More Looping suggestions
Editing loop selection is much better where you just select a loop and hit play and it plays from begining of loop, this works well, but its only a start to a better experiance, touching another loop should playout the now playing loop and jump to the newly selected loop, this then allows you to test the transition between loops which is crucial for testing all loops against each other in case there is a bad loop point that could cause an on stage embarrasment.
On iphone 11 max pro in landscape you can not do anything when in loop edit mode, there is no play button visible, this makes this window absolutely useless.
My suggestion for the loop editor is the whole screen should be used and not a pop up window , this gives users maximum screen space on small devices.
The interface should be devided in to four sections, a narrow menu line on top to exit to settings a + to create a new loop, an undo redo function and an exit to main player button, below this line should be a narrow waveform that basically is the same as the normal waveform player this displays the whole song and all loops are shown there , this is where you can test all your loops to how they work togetger in any order, there you can select a loop and this song position is zoomed in the section below which is the largest window which allows you to see only the one loop point but very accurately to be able to change the zoom point so a very precise loop point can be achieved.This third section is the main loop editor , all the windows are always present for quick operation, the fourth section is just below the main editor this is where you have your green play button that looks like the main players green play button but it is much smaller and it is in bottom left corner, next to it is a permanent loop button which is where you turn on/off for every loop, next to this is a naming of loop area , this is where you change the name of the loops , next to that which is actually the bottom right corner is the colour selection button, when selected it pops up a colour selection window to choose a colour for the loops ,
The interface looks very similar to the ST3 main player window but has different function, it is designed for easy loop creation, the play button is roughly in the same spot, the loop waveform window is basically where the normal waveform window is and the precise loop editing function is where the song playlist / Lyrics screen is, the loop editors menu is where the clock timer song name area is in main player, this maintains a similar work flow area but is rearranged to suit the loop function, the loop function editing deserves a full screen operation to make it very easy to create loops even on the smallest devices.
Basically it is similar layout to TWISTED WAVE software but designed for loops, if you notice ST3 is already layed out like that as well its just setup as a player, just stick to the same layout and give us the looping editing features in a same layout.
You might be already on to this but i thought id throw in some more ideas.
I could almost get on stage with the last beta update if i had accurate loops.
Great to see where its heading i think its going to be fantastic when its completed.
