Happy Friday - new public beta available 6.1.9

[TSC]

Hey guys - build 6.1.9 is in the public beta folder - a bunch of bug fixes and some cool new features. Be sure to check out the new 'retrospective record' feature - allows you to capture clips from the past when you are not in record - and even when you are not playing - so you will never have one of those 'damn I wish I was recording.....!!' moments again. You can set preferences in the 'options' list in your edit - then simply press the new 'clock' symbol in the top right hand corner of the screen (next to the CPU management system) to capture previous events. The system will capture info for all tracks with inputs assigned - enjoy

Here's the full list:

HBe sure to check out the new 'retrospective record' feature - allows you to capture clips from the past when you are not in record - and even when you are not playing - so you will never have one of those 'damn I wish I was recording.....!!' moments again.

Oh god I do that all the time, this is awesome.

I also updated the book to include coverage of Retrospective Record and made corrections to the sections that previously said count-in doesn't work in Loop mode.

Hi,

what are the new texts integrated in this release?

When can one expect a fix for Steven Slates Trigger 2 plugin. Works with T3. But T4, T5 and T6 crash back to Desktop.

Probably depends on whether you sent them a crash log.

That's a good start for the week end !

Are the lazzy GUI issues with microtonic and Waldorf attack2 solved ?

Edit : NO

Probably depends on whether you sent them a crash log.

Can you link me to instructions for how to do that? I have a persistent issue I need to get in front of the guys... thanks!

Cool update. I think it would be nice if you had an option to play the count-in for loop recording on every loop around. Then if you could make it possible to turn the click OFF during the count-in (it still plays whether click is set or not). That way you could use this feature when not working on the grid and still get some pre-roll for each loop/take. This would be simply amazing for vocalists or soloists trying to nail a phrase giving them a sec between takes to re-group. I have always wanted something like this.

Also, there is still some weird action when changing the BPM of an edit. Change the BPM slider in the properties menu and watch your input/output markers move, along with any split clips in the edit. This can be troublesome if you don't set the correct BPM setting right away on a mix.

6.1.9
- Added pinch-to-zoom for track area (hold ctrl for vertical zoom)
Can't find vertical zoom on OSX
Edit : after a good night, think it is perhaps linked with trackpad ? It should have been pretty to mention it !

6.1.7
- New feature: Retrospective Record. Create audio or MIDI clips without recording
I haven't catch the logic on this, I play some notes, clic on the clock, sometimes a huge midi clip is added (24 bars) with the notes at the end of the clip (last bar), sometimes a short clip is added (1 bar).
Edit : still confused

6.1.8
- New feature: Count in for loop mode recordings
Can't see this feature in midi loop mode recording
Edit : perhaps only for audio recording (which I never use).

make tracktion crash with your issue.
open again and on the lower, left corner of the projects tab press "help".
choose "show the tracktion logfile".
then copy the logfile and give it a meaningful name and send that to tracktion support.

The issue has been reported a while back. Still waiting

Anyone take a stab at retrospective recording yet?

After messing with it briefly it seems that the clips are not importing properly in time. It puts the clip end at the cursor stop point, but since it seems to be recording when not in play it throws everything out of whack. I don't really see how recording when not even in play would work anyways, how does it know where to place the material?

Then after a bit the clips will stop importing into the edit altogether. I'll see a clip properties menu open up, but no file actually goes into the edit. It does appear to be recording because I can go and manually import it, but then it's still not lined up properly.

That's what I wrote a couples of posts before, i have no idea how retrospective works, can't undesrtand the logic.
Where does T6 put the recorded file on the time line, how long the clip will be, where will the recorded material be inside the clip ???

You still need to go into record in the normal way. However when editing the clip, you can reveal the extra audio by adjusting the left trim handle or right trim handle.
