> one quick answer though re. midi clip editor note color scheme: there's something like it for years now: just try turning on View/Note Color menu option.
Gasp ! That's *ezzactly* what I'm talkin' 'bout :)
And with values ! Man, that's even better. No what if we could see other track notes by transparency, you now that "layer" thing some other DAWs use ? You would have a "layer" menu on top of the MIDI clip edit, and you could checkbox-select the track(s) that you want to "see through"..?
On the "summer reading" chapter, I'd like to add :
- What happened to the loop start marker, it's no longer visually aligned with the grid when you "snap to the beat" (doobee doo) ? It's just a visual thing, but still, wft ? Or is it me ? Maybe it's me.
- And another thing : What's with the mixer window ? It seems to have it's own ways. I'll try to explain.
I'm using the "show messages" option turned on, only because I need qtractor to show me all my tracks when I'm looking at the mixer, that I maximize horizontally (right-click) to fill the entire bottom of the screen *and* I still see all the track, with a scrollbar. It's a workaroud. It works great. I can even see the timeline scroll in real time to show me on screen the track I select in the mixer.
What I get this way is basically the DAW I dreamed about, no kidding. I want to see my mixer most of the time.
Then for precise clip editing, I get rid of the mixer window, the message window, and then I got my timeline fullscreen and that's great.
It's when I want to flip from one view to another that things get hairy : To go back to the previous "view", I have to go and fetch the mixer window at the top of the screen, where it persist to go like a stubborn goat :) Why can't the mixer window be embedded MDI-style the same way as the message can be ? Or can it ? That would be really great... I noticed that this behaviour is somehow related to the window manager I'm using, what a surprise. Hey, I'm thinking out loud again ;) Let's go swimming.
