2 Feature requests.
Hi there,
some suggestions: 1. please have an additional automation mode 'preview excluding fader'. I always mix with all tracks in either latch or touch/latch, all plugin parameters automation enabled, preview enabled all the time. That way I can always tweak all plugins, sends and pans on all tracks without accidentially writing automation. Standard post production workflow. Sometimes I forget to disable preview before doing a delicate fader move. This sucks. 2. Additional editing mode 'half-smart tool'. Have the smart tool but without the trim and fade modes. I don't know anyone using these. They are in the way and making you slow, especially in big sessions with very small track heights. Everyone uses a & s for trimming and d & f for fades. Please Avid! |

Re: 2 Feature requests.
I think you could come up with some sort of macro to warn you when you're in preview mode if you touch the fader. Regarding the smart tool, I love options but I use the trim and fade on the smart tool constantly even though d and g are more common for me.
I whipped up a crappy little app that you can run to let you know if you're in Preview mode. I'm sure you can do more automated things with it. Quote:

Re: 2 Feature requests.
I think a better visual indicator that you're in Preview would be nice. I actually wouldn't mind two indicator lights in the toolbar area. One for Automation that lights if anything is currently writing. Another for Preview so you know at a glance if it's active.

Re: 2 Feature requests.
I’d love for that too. I wonder how difficult it would be to create something like The Cargo Cult’s AFE Alerter?

Re: 2 Feature requests.
a & s are all very well for trimming back, but what if you want to extend the clip? Surely you have to use the trim tool then?

Other DAWs acknowledged that, i.e. in the Logic Preferences you have checkboxes to activate those "click zones" to customize your "preferred" editing workflow.

In these cases it would be OK to manually switch to trim mode. |
