While I understand that folder track support comes in handy, did you check to vertically zoom (via pinch/spread above the track list)? This option allows to adapt the arrange view as desired in milliseconds.
Best,
Lars
May I add a suggestion here?
What about having an option to show selected track at maximum vertical zoom while the other tracks are minimised? This would make it easier to focus on one track avoid doing a lot of pinch-zooming...
Call this 'track focus mode' or something like that
Seems like your asking for destructive editing on the timeline, I prefer the non destructive. Once you have a trimmed part on the timeline you can make copies of it for use in the same project...and if you do want a lined up trimmed version in Mediabay for export, set the loop markers and do a mixdown of that track
What I would appreciate more is a 'Remove Unused Audio' option that trims and cleans up the original source files once I have finished my edits, much like cubase used to (I haven't used Cubase since SX3. long story!)
This is how I normally do drums....and mainly why I want AUX or BUS tracks so much, so I can combine them together for compression and EQ afterwards
At the moment you would have to do a mixdown of the drum tracks, pull that into the project and then you can compress and add EQ to the drums as a whole.
+1, this gets particularly busy once you start freezing MIDI tracks as you are doubling them up in the arranger
Actually, thinking about this....what would be really sweet would be that if you create a track group that you can expand/collapse like this...you then get a mixer channel(BUS) for it also !
This is true BUT once tracks are squished to fit onto the screen you cannot edit them as easily, If you want to re-order tracks for example , this is pretty much impossible if the tracks are squished, and I find myself repeatedly squishing/unsquishing when trying to organise tracks.
Optionally' destructive when tapping 'trim'
It could just reflect the portion of the file that is being used by the event on the time line instead of selecting the entire file.
If the file is being used in other places in the project a copy will be made anyway so I don't see it as fully 'destructive' more like 'crop a copy'.
Mixdown seems to be a bit too much as it would be enough with 'save selection/event to media bay'
(This could work for both Midi and Audio events).
Ahhh ok I see what you mean now, yeah that would be useful.
With regards to trim making copies if already used elsewhere, just make sure you already got another copy of the audio on the timeline BEFORE you trim your entire 10 min awesome lead guitar solo
Most of the time I just make a copy of the audio-event to another track or save it to media bay before I start to edit.
Another feature that would be a real time-saver for me would be to 'freeze event' instead of having to freeze the entire track. This would make it super easy to create snippets that could be sent to the mini-sampler for triggering.
If/when Cubasis gets a 'Sampler Track' it should naturally be possible to just do 'Selection > Sampler Track' on both Midi & Audio events.
It will be very interesting to see what's cooking for Cubasis 2.5 but I do feel we'll see a few 2.4.x updates before that happens!
They always manage to surprise !
Guys quick question on opening and closing of IAA apps once in a Cubasis project. Do we have to first close all IAA apps the close Cubasis? Same for opening.
I ask cause I had Step Poly Arp and Sampletank 2 in two tracks but when I went to try to open up the project Cubasis locked up showing max cpu. I was able to remove SPA and the CPU went to normal. So I wondered perhaps I’m not closing or opening the appsbin a particular way.
When using IAA apps it's always safer to open the apps first before trying to connect to them from a host.
The logic behind this is for example if a user has selected a 'port' pointing to an IAA app in the session and that app is not running or loaded the port-settings will get messed up. If the app is already running the port will be in place.
Since IAA's can be quite shaky in general I don't trust hosts launching them, it's a hit / miss.
While if I launch the IAA app first and then connect to it I have a bigger probability it will work.
Thanks Samu. Main reason why I’ve been using AUs the most. But I have a really nice effects setup in AUM that I tried to replicate in Cubasis but couldn’t due to the effects insert limitations. I still don’t get why there’s a limit. I can understand this when iPads where very low powered cpu wise but not now. So I have to use AUM as IAA port input hosting all my Effects. But hopefully the effects limitation will be removed in Cubasis.
Woah. OK. I had no idea I could do that. Hah!
. Very,very nice for copying and shifting clips. Fantastic, thanks Lars!
Here is a photoshop of @samu auto focus action...
OK, I'm confused... exactly how does one invoke this view? Please be specific.
Little things like this make the workflow so much better. I hope Cubasis team adds them in the next update.
@sch You just do a vertical pinch zoom in this area
You can’t have one track focused like in that photoshopped screenshot, though. I think that was just to illustrate a suggestion.
Correct.
Guys I noticed also and don’t know if this happened before but some AUs are not recalling their presets correctly unless you save the preset in Cubasis. So from now on, I’m saving the preset into the Cubasis user saving slot as well.
@Lars
One thing I find with the pinch zoom is that it 'anchors' on the first track as opposed to the center of where you are pinching. If it could center the zoom on where you are pinching that would be more efficient and not require you to then pan back down to the track you are on.
It's a feature that is currently NOT present in Cubasis
(We're just brainstorming on how to make Cubasis even better).
The idea is to make more room and focus on the track that one is working on and keeping the other tracks minimised.
So tapping on a track would zoom it and minimise the others.
This type of feature is present in for example Adobe Lightroom, there it's called 'solo mode'.
Meaning only one panel is fully expanded, tapping on another panel would expand it and collapse the others.
Ah, it's a mockup! Sorry, I misunderstood. Thanks, Samuel.
No worries! If the ideas make sense or feel appealing feel free to give them thumbs up or trash it.
This way we'll gather enough ideas with broader community support and also help @LFS and his team to bring us features we really want
Ok. Just ignore me, then.
Just noticed my track numbers were not consecutive in my little photochop... I'll be out back flogging myself.
I don't like your track colouring scheme either, add a few lashes for that too
Sorry Sire! Random lashes will be appropriate.
You're fired.
Great suggestion!
