Working on it!
Quick question for you guys: "Capture Recording", "Retrospective Recording", or "Look-Ahead Recording". What name do you prefer? That's the mode where Loopy's always recording, and triggering a record will capture the last n bars.
None of these would have made me guess what the function actually does. 🤷 Would something like "Always-on Recording" be too descriptive for your taste?
That's not bad - although I don't feel it's quite descriptive enough either, as the critical part is that triggering it will lock in the recording, rather than it truly recording all the time.
I was trying to find already-in-use terminology - I notice that Logic Pro uses "Capture Recording", and Cubase, Traktion/Waveform, Samplitude and Live it's "Retrospective Record". I think I probably need to use those...
I'd vote for "Time Machine Recording".
We can't have the future now so it must be the past.
Hehe, cool name, but I think it's gotta jive with the existing platforms' terms, so people can recognise it. I think given that Live uses "Retrospective", and Live shares a big crossover with Loopy Pro's prospective audience, I'll adopt that...
I think ‘capture recording’ would be best out of the three.
Retrospective isn’t a very common word - some people may not know what it means.
To me ‘look ahead recording’ is confusing - when planning to record anything people are always looking ahead to consider what they are about to record so people might think eh? How can I not look ahead to record?
How about ‘capture back recording’? or maybe ‘snatch back recording’?
I think that’s a good way to go.
I’d say Retrospective, probably because I’ve used Live more than other DAWs. Your instinct to follow your prevailing market segment makes sense.
Retrospective +1
To me LookAhead sounds like something it’s doing but not an action.
If I press a button named “LookAhead Record” it’s telling me it’ll start doing LookAhead recording, not that it’s been doing it. Whereas “Retrospective record” is more descriptive ... actually ... “Retrospective Capture”?. You’re not really recording, you’re capturing what’s already been recorded.
Retrospective is the only single word that says what it means in this case. Period. Gotta be that.
If you want something new doesn't “look back recording” make sense? Or “last loop recording”/ “previous loop recording”
Capture Recording matches the upcoming Capture Midi from Atom2 which is the same thing for... you’ve guessed it... midi.
Retrospective Recording is the best description of the functionality - I would be able to guess what that does. And I’m a sucker for alliteration.
Tough one!
The (MIDI sequencer) Toraiz Squid calls this function ‘Time Warp’.
+1
Retrospective recording sounds good even as a Logic Pro user like me
Passive Recording would be clear to me, but I might be special.
Retrospective is as I call it
Some AU windows (position and size is saved with project, so it all comes back up again)
You’re on FIRE 🔥 awesome to see these plugins as windows! Looks wonderful!
App of the year this one definitely.
What does that expandable bar along the bottom do? It looks associated with the active window?
Effects list; tap to toggle the effect on and off, tap the expand button on right or swipe left to open the UI (also, dragging left hides that expand button, dragging right shows it).
Which year?
Couldn’t resist. ❤️ U Michael!
Sweet! Looking good!
😄 Almost there now. Already in (very limited so far) testing.
Awesome news!
Huzzah!
Auv3 Audio... The Final Frontier.. This is the voyage of, IOS music production.. really, the future of music production..
Looking forward to it..😎
😱 holy shit, floating windows!! that is huge!!!
How would one switch tracks for that bottom bar effects list? As in to the different fx chains of each color group (i think color group was conceptually a "track" if i am remembering correctly?). Is it possible to have windows floating from multiple fx chains at once?
