[2] In the course of building a composition, I will create lots of custom clips which I will want to reuse over and over at various places within the composition. To use a linked copy of one of these custom clips, I often find myself drag-scrolling clips from section of the edit to another. This tends to be a bit cumbersome. Shrinking down the size of the edit does make the drag-scrolling of clips faster, but in longer compositions, the clips become too small to click that little "L" control in the clip header to perform a linked copy.
A couple of Waveform/T7 enhancement requests

[1] I like to start my compositions with a bar of silence at the beginning and sometimes an empty bar at the end. This practice provides a small cushion of time at beginning and end to promote a trouble-free audio export of the entire composition; it can serve other purposes as well. Unfortunately, this practice interferes with the fade-in/fade-out features of the Master.
It would be a useful addition to Waveform if we could delay the start of the fade-in by specifying an offset from the beginning of the track. It might also be useful to move back the end of fade-out by specifying an offset from the end of the track. Right now, the fade-in may only start at 00:00, and the fade-out may only stop at the very end of the song.

Is it possible to provide a new browser in Waveform/T7 which would present an organized collection of all of the distinct clips created in the edit so far, from which a new linked clip instance can be selected and dragged into any track?

The master volume doesn't have to start att bar 1. You can make any number of nodes in the automation curve. Just make two nodes at the beginning. Drag the first to bar 2 and the second to where you want the fade-in to end. The same principle is of course usable at the fadeout.

Thank you for the suggestion.Stuttaton wrote:The master volume doesn't have to start att bar 1. You can make any number of nodes in the automation curve. Just make two nodes at the beginning.

I am not currently using an automation curve at all; I have just been simply setting the fade shape and fade duration individually for the master fade-in and fade-out settings.

Was the master fade-in/fade-out feature intended to be used along with a volume automation curve for fine-tuning it?
