Re: re-sizing mixer view SSL
smp,
SAWStudio Lite has two mixer views, the Z Mixer and the F Mixer. May I ask which of these two views you are referring to?
The Z Mixer is adjustable both vertically and horizontally. The F Mixer is adjustable both vertically and horizontally - though the default is with the F Mixer maximized vertically.
Re: re-sizing mixer view SSL
I am referring to the F mixer (and the E mixer single channel)
I just opened the default SawStudio FKey 1280x1024. The F mixer vertical maximum is only about 2/3 of the screen where all the other views (multitrack, soundfile, fx, etc) can be vertically sized to fit the entire monitor screen. Interestingly, the E mixer (single channel) in this preset is maximized vertically
Thanks for your interest

... The [E Mixer] should actually display [Z Mixer].
Please perform the following:
1. Exit and re-launch SAWStudio Lite.
Observation: Notice that the Zoom Mixer channel title bar displays [E Mixer].
2. Close the E Mixer.
3. Select: View > Zoom Mixer.
Observation: Notice that the Zoom Mixer channel title bar now displays [Z Mixer].
4. Select: The MultiTrack title bar.
5. Select: [Shift + F1].
6. Select: File > F-Key File > Save Default > OK.
7. Close and re-launch SAWStudio Lite.
Does this resolve your issues?

Just for clarity's sake, the E Mixer is a single channel strip. The Z Mixer can be expanded to display as many channels as can fill your work space. I don't recall the details anymore, but they are not the same thing. I know that the E mixer is designed to quickly bring up for a hot channel, make adjustments and then close out of sight. In SAW, it generally was/is displayed alongside the left edge of the MT view in many F-Key presets. For a long time, I believe the Z Mixer was not available to SAW Lite users (maybe until Bob introduced Basic) and the only large channel strip view was the E Mixer.

... Thanks for the clarification .. this is correct!
However, what I have noticed then is that the [E Mixer] is residing in the initial location of the [Z Mixer] on launch. This anomaly only occurs on the Lite and Basic versions.
What is interesting to note, is that if you double-click the [F Mixer] I-01 channel, the [E Mixer] jumps from the [Z Mixer] position on the left, to the [E-Mixer] location on the I-01 channel - which is what is supposed to occur, thus leaving the [Z Mixer] location as "empty".

It's not a matter of what is "correct". Correct is whatever Bob's default positioning is for the SAW F-Key files... in that sense.
The E Mixer default view when the MT is present has traditionally been to the far left edge of the MT. The Z Mixer view was added to the non-Full version later. Its default position appears to be that of the far left edge of the MT as well. If the E Mixer is already open in its default position, then opening the Z Mixer overlays it on top of the E Mixer. So, I guess if there's a "correct" position, then it is correct that the E Mixer is in view and the Z Mixer is overlaid, when called up.
I will grant you that double-clicking an F Mixer channel pulls the E Mixer over the channel, leaving a blank area where it was initially and does not return it to its default position upon closing it. A quick refresh of the F-Key of choice returns the E Mixer.
Re: re-sizing mixer view SSL
UpTilDawn,
I gather then that it all depends on what view is to be in the far-left position - the [E Mixer] view or the [Z Mixer] view?

I assume that if a person saves an f-key with the z mixer in place of the e mixer and uses that saved f-key file, then the z mixer will always show up there. But the e mixer is there by default.
I think I recall Bob saying something before about the similarity between the two, but I don't remember when, how, why..... The e mixer is strictly a one-channel view. The z mixer can be expanded to multiples. That's the only real difference as far as I can tell.
Re: re-sizing mixer view SSL
None of this is answering the OP's question.
I recognise the problem but I can't remember what causes it to happen - something to do with the background area not being maximised.
Perhaps a screenshot from the OP is in order to make the problem clear?
