Hello
any resources would be lovely - or direct answers or principles.
I want to use the cycle editor to perform the following (using footswitches assigned to CC toggles)
Let's say a song is playing (or not), I want to loop over it or jam)
FOOTSWITCH ONE: instantiate recording and loop
press one:
- move edit cursor to next measure
- enable count in
- record
press two:
- extend item length to next measure
- disable count in
- set loop selection to the size of the item
- enable loop playback
- stop recording
- continue playback (now looping)
FOOTSWITCH TWO: I want this to overdub on what was just recorded
- enable play first take only (is this possible?)
- record on new take(s)
FOOTSWITCH THREE: explode entire part horizontally
- duplicate track
- on new track, explode takes horizonally (this would be in use if you took the original recording and played a solo over it, and wanted it full displayed
- delete first take (the original recording)
- make a loop selection for the entire part (snapped to measures)
- go back to original track
- delete all BUT the first take
- copy loop to the entire selection
FOOTSWITCH FOUR: explode entire part vertically
- count number of takes
- duplicate tracks to the number of takes - 1 and name the new tracks layer 1, 2, etc
- explode original item vertically (layers)
- first item, crop to first take (original recording)
these are my initial ideas.
any other ideas for looping would be great, including some midi stuff too
also please point me to resources instead of simply answering questions, I don't want to bother anyone with duplicate questions.
