Dj feature- Marking Tracks

It would be really great in session mode to place markers at certain points in the waveform of a long clip. A dj could mark off sections of a song that way, and it would make it much easier to loop sections or jump from part to part.

Why not use warp markers for that?

Or create looped sections, and save them back to the browser.

That's what I do.

hah, that's a good idea, and pretty obvious, now I feel like a dork!

Okay then, I'll change the request to-

Allow one to right click and "label" the warp markers to allow one to designate track sections.

problem with having multiple song division markers in a clip would be, where would the clip fire from if you didnt click on the marker manually? ie if you fired the clip, would it start on the first marker or the one closest to the play position?

i think improving on the way the start marker is set would be enough:

theres still the existing snapping problem in the clip view ... ie, they havent been able to get the marker to snap reliably to the visible grid lines.

so resetting the start accurately - which is crucial to a lot of live remixing teqniques - is still a crapshoot under pressure, you have to zoom way in and screw around sometimes to be positive its on.

because if its not on, instant trainwreck. imo coming up with a solution to that would go the farthest ...

I would like to be able to colour the different parts of a track with different colours - ie - Intro = Red, Verse = Blue, Chorus = Green. I know this can be done easily enough by setting loop markers and copying the new loop to a different clip slot and changing the colour - but wouldn't it be easier and quicker to be able to choose a colour for a section of a track?

I like the colored sections idea, pretty neat actually. Much easier to see on stage than naming the warp markers would be IMO.
