Follow Track Visibility?

[PlumHobo]

Hi, first time posting a question. Still getting my head around my DM4800 and I was wondering.... I used to have a 'Behringer BCF2000', which had a feature where the faders would mimic exactly what was shown on screen in the DAW (Reaper). Meaning, if you have say 8 tracks in a drum group for example, (7 tracks feeding a bus) if you then hide the 7 tracks in the DAW, the BCF reacts instantly, lowering the faders on the 7 tracks while leaving the bus track alone. I found this video which explains it better!

So my question is, can the wonderful DM 4800 do this?

Thanks in advance

@PlumHobo Have you setup the remote layer to work with Reaper. Mackie / HUI controllers in your DAW for example

Hi Peter, yes, sorry, should have mentioned that! I have it set up using Mackie protocol and everything works no problem, just wondered if anyone new about 'follow track visibility'. Seems like it should be a thing as it really helps to keep a session organised. Having gotten used to it with the BCF, I miss it now!

@PlumHobo Perhaps I am not totally understanding your predicament. Forgive me if that is the case. If for example you were to hide or disable one or more tracks in your DAW do you wish for that to be reflected on your DM?

Yes. Using the DM as a controller only when mixing. Haven't fully understood the routing yet so I use it as a control surface.
I only ask because I got used to the workflow of being able to hide tracks and keep my actual faders lined up with Reaper mix window. No big deal really. On further investigation, it seems that the Behringer BCF is one of the few 'consoles' that has this function!

Don't know if you watched the video above, explains it better than I can write it

Cheers

@PlumHobo Unfortunately, I have had somewhat of a hectic day and haven't really had the time to watch the video. But, I will as soon as time permits. I will also try to replicate what you describe once I am sitting in front of my DM. In addition, one of the more knowledgeable people in this community might chime in as well.
