Alt + Click on waveform to audition slice

Post by dna598 » Sun Oct 18, 2009 1:56 pm

I have made others aware of my need for this, but i have a suggestion. And i dont see how it could not be implemented with complete ease. (btw i am no programmer)

We have the speaker icon for playing the clip. It plays the whole clip. Why cant we have it just playing the slice?

To make things easier I suggest using ALT as a modifier to tell it to play the the currently focused transient/marker/slice when auditioning clips in waveform view. This way no prior functionality is altered.

If this is hard to implement i would like to know why.....It would not impede workflow for basic users, and would allow guys like me to truly hear what they are slicing before committing it to midi.
ctrl + left/right = select transient

ctrl + shift + left/right = select between transients

ctrl + space = play selection
