Default Set All Selected Tracks To Same height?

What's the shortcut to manually resize all selected tracks to the same height at once?

Seems that the only way to get them to similar/same heights is to click to collapse/expand the sub or the scrollbar for the whole project.

The preset heights are a little too small sometimes. The solution (unfortunately not) is to drag each one to a better height, one at a time. This is a pain when there are multiple tracks in a sub that need to be a little larger for better visual editing, thus the need to be able to do this to all selected tracks with a single drag.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. Only the track being dragged is changing. (using the plus and minus on the right does all the tracks)

I'm working in track view, and resizing the heights on the left.

Thanks for responding.

WAIT!!! It IS working, but doesn't actually resize all of them until the mouse button is released. Somehow I wasn't quite doing it right, so it wasn't working as expected. I think I have it now.

THANKS!!!!

Sorry, for the "it's not working" post. Obviously, I'm an idiot today.

Glad you found something that works. Another method is to use Ctrl-mousewheel, which will work regardless of whether any or all tracks are selected.

You can also make two of your own preset heights. Look into SWS extension Command parameters. There you will find Track height A and B, defined in pixels. Set them how you like, then you can use them with the actions Xenakios/SWS: Set selected tracks heights to A/B.

You can do it also using PageUp/PageDown buttons (by default).

Thanks, folks! I'm all set, with multiple ways to do what I knew was probably something easy, as it is.
