Mixer elements in Tracks of main window

Hi.

What about to have some mixer elements -like volume slider- available in tracks of main window?

See attached image manipulation...

quite nice idea! :)
only that time is always short on my side :(
may I ask what is wrong with the Mixer controls?

cheers

Nothing wrong with the Mixer controls. I was used to use tracks in very small size/height.
Recently I switched to have tracks at bigger size/height, so I discovered the option of access to plugins etc.
Just thought it would be a nice feature to have a volume slider added to the tracks - since the peak level meter is there.

Just out of curiosity:

- would it be much work to add a volume slider
- isn't there a modular approach of Qtractor development
- perhaps to have a module (source/compiled) for a volume slider being able to easily include into other GUI parts

???

not that much of an overwhelming one but frankly I just don't feel the urge for it right now... :)

- isn't there a modular approach of Qtractor development

not really sure about what you mean, but the answer is most probably negative...

- perhaps to have a module (source/compiled) for a volume slider being able to easily include into other GUI parts

the most direct route would be to hack a new member to qtractorTrackList::Item, most probably a new qtractor
ObserverSlider widget and attach it to the proper qtractorSubject for the track's gain or volume (audio or MIDI resp.)...

it's all there ready, you'll only have to implement it and propose a PR when happy :)
cheers
