Waveform 13 coming

[operandx]

Anyway here's a weird one. Playing through appears to "scrub" the midi notes from the drum track although the notes themselves are not deleted. Doesn't visually scrub the midi notes from the lead layers.

I don't have screen capture software installed on my studio system unless Win 10 has one which would probably be wonky at best so I just took a quick cell phone video. (don't bother with the sound unless you want to hear a YouTube video playing in the other room).

This is a fresh release of WF 13 so there are bound to be some issues in a new version of software as complex as a full DAW. I don't know if FigBug is monitoring this thread or not.

Is that a Step Clip? May be a bug although I haven't experienced it so far. I would guess Figbug is monitoring to pick up on any issues at release.

Edit: no I see it's a midi recording? The notes seem to be displayed as a drum grid, difficult to see on the vid

Edit Edit: Now I see it and yes looks like a bug with the drawing of notes set as drum grid diamonds. I would have thought it's an easy fix if Figbug picks up on this.

You know you can expand to full screen and hide different sections of the UI and setup custom keyboard shortcuts for those actions right?

Yes, of course I know that - after all I even mentioned it in my posts here...
you can even create action-buttons for it (and many exist already pre-made in the row called "Panels").

That doesn't however solve the issues I mentioned here. E.g. if the outputs panel is hidden, there is no way to see - outside the mixer - whether a track is soloed or muted.

Well it sounds like Waveform is not for you then.

Let me be the judge of that.

Yes the drum track was recorded from the pads on my midi controller and uses the Drum Grid view. The lead layers do not so that might be a clue as they don't get scrubbed. Could just be a one off glitch. Hopefully FigBug will see the post but if not I can send a link to support if needed.

I imagine that after such a release that support is quite busy so I'll wait. It's just a visual issue that does not affect the actual sound. The notes reappears after the track starts again.

Let me be the judge of that.

Of course but judging by your posts so far you're not happy with Waveform's workflow and interface options.

I'd say keep working with it but at some point you've got to ask if the effort is worth it if you're just going to be frustrated to such a degree.

(It isn't really maximized that way though and a lot of screen estate is wasted - grumpy old me hates that)

I managed to sort of work around this by creating a macro that toggles hiding everything (other than the mixer) else when I hit tab

[jens]

And whie I was at it I also created a macro that toggles everything out of sight apart from the arrangement panel - nice!

So for now the only problem that seems left to solve for me is how to combine two multi-take clips into one (i.e. so that the takes get all added together in one single clip) - does anyone have any idea if that is possible somehow?

I told you in an earlier post somewhere. Long winded but you can explode takes to tracks then repackage into a comp clip

[Teksonik]

Could it have something to do with these options?

Basically record as overlay while looping. Then click on + sign bottom right of comp clip and unpack to tracks. Repeat for further comps. Then multi select all unpacked takes and from Properties panel choose Pack clips to takes.

I'm talking audio rather than MIDI though

[jens]

Oh, sorry, I somehow missed when you mentioned that earlier...
thanks a lot, I'll look into it right away - maybe I'll manage to create a macro (or two) for that as well...?

I don't (normally) record any MIDI...

Jens, comp tracks will work with audio clips as well as MIDI clips in very, very similar ways. If you learn to do one, you have mastered the other!

There seems to be a severe bug:

whenever I chose the option "remove original clips", the takes in the resulting comp-clip are empty (i.e. everything is completely gone then)

That's great to hear, thanks!
