I'm also aware of other DAW software like that Scott, I was just saying there are times when I like the mixer view, but would appreciate some shortcuts to certain features.

I know you weren't slamming Mac, and am pretty sure he knows that too. I do think you assume some of us use only this program and are not aware of others which isn't true. Because we prefer it over others doesn't mean we don't have others. I have many other DAW programs, and am quite sure Mac does too. They all have their strengths.

If one is familiar with mixers it can help visualize signal flow. I'm sure it is very handy for many users.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
