The idea is: keep the dedicated spot for mixbuses: but allow it to be resized to always show 4, 8, or 12 mixbuses ( the size is optional ). Then provide a scrollbar under the mixbus section to access the remaining mixbuses. The checkboxes to hide/show the mixbuses will go away, in this case, to remove that additional layer of complexity. The master, monitor and vca's will remain unchanged.
Would that help?

I like the idea of having a fixed number of mixbusses, but hate too loose the checkboxes for deciding wich Mixbus will show.
At the moment I work on a 60 Track peace, 8 min long. Mixing this on one 27 screen means a lot of showing and hiding tracks in the process. What would help me most would be more keyboard shortcuts (or at least Lua-Hooks to script those):
- scroll the Mixer window not only one track a time but ten or all shown tracks
- same for Mixbusses and VCA
- show all Mixbusses (expanding the Mixbus area), same shortcut to toogle back
- dedicated shortcut for showing/hiding each Mixbus
- same for VCA
- dedicated shortcuts for spilling
- Show only spilled tracks in the edit window
I can imagine that at least some of those would be easy to implement and most of them should not fall into the make-other-users-unhappy-trapp.
I also feel that the VCA lanes waste a lot of screen estate. Could we have a second row on top of the existing one? Or even better: A stacked view that only shows Name, Spill, Solo and Mute. I guess I could see 10 VCA at once in one lane even on a smaller screen. And 95% of time I reach for something in the VCA pane it is those three Buttons.
