what do you think about the idea of multiple song playlists for v8?

- why because i can try difference arrangements without messing with the automation or the pattern seq. like when i make a song, after a while i feel i want this particular set of blocks should to go earlier and move some other blocks here and there. but i avoid as far as possible do this because i am afraid it will mess up the automation. the option select drag mixer/master channel on/off can be set, but is prone to errors. sometimes you want the same automation on the target bars after a move, but it messes up the whole setting, before and after that region. i am sure you must have experienced this. this sets a caution when moving blocks here and there when your mix is taken shape.

- also i can compare one arrangement to another and improve upon it without any limitations. this would give sort of another angle at your song.

comments?

in answer to yor question, no i have not experienced errors moving around blocks using drag automation, works fine here, always has done

im happy for you

thanks.....you know even a stop watch works perfectly. so there is no need at all for any time view in the main tool bar you can just start/stop your stopwatch and you get perfect time, by your logic ....so i am also very happy for you

which basically means you dont really use automations

Was Rich ever going to look into having two or more OP's opened at once? That would be the solution right there. And to Copy/Paste between the two. I was amazed though that copy/paste for patterns at least does work for different loaded songs in OP 7.6. So if OP can do that, why not just be able to have another instance of OP opened and loaded with song B per say and toggle between the two?

What would be the hold up to get OP to do that? :confused:

but it doesnt solve the problem. i want to play arrangement A and also compare it with arrangement B. i cant be opening 3 save files going back and forth, its not efficient!

how is it any different? In fact, I'd suggest it's less convenient, because you can open multiple instances of Orion and quickly move from one to another or have two playing together.

but as i said i want to compare 2 arrangements or 3 arrangements in a fast, productive and efficient way. multiple song playlist is the way to go.

It's stupid. The most time-consuming part of comparing two arrangements is taking the time to listen to them, everything else is secondary and irrelevant, surely?

i want to listen to 2 or more arrangements in the same sfs.

Sure, and I want to be the next president of the Untied States. So what?

I've had a couple songs that we did a few different mixes of. However, those also usually include some changes to the sounds involved, so I'm not convinced this idea would be too useful for me.

Exactly, it's just too narrowly construed, achieves very little and offers nothing at all over saving multiple versions.

save alternative arrangements then

sure if you like to wait for 15 seconds to load another sfs

Even our songs with four full-length vocal tracks don;t take that long to load. A song with no audio tracks takes no time at all. Anyway, as I said, it's trivial to open multiple instances of Orion and switch between them.

It's never worked on effects though, has it? I don;t use much automation, so I can't remember.

when you open >1 orions under ASIO both freeze

so you consider comparing 2 arrangements time consuming and stupid? wow your brilliant! REALLY

then i reopen Guantanamo bay and i pack your ass off.

and thats how i feel about your skins

probably loading an sfs only with <10 wasp is faster compared to mine.

yeah and yet you dont use automations and happily you stick your dick into the topic. which mean you really dont think before you post.

because it does not work here.
