neat layer feature idea/request

[rpc9943]

Hey.

Adobe does it in their Photoshop program...

What if tracktion had "layers"... Imagine it.

Okay you have like a layer window you can enable or disable (which not only would mute/unmute, but disappear as well as free up cpu) layers of tracks. You could even put like vocals and drag filters onto the layer, say a volume. In that way you could like change the volume on grouped layers that could even be on the same track as each other...

Eh just an idea.

well grouped tracks will hopefully take care of much of that, opening a seperate window for layers seems slightly redundent as the tracks are already right there.

hmm well if done properly it could be like some small layer grid or something somewhere... Anyways what you could do is actually record over the same track again and again and record say 12 tracks of vocals and be able to edit and change them each ... oh well

Grouping in t2?

i think also they should do filter groups, like you could select two or more filters and copy/drag them around etc just like notes

yup definitely hope that's there, it'd be really nice if it'd let you choose serial or parallel routings, and have groups in groups.

Sonar does this, with audio at least. I can't remember MIDI, though it does loop record MIDI. With audio you mark the start and end press record and each pass gets recorded. when you stop, they are all there to be solo'd/muted/mixed, deleted, etc. It's called "comping".

Not that I'm shillling for Sonar. I've just started noodling with Tracktion NFR so I don't know what it can and can't do, but figured you may not know that such a feature does exist in some hosts.

Maybe the T2 helicopter or Pants tools will do this.
