Audio Segment editor suggestion

Damir

Hi Peter and all, i am going to suggest something , can you provide feedback if this would help you or the majority.
When we select a loop to edit we get side handles to move the end loop points , what i find would be helpful when you have two loops side by side if we had another handle that would immediately move both loop points together the end of previous loop and beginning of now loop or the end of now selected loop and the beginning of next loop , this eliminates number of stages to shift a loop point , you simply select the handle that moves both points at the same time and you're done, so you can easily experiment which is the exact perfect spot to have the xover.
I hope i have explained it well enough to see the benefit.
One suggestion is to have an upside down triangle handle on the top of the waveform so the tip of the triangle represents the exact edit point so you can easily drag it left/right to perfect the loops.
This triangle only appears if you have two side by side loops and you have selected a loop to edit .
This would save editing time.
What do you all think?
I know its a bad time of year for this suggestion but perhaps when things calm down.
Cheers Damir

This functionality is a good idea. Not sure about the correct approach. Most likely a seperate handle seems to be the best option. I will take a look at this for version 4.

I don't want to clog up the forum with a bunch of my own requests, so I'll add a small one here on the audio region editng since it's related.

It would be nice to see sub second divisions in the timeline when zooming in all the way, I haven't done this yet, but I'm going to be using ST3 to fire midi signals to control lights, etc. Since the way of doing this is manually, adding the times to the lyrics document, it would be really helpful if we could see the exact ms marking when, for example, a chorus begins.

I do this when I'm editing the lyrics to make the pdfs jump to the right place, but that doesn't need to be as precise as I'd like the lighting cues to be, as long as I turn the page half a second to a couple hundred ms before in advance of the first bar on the next sheet it's fine. For lighting triggers though, I imagine I'd want to dial the changes in to be in the ₁₀-50ms range, if they are timed with the music, kinda around the threshold of what we can perceive as audible delay.

I can do that.
