I take it you are kidding. Any time you mess around with waveforms,
particular when they are drawn with frames_per_pixel != 1, and then
add lots of interconnected buttons and features, its never
simple.

you don't think being able to find loops within a multitrack,
multichannel DAW is useful? i'm not against standalone apps, but this
seems like a definite feature. ProTools has "BeatDetective" precisely
for this purpose.

Oh, its not hard. Its just more work :) Like I don't have enough ...
