![]() I only have so many years left (as do we all) and I consider mouse clicking and file format conversion and any extra steps at all the creative equivalent of sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. I have used SONAR for many many years and its approach to doing this is totally inefficient and unacceptable to me. I am focusing totally on workflow to optimize the way I work. But if I let the loop recorder just run, then eventually I got to where I had 4 bars down and I just want a FAST way to trim the bad parts off. However the lick I wanted to loop yesterday is in 5/4 and has a couple pickup notes preceding the downbeat and that was hard for me to press the buttons and play without blowing it. Previous ideas had been in 4/4 and were easier to capture. Yesterday I sat down with my SooperLooper/Hydrogen looping setup and started getting some ideas down. If there's an open source DAW that does this then I am interested, because maybe I could pull that function out of it to either be standalone or integrated into my Franken-Looper concept (bits and pieces of various programs crudely stitched together). It's mostly a matter of how efficiently it can do what I described and if there's some possibility that it can be linked to a MIDI footswitch. Regarding "does it matter if it has extra features"? Well, not directly. If you anyway need concept of tempo and need jack sync, it is reaching something like DAW. Sure it does have features you don't need, but is that a problem?

I'm not sure if WAV file metadata includes the ability to save tempo/time sig information, I will have to check. I just want to trim and audition loops in the simplest way possible. I don't care about effects plugins or tone generation or any of that. Also, its relationship with JACK is not good. Ability to audition the sample while it loops would be nice, and if it could sync to JACK transport, even better.Īudacity (which I have used for years as a basic editor) doesn't have a concept of tempo or time signature except to create a click track, which doesn't help all that much. Snap to zero crossing and/or auto fade at the edges would be great too. ![]() So, ideally, I'd pull this into an editor that was aware of both the tempo and time signature so I could easily snap to these boundaries to trim on measure boundaries. Then I either make a mistake or decide it's gone on long enough. So I wind up with a loop that has N measures of silence or me fumbling around and then several measures of the part being played more or less correctly. The typical scenario is that I am running my looper and recording and it just takes me awhile to settle in after hitting "record" to play the part correctly. I need to trim loops that I create sometimes.
