be a good thing.
i use heaps of tracks with sends n returns everywhere and tracking them down can sometimes take ages. If i could click on one and see where they all hook up it would make it heaps easy to remember and see what im doing. |

No colors, just highlight (the color of selected tracks).

I would use outline instead of colors for this.

what about 'select sends of current track' ? then you could hide unselected etc etc - would that work?

logic has an awesome solution for this:
control>click on the send, and it shows the channels recieve channel ...
