Requests
1) Remove the ability to click a blank space on a lane which results in the deselection of an actual audio take which resides in the same spot. See
https://ibb.co/nuNxYF clicking where the arrow will deselect the take below it from playing.
2) Allow for an option which will not auto split takes during the recording process.
3a) Have a Show Lanes button and have the ability to view the lanes, separate to the track being recorded. See
https://ibb.co/kv51tF (credit to Sound on Sound).
3b) If this feature is adopted; show the current comp on the track (similar to if "Show takes as lanes" was unchecked. The lanes would instead be shown below, via a Show Lanes button.
4) Allow clips in individual lanes to be manipulated with respect to click-dragging start and end points, being able to move an individual clip from a lane to a new track.
Benefits
1) Stops mistaken clicks from unknowingly deselecting the desired take.
2) It will remove a few steps in the workflow which are required to tidy up the "mosaic"
3a) It allows for a more flexible way of showing and working with lanes. It allows for lanes to have a more comfortable space to operate in where they are not confined and squashed into the track in question. This is essentially a request to mirror the Cubase way of operation where you can hide the lanes with click of a button.
3b) With different lanes being colour coded, this would easily show the engineer which lane is being used for what part.
4) Allows for a quick recording of a different part by the same performer to be shifted to a new track very easily. Allows for individual takes to have their start and end points to be adjusted before they are clicked and selected to be a part of a comp.
Reason
1) Being able to see empty portions of lanes can often be useful when organising a session
2) I have been trying to find the logic for its inclusion as a feature, and I can't quite get it.
3a) The current method means that tracks constantly have to be resized to show and hide lanes. Lanes are currently squashed into the vertical height of a track.
3b) Organisational benefits.
Thanks
