I had this cool idea. What if you were jamming with another friend, and his gear was piped into your live setup for real-time sampling... and he starts doing something really cool... Sure you can hit record to catch it, but you missed the beginning of the part.
What if you could enable "retrospective record mode" for one track? You could set the buffer to 1,2,4, or 8 bars. Then when you hit record, it would start a part from the retrospective bar marker!
This would allow you to have those "Hey-that-sounds-cool-so-i'll-grab-a-loop moments" without having to pre-plan them. And the sample would be in sync and ready to use on the fly.
What do you guys think? Please forgive me if Live can already do something like this... and also let me know. hah.
