PROBLEM and Feedback re loop BAR selection system
I have found an issue when creating a new loop too close to another loop or an end of song where i cant create a loop unless i shift away from this nearby loop or i decrease the bar selection to 1 bar, now i believe this new system is more of a nuecance then a help as you need to stuff around just to get a loop which probably wont work for you anyway if your song has got slight varying tempo within it which most older songs do the new robotic stuff out now will probably work as its been precisely recorded , so my view is this unnecessary selection of 1 to 8 bars is pretty useless and forces me to do more work than i need.
I might need 9 bars or perhaps 12 where does it stop.
I would like to see a smarter auto option instead where if i need a loop between two loops if i place my playhead there it automatically creates a perfect loop in that gap because if those other two loops are perfect than this newly created loop should be automatically perfect and i would still be able to quickly shorten this loop if needed, this speeds up the creative process it does not slow it down like it is now, if you have a 3 bar gap between two loops and you just want to fill that gap to be a loop choosing a 4 bar or 8 bar option will not work as you are talking in bars and the timeline is talking in time you have a guessing contest to which you need to choose otherwise you are just wasting unnecessary time to figure out which bar sellection you need, there are other reasons not to have this time wasting option which i wont go in to now , the only thing you benefit from this is a posability it might give you a moving window that roughly fits on screen which will probably need tweaking anyway and does not cater for 12 bar blues so its more of a pain than a gain.
I would rather have a move to a position hit plus get a loop that starts at the begining of the pointer and gives me a rough 4 bar space that i can then manipulate as i please because its really easy now and if i happen to be in a tight squeeze between two loops it auto selects the end of one loop and begining of the other creating a perfect connection that still allows me to tweak. If im at the ending it attaches itself to the end of the nearby loop to the end and allows me to tweak , this is more important than guessing which bar selection i need.
SIMPLE AND QUICK
i dont want to have unnecessary choices when creating loops i dont want to spend time working out 300 songs BPM which most dont have perfect time anyway and it wont work for me accurately to create perfect loops , i just want a quick perfect loop without computer genius knowledge, dont forget we are musicians first computer geniuses second.
Always focus on the important things first.
Whats important is for us to see the screen we are working on at all times.
How fast can you create 12 loops in a fearly complicated song that varies it tempo.
How can i test all the loops with each other to see if they all work as expected.
How quickly can i make 1 perfect loop.
I gave it a 2 out of 10 , now its getting to a 5 we still need to focus on a number of things before we get to 10.
