Cntrl key does that already IIRC..
There you go, one of my new feature request implemented already :lol:

Honestly, I thought I'd tried that already without success, but I see now it works fine.

Thanks Platinumears.

I would probably agree with that..

how do you know what jules has time for/considers important enough to implement?

like lalo said, you opened the thread asking for what people where hoping for. the answers aren't a point of discussion imo, just accept that your priorities may differ.

surely you can see that one persons 'bloat' is anothers desperately needed feature?

Just expressing an opinion :shock:
That wasn't for you, but Ron. You posted while I was replying and.... sorry.
I wondered :wink: 8)

I'd love to see...
(in no particular ordeR)

---

Clip based automation (copying automation blows pretty hard.. I'd take this over anything else)

---

Folder Tracks with the VSTs applicable to entire folder (something to get the screen nice and organized).

---

Ghost Clips for Audio/Midi/Automation

---

Loopable Clips (Audio/Midi/Automation) - Get rid of the Loop button where you have to select the number of times to loop the clip. Just make it a little "L" on the clip to turn it into loop mode... then drag the clip to the length you want.

---

Duplicate clip (but create new source... what cbit is talking about) - I'd agreee it takes too many steps currently.. and it should place the clip in the edit so you don't have to drag it from the projects page. It should be as simple as holding a modifier key+drag.

[ctrl]+drag clip = duplicate with same source
[ctrl]+[shift]+drag clip = duplicate by creating new source (rendered based on what is visible in the clip)

---

Native browser - button on the left... when you click it, the lower control panel becomes your browser with sample preview and midi preview (sending the output of the preview midi clip to whatever track you have selected so you can hear the clip - this is really your idea Lunch Money! hehehe). A browser just makes it easy to files into your project without having to flip back and forth to the projects page. If it had the searching capabilities of the projects page, that would be even greater!

what exactly is a ghost clip?

also, do you guys agree with me on the project view? I dont like how it keeps a link to every single freaking export I make :)

Interesting.. how do you envisage that working?

You mean destructively apply effects that have been draqged directly onto the clip? Not sure I'd want that, unless as an option.. after all you can currently do that by rendering..

It looks like a track.. so on the right side, you can place filters on the folder track.. and it will apply those plugs into to all content inside a folder. It could be VST effects or a synth. A folder might just contain a bunch of midi clip tracks you want feeding into a a single VSTi. Or maybe it's a few audio takes that need to be unbrella'ed under a few effects. It's kind of a more organized way of using track routing (but I'm not suggesting to get rid of that option). It should collapse all sub content into a single track visually when shrinking.

when I said visible, I mean the size of the clip. It should basically render a new clip but determine it's size destructively. Duplicating with the method I suggested should simple copy any effects and place them on the new clip (non destructive). We are just trying to figure out a way to not have to render and go thru that whole mumbo jumbo, when you simply want a unique version of a clip. :)


an ron, the Ghost clips are when you changes in one clip effect all other clips linked to it in the same fashion.

I actually do like that... (clearify - I like it keeping the links to all exports).

Is that via routing or effects per clip is matched?

That is interesting.. but doesn't it assume that all the tracks in a folder route to the same destination? Also that they're all MIDI or audio (rather than a mixture)?

you wouldn't typically need it to be any other way, IMHO.

My take on this is that what I'd like (looking for something very easy to implement that adds limited extra UI) is simply a button on the track properties called "hide all tracks that feed into this track". So setting up folder tracks would simply be a case of creating a group mix.

Maybe. I'd have to think about that.. it would feel like sacrificing some of Tracktions flexibility to me..

That would work (and I'd be fairly happy with it) but I envisaged a system more like Cubase (VST anyway, don't know SX that well) that lets you group any tracks into folders according to any (arbitrary) criterea.

eg: I might want a folder called "pads" to combine MIDI destined for internal filters with MIDI that routes out to a hardware synth.

If the destination is rerouted on the track being placed into a folder, then it would continue to send to it's destination and ignore the folder's effects/synth... but tracks outputting to thier default desination could be effected by any vsts on a folder track.

I'd see no reason you couldn't have a mixture of midi and audio. A sub track might have midi with some vsti, and another sub track might be a few audio clips.. All of which could be processed by Track Folder effetcs..

I can't say it's fully thought out.. hehehe :wink:
