(things that you think should be function differently than they do. ex "The dark color of the inactive VU meters should be a gradient the same as the real active VU Meter,but of course - a dark version of it.Having everything green feels unrealistic." (nevermind it is a gradient anyway)

* it would be nice to have a different '''plugin browsing structure''' : i wouldn't like to have my plugins organized by name, but as in my vst folder by ''kind'' (compressors, delays, etc.) (as it is for example in EnergyXT, Krystal...)
+
===Post Production===
-
Or just (as the search tool tofind plugins in typing their name is very good), give first the choice in 2 categories : "[vst], [vsti], [midi plugin]"...

-
 
+
-
* the ability to record midi in '''loop''' mode, in order to modify an already recorded take (for example, recording only the notes at the first take, and then knob automation... Or, with a drum synth, recording first the kick/snare, and then the hats at the second reading of the looped zone)...
+
-
* '''basic audio editing''' (trimming, cut, reverse...)
+
-
* "end in source/length" in item properties
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
== GUI / INTERFACE ==
+
-
 
+
-
* Better fitting '''grid''' in tempo/bar mode. (for the moment, when we change from tie to measure, the grid stays in "time" mode, so it is very confusing : it looks like non of the clips are synced !)
+
-
* the ability to also '''group tracks''' included in a folder track in the '''mixer''', (like it can be done on the column on the left part of the screen), in order to save space.
+
-
* a graphic indicator of the '''cpu charge''', always visible.
+
-
* A more unique '''interface''' (no basic windows please ! I don't claim for big changes, but just something sobre, minmalisitic, with plain graphics that take no cpu charge : a custom font, more unique faders and icons for the "item grouping" section, the track resize cursors, the faders...).
+
-
* having '''both bar and time visible''' : or from the grids, or in display next to the transport panel...
+
-
* '''custom colors for each clip''' if the user want. I mean : a default color for clips (user definable, as it is already), but also the option to have the beats clips in orange, the bass clips in blue, etc.... Even if folder tracks can help to organize when you have to handle a large amount of files, custom colors are a nice gadget.
+
-
 
+
-
== FEATURES ==
+
-
 
+
-
* '''loop recording''' (for audio & midi), and more recordings modes (as asked on some threads).
+
-
* '''auto-stretch''' of audio clips when changing tempo.
+
-
* '''efx on a single clip''' in a track : More than just having efx on a whole track, but the ability to have clip-related effects... (like in Tracktion).
+
-
* a backup file for easy recovery in case of project crashing, and maybe a debug mode/ error report.
+
-
* MIDI : Maybe midi editing '''tools''' ? (but it already works fine as it is in version 0,951...
+
-
* MIDI : '''Midi cc assignement''' for every vst/vsti (some kind of a midi learn feature for the vst that do not havethis on the gui...) and / or the ability to assign an envelope curve to a controller knob/fader, and record that automation on the fly (even required for volume/pan envelopes on audio).
+
-
* MIDI : '''pattern cloning variations''' : The ability to take a midi clip in a track, put it in another track, edit it, and then the editor would ask if we want to modify it, or clone the original to apply the modifications only on the second copied clip : the first one, on another track should remain intact. So we could make easy & quick variations ofmidi patterns.
+
-
* Better '''loop''' handling (audio & midi), better stability...
+
-
* a "'''paste insert'''" feature : in order to insert (instead of replacing or "putting above") the copied data to the clipboard.
+
-
* when '''recording''' : it would be nice to be able to have more features when the recording is over, and that a dialogue windows pops up to prompt us if we want to save or not the recorded data : '''''pre-listen''''' the take (audio or midi), to see if it is good or if a mistake (in the routing options, in clipping) has been done and so if we should better delete from disk, and also it would be fine to have the option to '''''rename''''' it.
+
-
*some '''shortcuts''' are alright, but i find the [ctrl+alt+e] to edit the take a bit boring, so an '''icon''' would make only ''one mouseclick'' to edit the take.
+
-
* in the '''mixer''' line, being able (as in tracks mixer row on the left), to '''close folder tracks''' to save space. Sometimes, Folder tracks are used as submixers, so in most cases, we do not need to see sub-tracks. Clicking on the folder icon woud make it appear again.
+
-
* in the '''midi editor''' : better visible bar indicator (the bar number could be written above, as in the main screen, and the green color hurt the eyes combined to thin orange & red lines...) ;
+
-
It would also be useful to have a "navigation tool", in order not to have the obligation to hear the full midi clip each time, but place a cursor from where we want the lecture to start.
+
-
* in the '''media explorer''', it would be nice to be able to use the "arrow" from the keyboard to browse sounds (up/down), like we can do in many explorers (Xniview, Windows media explorer...), instead of using the mouse.
+
-
* being able to have more than one audio editor in the preferences folder. (one by default is already good)
+
-
*add a '''media explorer''' type feature for '''Markers''' - so you can see a list of Markers and jump to them by double-clicking on one of the Markers in the list
+
-
* '''automatic search''' of lost files when opening a project. For now, it must be manual, and in case of huge HD with many folders/files, it can be quite penible...
+
-
 
+
-
* about REAROUTE : '''synchro start/stort, tempo-synced''' from one application to the other "rearouted" one.
