Trucky wroteNot sure what's causing it, but you can adjust individually by holding [Shift] while you click and drag the top edge of the send. You can get all of your channels to line up by holding [Shift] and double clicking the top edge of the send that you want the others to sync to.

Yeah I use that function all the time to align my sends although that doesn't help with the height of my mixer jumping sadly, but thank you!!

mikemanthei wroteHave you clicked your own link to see where it takes you?

Seriously?
Of course I know this is the VST scanner issue I'm linking to. I also told you link is NOT related to this issue.

I'm rapidly losing the will to live...

I'll repeat again.

I recommended people upgraded to the latest drivers (and latest base levels of Win7/8 via Win update) so at least it can be demonstrated to devs there is a base level to test.

People who decide to upgrade their driver however with Win 7 Nvidia display adapter should be aware of the VST scanner issue (ie "please note").

If somebody decides to update to the latest driver and their VST scanner screws up, I don't want somebody here accusing me of putting them into that situation. Capeesh?

Now can we please move on. I was making simple basic points.

Just FYI I'm on a mac.

(nevermind he's done it, please delete).

It does not look like anyone is going to confirm the steps listed or they are not, in fact, the steps to reproduce.

Please open a support ticket.

Well, that's essentially the problem isn't it? Nobody can confirm exact steps to consistently reproduce the problem. The original poster is on a Mac, and I'm on a PC. He has his mixer docked on a single screen, I have it undocked on a separate screen.

Neither one of us can consistently replicate the issue. Nor can we do anything to stop it from returning at seemingly random intervals.

One thing is curious though. Every time I have seen it fail, it sets the fader height to the minimum setting. I've never seen it set to any other value. And if I understand the original posters picture, it looks like his is set to the minimum value as well.

So the Developers should be looking for something that is changing this fader height value to something that is below the minimum (or some other invalid value) ... and since this value is outside the normal range, it is being overridden and set to the default minimum.

But like I said, it's not consistent. I can't find the trigger. At least not consistent enough to call it a replicateable issue

Robdp wroteHey all,
I had this happen in v3 and now continuing in v4. I've tried brand new templates, starting sessions from an empty template, but randomly I get my mixer resizing itself for no reason!!

It's been so frustrating and I'm not sure what causes it.. anyone getting this or have any ideas as to why it's happening??

Picture included so you can see what my mixer height is normally, and what happens randomly.

Thanks in advance!

YES... happens to me as well. You are not alone. I cannot figure out a cause, appears random.

Sig has my details.

Yes, exactly. Same here. Thank you for stating this.

Still getting this in 4.5.2 and been through different templates, machines and Operating systems...

Anyone still getting this and do we know if the Devs even know how to go about fixing it??

pawelhebda wroteNever seen it before. So it yours system/GPU realted.

Sorry, but a video card is not responsible for randomly moving items around on a screen.

Maybe pawelhebda didn't articulate it perfectly but there are a set of issues similar to this that can be caused by window placement on multiple monitors. That's what they meant by "GPU related." I'm not saying it's that but you might want to try testing this a bit with a single monitor and see if your monitor setup is a factor. I had an issue with something *similar* once (not the exact same thing) and when I narrowed it down with customer support had something to do with the way Studio One was saving monitor coordinates and the way it was reading them back not working properly, causing windows to be sized incorrectly for the respective monitor. Only applied to my case though, posting about it on the forums was absolutely useless because that particular bug (sounds like a different one than you're discussing) was only easily observed with my specific setup.

You'll have to narrow it down more, which sucks for issues like this but oh well that's software.

I thought this was normal behaviour. It's always done this since version 3 for me. I thought it was linked to the last channel resize and position of the send then as you added new channels and resized again is were the oddness comes in. Like it's disconnected from the previous channel send height so to speak when a new default track\channel is created. I always just drag the sends down and back up to reset at equal level.

Never really seen it as an issue but it happens for sure and has for a while. I used undocked window on second screen for reference.

Edit: When I maximize the docked mixer fader height here on Windows and then detach the mixer, the fader height goes to minimum height automatically. It may be in some way related to that.

It looks like the docked and detached mixers have independent settings. If I save the song with the detached mixer height at max, it always recalls max when detached, but otherwise it defaults to minimum height when detached. But it's all stored per song,

See the attached animated gif.

Holding [cntl] and clicking on the top edge of one channel's send will align all the sends to that one, but then you can drag all of them to where you want.

Occasionally, my mixer channels "automatically" snap to fill my entire screen, which is pretty startling on a 43" 4K display. I say "automatically" because it's some sequence that I unintentionally do, but I can't put my finger on it.

Have a look at this - just done it.
For me just pressing the Input or output tags

I can confirm this (unwanted) random behaviour in S1 v.3.5.6 x64 / Win 8.1 x64.
I only noticed it started when I added a second monitor, un-docked the mixer and placed it on the second screen.
Unfortunately, having the mixer window maximised, covers up the Windows task-bar in a sort of translucent way. It's all a bit of a mess really.
Obviously this will not be fixed in v.3x.
I have no intention of upgrading to V4 for features I will never use and even more bugs, so I guess I will just have to live with it.

Here is a pic of my channels at the correct height, then for no reason this will happen throughout the day.
It can happen when doing literally anything, there is never a particular reason and its been there since V3. Super annoying.

Been doing more tests on this today.

I can create this at anytime.
I am on win 8.1 and have two monitors. The mixer is expanded out to the 2nd monitor.
I open a previous song and just by clicking the INPUT or OUTPUT buttons (to show hide inputs and outputs duh) then the faders will collapse down. Drag them up same again. This seems to have gotten worse since 4.5 maybe or maybe it happens all the time like ground hog faders.
