Absent works best. To me it just wastes precious screen space. I do use it in Studio One but mostly because you kind of have to and I always dismiss it as soon as I'm done.You can put your Media Browser where you want, left, right, bottom, float, whatever you want...
I can't say any of that grabs me. I've never understood why an Inspector ever got made. I assume it was some kind of kludge to enable new functionality on Logic or Cubase from last Century that people just got used to using but, to me, it's another waste of precious screen real estate. I have literally never used it, either in Cubase or Studio One.Here I've maximized the Mixer. You can also hide your busses, and folders, and set your folders to the right, put your Master whereever you want.
A basic Track and Mixer view with Master on the right I like.
Two 'shots- On the left we have our Tracks with faders if we want to use them to do simple mixing- you don't need to make them this big. On the right I created an Inspector view, which is just heightened highlighted Track, and I minimized the Tracks here to work on Video.
Overall it doesn't seem to use space very well. e.g. The left side widgets for each channel in the arrangement eat into your available horizontal space, which you'd want to maximise for displaying the actual timeline. And if the effects are being shown as well, even just as buttons, you lose more space.
Thanks for making the screenshots, though, I appreciate the effort.
