I do want REAPER to improve in this area, but the solution has to preserve the basic types of recording and arranging.
For example, record audio and MIDI sources with the metronome on, 100 bpm, then change project tempo to 108. If the MIDI has been locked then it won't work.
What if recording in 'time' locked all MIDI to the (nominal) project tempo and recording in 'beats' didn't? (PF FR)
So if you want to record to a click you must record in 'beats'. The MIDI items are NOT set to 'ignore'.
If you want to record 'time' all recorded MIDI is automatically locked. Then you can tempo map. Switch to 'beats' and all MIDI is automatically unlocked. Now you can overdub to the mapped click, and later change project tempo or add new tempo markers.
I'm just concerned that beginners can screw this up too easily. They will record in 'time' with the metronome on, and then try to change project tempo. I have thought of a simple solution, metronome is DISABLED when project timbase is set to 'time'!
