Tracktion Software

why not be able to open a second (or third or forth etc) view of your edit?

You could then have a set of tabs for each view and leave each view open at areas you are working on i.e. a view for the chorus, another view for the verse, another for a working area, one left as a close up of a drum arrangement.

Now there is no need to have to continually zoom in and out and scroll all over the place. Just click on the tab of the view you wish to edit where you last left it.

maybe you could add something like clicking a single track to an open window, and then edit from that resizable window?

Just an idea...

One of the Tracktion features is not to have lots (no) floating windows. ie. one work space.

This is a slick idea - I like it a lot.

Sorta like a diffrent way of doing scree-sets. I like it. It would be cool to have different views assigned to keys like Cube and Logic tho.

In Guitar Tracks Pro, there are widgets (like Mac OS X Finder view widgets) that switch between track, mixer and edit (I think), This makes working in GTP3 really easy, you never have unnecessary window clutter. The widgets are always inthe same place in the UI. That would work well in Tracktion, I think.

I'm a long time user of Guitar Tracks Pro, and I've preferred to use that over other much more involved programs for mixing and multitrack block editing because of its nice interface. But I think Tracktion is comparable with it's "everything in one screen" interface, though in a sense you still have to futz around with scrolling and resizing various things, so it's not necessarily saving you all that much time and trouble. But I'd like to see it evolve with finding efficient ways to work on projects while still maintaining it's single window interface.

I think the beauty of this idea is it requires no extra understanding or concepts or new words.

Just a tab with another view of the edit.

After reading this again, I do think tabs would be better than widgets. You could have as many as you wanted! I would hope they could be saved with each project as well.
