Sorry to confuse you: 20 bucks upgraded from T1.

Only as an external tool:

Yes, but that would be destructive wouldn't it? I just want the clip window to change, not the underlying audio file.

Post

Yes, it would be destructive. And no - I don't know an automated & non-destructive solution for splitting clips in T itself. Could be a FR... :wink:

Switched from PT. I'm just starting to get into MIDI and may run into a wall, but so far I haven't come up against limitations.

djsubject, you go ahead and post it as a FR. Thanks!

I know you didn't ask me personally, but one suggestion is to setup a multi-out vsti in a rack filter, assign each output to a track, then save the edit as a template.

I know what you mean, Nuendo automatically created an audio track for each output, and that task alone was much easier in Nuendo (sure it's the same in Cubase and others). This would make a great feature request for T2.5...

That is good except I often throw it into a project just to see how something sounds. Doing this is much easier in my other hosts. In TRacktion I have to fuss with outputs in the rack which is very awkward. If it autoamtically created outs to tracks that would solve the issue for me.

R-click the filter -> "wrap this filter in a new rack"

this will do all the wiring for you and replace the filter with the newly created rack. Now select the rack filter and choose the output pair..

.. two extra steps that you would not have to go through in Cubase I grant you, but this will only happen a handful of times during a mix. How many times do you have to open Cubase's mixer screen and wade through umpteen multi-output pairs that aren't doing anything during a typical mix? I know which I prefer ;)

I use BFD in Tracktion also...when I just want to play with sounds or compose, I just use the stereo BFD...I wouldn't even think about using all outputs unless I was doing a final mix, and really needed that flexibility of putting different effects on the snare, etc...

I found that 90% of the time I opened BFD in Nuendo, I wasn't taking advantage of the multiple outputs anyway...panning and levels can all be controlled in BFD without it...

No I stay away from cubase - I hate cubase. Tracktion is much better than that pile of ... junk. I use Sonar and FLS for multiout VSTis.

In T2 I always get lost when attempting to choose the output pair. This always glitch and I end up confused which goes where.

Just a matter of naming the rack outs sensibly surely? I think the rack takes the plugs output names when you wrap it, but if these aren't helpful you could always rename the rack outs, then save the rack as a preset and load that in future rather than the actual plug..

Racks can be saved as presets? I did not know that! Cool Thanks!
