Real Time Properties in MIDI w/ regard to Playlists

[Kourquie]

Another thing that really slows down a session is the Real Time Properties on Midi/Inst tracks. When I create a new playlist, the RTP that I have set up go back to default. However, when I duplicate a track, they remain. Either way, its several steps to restore the RTP's to the setup which I configured. Why wouldn't the new playlist just keep the same properties? Is there a pref for this? Do the designers/engineers of PT USE PT, or do they just write code?

You could view this as an interpretation of Playlists.

This would be cool however.

Because then we'd have just as many people complaining that they want a new playlist to have default properties because that's why they're creating the new playlist - to try something different with those properties.

If you want the same RTP on a new playlist, duplicate the playlist.

All of them use it.

I can see your point, but if you're transposing for the key and doing a bunch of takes, it just makes sense to keep that property active. Adding a pref, or some sort of lock on the RTP view would be a GREAT addition! Maybe in 8.1?

Ummm…

If you're making another playlist "just" to try different settings for RTP, wouldn't you be duplicating the playlist?

Thus defeating that purpose?

But I could see benefits either way.

Hey Kenny - I see what you mean, however what I also see are a myriad of different workflows from customers. There doesn't seem to be any 'ideal' that works for everyone.

For the OP - when you duplicate, isn't it as easy as doing a triple click on the track to select all the data, then delete it to have a new playlist with the same RTP? What about creating several playlists with the same RTP before you even start recording - that way you can just switch to a new one whenever you're ready to do another take?

I'll log your suggestion for 'retaining RTP for new playlists', too...

As a Preference I hope?

Honestly, I don't do enough midi work to have much of an opinion either way on this.

Trying to appease all customers is probably maddening.

I think that's something we can definitely agree on!

Now I envision all the calls from customers wondering why their system doesn't work like their buddies because they don't know where the preference is...!

See what I mean?
