POLL: Workflow Improvements

Workflow Improvements

• Possibility to set keybindings for ALL functions that are available, e.g.:
  • Snap to Grid Resolution Options - 16th, 16thT, etc., (Keybind-able, like the nudge settings)
  • Transport Rewind/Forward (not Rewind W, not Space)
  • Left click locks Scroll on / off
  • Flexible Zoom Functions (e.g. ALT and drag mouse left/right = Zoom IN/OUT horizontally, SHIFT + up/down = vertically)
  • maybe also context sensitive keybindings, e.g.: opening a dialog like snap to grid via "c" and when active and open close it with "c" again.
• Playback
  
  • Set Now Time during playback not only by clicking on the upper measure bar but also by e.g. Alt+Shift+Left Click on empty space in Track View, Piano Roll View (= much smoother handling of playback and shorter mouse paths while editing a specific part) 
  • A markers "playlist" to auditioning sections of a song in different orders (rtgraham's wish for Sonar 3). Or even better: Possibility to set different loops, name them and assign these loops to the matrix view
  • Most of the functions which - from a users point of view - should not necessarily require a stop of playback, e.g.:
    
    • bounce to clip, transpose audio, stretch audio, clip fx, draw envelope, etc.
    • Audio Snap Filter functions Threshold and Resolution
• Zoom and Scroll
  

  • Center now time during playback on / off (Now-Time stays in centerof view while scrolling the TV vs. the reloading the screen)

  • Vertical track size should be made half the size (half track like in cubase. This doubles the number of tracks visible in TV.
  • Zooming functions: more steps (smoother) and extremer values vertically AND horizontally (more on the screen)
    
  • Scrolling is too important a function to leave as (more or less) a byproduct of how PC keyboards happen to work. Possible combinations with mouse and the keyboard could be
    • to ZOOM in both directions there could be something like moving the mouse (leftright/updown) while pressing a key
    • to SCROLL the same with another key
• Misc.
  
  • Configs of menus should be memorized during one project or session or be saveable in global or project options, e.g.
    • such as Clone Track, Quantize, Groove Quantize, etc. of 
    • Global Grid Setting for one Project (TV, Piano Roll View)
  • Make Snap To Grid and similar menus more streamlined e.g. a litte floating window or a option dialog in the transport or a dialog in the toolbar on the top. 
  • Envelopes
  • Possibility to disable envelopes
  • Have different minimizable tracks for each envelope (like in Cubase), or a quick selection window to activate the desired envelope for each track
    
  • Folders
    • Folder in Folder
    • Folders could have faders for gain, pan
