LightsByGreg Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Push, I love the concept. Thank you for taking the time to make the video!Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Steele Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Nicely stated. I never understood why they didn't include the spacebar start/stop from the beginning since every A/V editor I can recall using has this feature. I like the mark in/out as well.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 That would be an incredibly convenient feature. Great demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdeo Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm in. Agreed, this is a must have. Thanks for taking the time to demo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taybrynn Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 This actually seems like it would be better in so many ways.I would also say that the current play options could be kept for backward compatibility in what would become known as 'legacy mode' or something. Those options would be eliminated or greyed out if you were not running in legacy mode.There could be some growing pains because the 'play current view' isn't quite there ... but I really think that using that view was a learned behavior ... because it was better than the other play options but still not ideal.Maybe I'm not seeing the obvious ... but how would you move the playback range defined after your were done with it and ready to move on (further into the song) into another range?I can see how you would listen to a song, get to a certain spot and then define a playback range to work on. Then you'd loop and loop till you get it right. Then moving on to the next section of the song to work on ... how would that happen?Would you deselect the range simply by clicking on a cell and then play from there and redefine a new in/out range ... and then repeat the editing loops on the new range?Watching your video (which is EXCELLENT, BTW) ... I can't help but think about the old Quicken shortcuts I used to use (no longer use the program) and taking their shortcuts to the context of this thread ... I started thinking that if you pressed "s" (first letter in the word "screen") ... that it could jump to the first cell in the visible screen ... and perhaps "n" would jump to end of the current screen.Then similarly, for the "range" (if defined), "r" would go to the beginning of the range and "e" would go to the end of the range. This might not be useful in your example, which showed a range that was less than the visible screen ... but in a longer range that goes beyond the current visible screen, it might be handy. Just a thought.Love the idea ... think it would be WAY way more than a nice to have. Maybe keeping the status quo (legacy mode) ... or making this an optional mode (play head mode) ... would make it more paletable to those perfectly content with the ways things are working today. I know that whether the current way is good or bad, that some people just like it to stay the same ... its a known commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taybrynn Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 How come every time you post ...

Duke Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Just like Sony's Soundforge audio editing software.LOR.... PLEASE incorporate these editing control features PLEASE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If clicking a cell deselects the range, they'd have to reselect the range after modifying the sequence.Perhaps instead something like "Shift-Space" could be "Clear Play Range and Play"?

Duke Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 In Soundforge, the range is selected on the waveform. If it were done that way in LOR then clicking on a cell would not deselect the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
