Very nice update!
Thank you

[functionform]

This is a phenomenal update thank you so much! I'm going to start spreading the word about this great plug. I love how you did the loop slicer workflow - it's so quick and all very easily visual at the same time. I got my kick nice and mono from a stereo sample, all within the same plugin in seconds. Can't be understated how user friendly this is. Thank you again!!!

[frankpain]

Installed and updated speedrum version loaded in DAW with no issue. yeah buddy

Thanks, spreading the word is always appreciated

Heh, I noticed the update email, and I just checked out the slicer, figured I'd mangle a few amens on it and see how it behaves... and got totally lost in the moment, it's hard to describe but you managed to do things so right with this one it's crazy ... Seriously, I have quite a bit of experience on different samplers and trackers and whatnot, starting from the 90s, hah, and I recently bought Speedrum, frankly just as "some random Battery replacement that also works natively on Linux if I'm so inclined" - but I've completely changed my view on it, and it will probably be my go-to for these kinds of things on any platform now. Already in version 1.1.0 it's super super well done, gets all the core functionality so spot on, and is a joy to use. Thank you!

[frankpain]

gets all the core functionality so spot on

Agree 100%

Thank you
I guess most who see it or hear about it think just that "some random Battery replacement...", and then don't even try it ...
I don't know, but I don't like aggressive advertising, so it certainly won't be.
But that’s why I thank everyone who spreads the word
