Browser big improvments

Post by mates67 » Thu Jan 06, 2011 10:28 am

Don't know if this was already submitted but why not adding a fullscreen browser view feature?

this one would be called by a button located under the arrangement/session view buttons on the right side.
Features could be similar for example on what you can find in Iced Audio Audio Finder which is a smart piece of software regarding sample managment I think.
Sample waveforms displays show as list/icons/miniatures, real time preview listening, easy audio editing/bouncing/effect applying, beeing able to apply colors to presets and plugins a favorites feature, etc.

With live beeing on of the best DAWs regarding working with loops and samples, and sample libraries growing day by day, this would'nt be a non-sens direction to take to make a huge improvement in the current workflow.
Personnaly I've always been annoyed by the actual browser features ( I know I'm not the only one) and take time to find something in it. This little column whit it's scroll bar isn't so friendly.

By the way here is my vote for the other features I would like to have in the next version:
- A convolution reverb
- curves in automation editing
- easy sample editing and bouncing in clip view

Cheers

You mean like the MediaBay in Cubase?

Good idea!

Yes, I don't know Cubase and it's media browser but it seems that that's the idea.

Go check http://www.icedaudio.com/ to see Audio finder.

the goal with such a feature would be to organise your sample library with it and to have a really quick connection with you project

I'd like it if you could see multiple columns at once like how clips are. A column for plugins, samples, live devices, etc. Being able to make more(nearly unlimited) custom views would be good too. Like you could have one that just showed live's MIDI effects or one set up to show just reverbs and your favorite go to synths, or certain samples etc. Less digging down through folders, please. Searching multiple columns at the same time and more powerful sorting options(size for samples?) would be a huge time saver as well.
