When the track height is at a minimum, hovering mouse cursor over FX inserts in TCP (from top to bottom) causes the graphics to freeze

i wound't want to check "after recording into a lane, clear playback for all previously playing lanes" since this would mean i could not layer by recording, no?



Here is the Gif. First time recording new lanes are created and no playability changes. Second time recording, there is a gap between sections and lanes were reused for the new recordings and so playabity changed. They should IMO behave equally by creating new lanes on both scenarios.

I am not saying you should set the preferences that way. I am saying we can change the behavior so that lanes are only reused when the preferences are set that way. When the preferences are not set that way, new recording would always add lanes.

okey okey , makes sense now! sorry /me auto slaps

This is a bit confusing: the first seems to be a toggle but it isn't called a toggle and doesn't report its state. Consider changing that?

[Vagelis]

"Do not change comp area source lane when clicking empty space" seems to have no effect when choosing an empty space that's at the same position with other comps above or bellow?
I mean, I can still choose this empty space in this case.

It is a toggle and does report its state in menus, but like all actions that depends on what's selected, it doesn't report its state to the actions window.

Fair enough, but why not call it a toggle just to make the distinction clear?

Thx!

I spent some time thinking about this and maybe what posted ealier is related:

Maybe you could: change the behavior in REAPER so that lanes playability in this scenario only changes when the configuration is set the way you showed. Because at least when we are staking things (lanes recording preference that I was using) it does not make sense otherwise. But still for the preference you showed I am not sure why anyone would want all new lanes playing. Or as I requested, Or the last or none I think. But I am not sure on this.

When there is conflicting playability (reuse of lanes with target and source different playability) then I don’t know which could be the better rule. Maybe playability in the target should not change at all would be my preference. Anyway ! maybe there is a better timing to expose this things . This last point was a vague thought 💭.

There is a right click menu option "delete all lanes including media". I suppose in fact the files are not going to be deleted, hence IMHO it should read "delete all lanes including media items"

[DerTonmeister]

There's still a lot of wasted space in the TCP lane section.
Would be cool to have the triangle in the light grey area and cut the needless black bar. This way, the lane numbers and yellow play indicators could expand the track width. At the moment, they are cutting space of the left, grey side. So the layout changes if we turn fixed item lanes on atm.

[DerTonmeister]

razor edit copy pasting between lanes doesn't work as expected?

[DerTonmeister]

It happens relativly often that after comping and group editing not all item fades of a group are perfectly aligned somehow which then breaks the group fade. Any ideas how that happens?

[Sexan]

FX Containers:

Sidechain via Drag'n'Drop IO to plugin UI does not work when plugin is inside container, but when moved out of container its working. Guess auto-mapping is not handled in that case

I think it could be quite useful to automatically switch from one to many lanes if we turn comping on (vice versa).

Besides a toggle action to turn comping on/off (to the last chosen comp lane) would be nice

Track: Toggle disable comping, or re-enable last comping lane

ideally this would also create a new comping lane if no comping lane exists yet. currently if no comping lane exists for the track, nothing happens.
Could this be implemented in the scope of the rc dev?

[benmiller]

so a :

Track: Toggle disable comping, or re-enable last comping lane, or comp into new empty lane

would be nice

currently we have "comp into new empty lane for track under mouse but" not for selected track. You can only achive this with right click on lane button.
The suggested action would fill in that gap too

[DerTonmeister]

one more thing. No idea if it's a group or a lane bug?

[benmiller]

when in "show only one lane" mode:
the red point for record into lane is not visible, even if i have record into lane for the visible lane. so when collapsed it's not clear in which lane i'm about to record. (if i'm using record into lane)
can the red point be visibble when collapsed and visible lane is designated as the recording destination?

i also find strange that when showing just one lane it is possible to record in an other lane, but why not. But would it be possible to have an option "record in to (only or first) playing lane". ?
so that when collapsed you automatically record in to the visible lane.

[mschnell]

When recording into a used lane does this create items with old-style takes.... should it ?

[benmiller]

the more i use lanes the more i think it would be nice to have an option so that the second lane created is set as only playing lane because so far and for the forseable future I will rarely want to play multiple lanes together, and i always have that extra click to make it the only playing lane. I think some others might think the same.

And if duplicate lane function could make the new lane the playing lane when only one lane is visibale, or an action for duplicate lane and make the new lane the playing lane.

also in prefs->projects->track defaults-> fixed lane defaults, add "show only one lane"

I'm not sure these request are appropriate for a rc version, but i think these little details will make the lane experience much smoother for some people, and avoid a bunch of FRs when this gets released.

please let me know if you rather see these requests as FR after the release instead of during these RC versions

For doubling it does make sense to play multiple lanes.

It even makes sens top do several parallel compings and play several of those.

only if you have the "record takes" option on AND new item create lanes off AND you explicitly specify a lane to record into (right click lane header button -> "record into lane")

so it up to you if you want to do that

i'm not saying it dosen't make sense, just that for me ans possibly others that is the less used scenario.

[Coachz]

It would be cool if all these comp settings could be part of a default track setting so when you add a new track it would just be that way and there could also be an action to apply the default track settings to any selected tracks.

Of course this should be an option, although I'd bet most producers prefer to keep doubles on separate tracks for easily accessible pan control, not to mention track fx, etc.

Agreed, it would make sense if the solo-behavior for creating new lanes matched that for recording new lanes.

I know I do because there's too many different ways I treat the vocals

[DerTonmeister]

Personally I'd prefer not to distinguish between playing and recording lanes.
It just could be the vice-versa behaviour:
"Active lane" (yellow dot) for recording and listening.

If you want to create a new lane for every recording, there could be an option "record into new lane". Imho that would be a faster and easier setting. You can have "record into new lane" as a default. If you then want to record to specific lanes, you just need one click instead of the current rightclick thing.

having a peaks display issue (only showing very zoomed in)
on sonoma mac m1.
media explorer also being bit odd, not wanting to explore my external drive.

i ccsnt be more help as everything is new at this point. mentioning in case anyone else has encountered.

are there video files involved? we changed a default to disable high-quality zoomed-in-peaks for video (since they are often slow)

[BenK-msx]

this kind of resolved itself - it wasnt reading my external drive properly initially + missing plugins threw it off also.


thanks tho
