X3 take-splitting
I installed X3 last night, coming from X1 and having not-used X2 due to a few workflow issues I didn't consider worth the effort to overcome.
In short, X3 seems like it'll be my new DAW. Very quick thus-far. Also the updated take-lanes seems to work much better! The parent waveform displays what is ACTUALLY PLAYING! haha That was my huge issue to be honest with X2.
Anyways, I digress. I hope the following makes sense. This is hard to explain without images :/
I recorded 4 takes of multi-tracked guitar. The 3 guitar tracks were in a track folder. I grouped the clips when I recorded them as set in Preferences.
I opened up the take-lanes. 4 takes/lanes per track as was recorded.
I went to split every clip at a point in the timeline (4 takes x 3 tracks). This was the first issue I came across. I am not sure the quickest way to select every clip of every track within a track folder. I had to scroll up and manually click on the track folder, then split them at the "now" time (clicking 'S'). Is there a quicker way to split all clips in a folder at the "now" time without having to scroll up and click the track folder?
I then grabbed the clip to the right on the first take of track 1 and was expecting the first take of track 2 and 3 to be selected as well as they were grouped upon recording and should have remained grouped after being split. However, I found that all clips on the right in track 1 were selected. Nothing in tracks 2/3. If I selected a clip in track 2, only clips in track 2 were selected. Same with track 3.
I hope one of these two issues can be explained as to what my user-error was. If I can help display these issues easier please let me know :)
Thanks!!
