Another +1.   I'd imagine that Layers simply didn't have the potential of this new take on things (pun intended), and being part of the X series UI has built-in room to grow.
 


Didn't you make the point that everyone is +1 ing?...... that means you're + 1 ing yourself.

There might be a tactic there that'll help Bapu with his post count. Perhaps you should licence the idea to him.

Cake needs to do an in-depth tutorial video with lanes. I love layers. I work with them quickly. It's part of the reason I'm sticking with X1. Don't release a 'work in progress' (if that's true at all).

Apart from their position in relation to the main track, improved control buttons, diminshed height adjustment, missing rebuild layers function but ability to re-order layers - their in use methodology hasn't changed that much. They are layers by a different name with the differences noted earlier.

What part are you finding different?

I'm convinced we as people DON'T like CHANGE -
Lanes are different and there are some tweaks needed and for me it is less confusing than layers; yet, it could benefit from many of the posted suggestions...

Anyone notice a trend?

It seems like the folks who state that they were confused by Layers seem to prefer having less versatility and functionality in Take Lanes.






It all makes sense.

I think we will see CW implement the best of the two Layers/Lane world...

Personally, I wasn't confused by layers (apart from the rebuild function). You'll find several videos on my YouTube page explaining how to use and comp with them but I do prefer take lanes.

I'm intrigued by this "less versatility and functionality" though, unless I'm missing something they have lost...........

  1. Ability to fully resize/shrink them
  2. The rebuild function
  3. Er...... you'll have to help me out here......


They have gained

  1. Improved Solo mute buttons
  2. Ability to display different data types in each take ie. clips in one transients in another or inline PRV and clips
  3. Ability to drag re-order
  4. Ability to rename a take
  5. Ability to include notes about a take.
  6. Ability to record into a chosen lane

While I completely agree that there is room for improvement in exactly the same way there was room for improvement with layers I don't see the loss of function or versatility. They've gained more than they've lost. 

Perhaps I could refer you to one of the X2 tuition videos to help you get up to speed with the workflow changes?

Hi Carl,

Thanks for providing some proof to support my thesis.
