2 easy but incredibly useful features for DJ's

Post by etanmusic » Tue Dec 07, 2010 8:36 pm

1. Search clip names in session view. Seriously, c'mon...

2. Multiple waveform preview option in Session View, in a stacked horizontally parallel, similar to serato's side by side scrolling waveforms except static and would probably need a "cue waveform preview" option so the clip can be selected and seen but not heard until the user decides. would be great to see the shapes of tracks side by side for the most musical mixing possible.

THANKS!!

I'm with you on this.

It would be nice to have a button that you could click that would open up all inspectors on TWO selected tracks. That way you could see clip view for two tracks (great for DJs), and even look at and modify the effects chain of two tracks simultaneously.

It might be clumsy to implement, but I find myself wanting this feature all the time. Especially when you're at a gig and suddenly the DJ on after you calls in and he's stuck on the highway an hour from the gig, so you have 20 brand new tracks you need to drop in, analyze, correct any timing weirdness on them, ALL while monitoring your current track so you can keep your mix going without missing a beat.
