For example I would like that follow actions to be applied not only to clips but also to the scenes.
This would have the following advantages:
- It would be possible to see an entire song playing, without the need to manually launch any other scene;
- It would make possible to launch various clips at once, without the need to establish follow actions for all the clips in the scene;
- It would avoid the problem of follow actions only work on clips arranged as groups;
- It would favour the creativity because there would be no need to be concentrated on the time when the scene should or should not change.
Inspired in MS Office Excel, I also think that any clip in the session view should have the ability to be launched or to launch any other clip, regardless of where it is located in the session view. As is usual in any song, a drum loop or a drum fill not only precedes a new drum loop but also a new guitar clip or a new bass clip. What I’m asking, is for a feature that allows to launch for example the clip located on (Track 3, Scene 3) after clip located on (track 2, scene 2) as already played. The reverse should also be possible, instead of saying that clip locate on (track 2, scene 2) would launch clip located on (track 3, scene 3), we could say that clip located on (track 3, scene 3) will only play after clip located on (Track 2, Scene 2) as played.
In the first case the clip on (Track 3, Scene 3) is dependent on clip (Track 2, Scene 2), and we establish that on clip (Track 2, Scene 2), in the second case clip (Track 2, Scene 2), precedes clip (Track 3, Scene 3), and we should establish that on clip (Track 3, Scene 3). In short, in any clip we should have ability to say which other clips depend or precede that same clip.
Multiple precedent or dependent clips should also be possible:
- For example clips on (Track 3, Scene 3) and on (Track 5, Scene 4), would only be launched after clip on (Track 2, Scene 1) as played for a certain amount of time. That is clips on (Track 3, Scene 3) and on (Track 5, Scene 4) are dependant of clip on (Track 2, Scene 1).
- In the case of multiple precedent clips we could imagine a case were a clip, lets say clip on (track 2, scene 3), will only play after clips on (track 3, scene 5) and (track 4, scene 1) have played.
I could be hours talking about how this feature should work, but I think you are getting the idea.
