Creating a medley with songparts

Frank-Ol

Is there a workflow to create a medley from full songs, but only using song-parts - maybe with 3 songs? I think of making song-copys (I want to still have the full song) with start and end-points, which only leave the song-part I want to use. Autoplay (without crossover) starts the next shortened song-copy up to the 3rd song. Is this possible within the queue? All other songs shouldn't use autoplay. Or how would you do this?

Stage Traxx is no audio editor. The best way to create a medley is in an audio editor or a DAW.

Yes, I know. Call it "rough" medleys. Instead of playing the complete song in a show, I only want to play a part of a song - direct one after the other. Maybe just a verse and a chorus for each song. Nobody cares of different tempo, key and so on. When I do it an editor, I have to edit again lyrics. I am looking for a solution to do this with my already existing stagetraxx songs. So I need to set a start and end point. This I plan to do in the song settings. Or is there a midi command?

You could do that by setting start and stop times and then using autoplay. But I think that would be a lot of tinkering to get it right.

I think you could accomplish this easily by allowing the ability to sequence loops that are created, you are already halfway there in that you already name the loops in a song, you could simply allow a list to play the named loops in a list without have to be "an audio editor" I was asking about this same type of feature in another post, I don't think we're asking for "audio editing" in a DAW sense, I think we're just asking asking for some flexibility for functions you "already provide" namely loops, simply add a way to allow playing the loops in a formatted list so we can play them in a particular order or not, maybe give a button to enable the feature or disable it if you want it to ignore the listed loop order, as a software developer myself I dont believe telling the software to play "already named loops" in a particular order is reinventing the wheel or even replacing some type of feature in a DAW. I happen to use reaper, and making several loops and making a list to play them in a particular order is "not a feature". I think the feature could be easily implemented by having a simple 2 column table that names the loop and order to play

Column 1
Song:Name Loop:Name (which you are already asking for a name, so you must be storing this info already)

Column 2
Order / Sequence to Play
0 - 9999

You could potentially add a column to play the loop you already named a certain number of times.....

When the song plays, it would see that this list exists and play the sequence, unless the button is toggled off to ignore the sequence, I fail to see how you would have to deal with any rewriting or audio "new feature" functionality.....you probably already have the basis for this......its called a "playlist" and you already accomplish this

This is like having a playlist of loops in the song......please consider this functionality as it would really make the looping section of your software a "game-changer" you could literally play different versions of the looped song different ways to make it more interesting and really have some fun with it

Just do it in in a DAW like it’s been typically done for the last 30+ years

Let @peter focus on what ST3 is at the core which is an audio file player with the musician in mind.

Requests are great and helpful but looking for a feature that is already available through other means can free up his time to make continued tweaks improvements and features that are widely beneficial to majority users

Explain how this feature is available in a DAW? DAW are not generally helpful during live performance scenarios, but I can learn from your explanation, thank you for your help!
