Feature request: Loop Marker status overlay
Posted: July 27th, 1:14 am
I am using MTD as a way of recording audio in sync with another DAW playing a loop in the background (via AudioBus play control). This means I am making quite a lot of use of looping to create different length loops that match the currently looping section in the background DAW. I find it quite fiddly to create accurate loop regions, especially when zoomed out, and sometimes end up with a section that is not quite the size that I thought I had set. My brain also hurts a little when trying to do the maths to work out where the loop should end to make it n bars.
It would be very useful therefore to have some indication as to the length of the loop region which updates as you change the length. In my mind this would be a simple beats/bar (or time, if you have that selected for the ruler) overlay that appears only while you are dragging out the length of the loop. It might also show the start and end point as well so the user can see if they missed where they thought the loop should have started or ended.
Edit: the overlay that you see when resizing a region was the sort of thing I was thinking of.
Edit 2: this would also apply to the punch-in/out cursors as they are also used to define a record area.
Thanks!
