I can load sample files into Ardour (but can't line them up without
pixel-precision accuracy with the mouse ...) apply fx etc but I'd like
to select a section of a track and listen to it over and over (applying
fx, listen for mistakes etc) - Ardour does not have this facilty. I'd
like : select a section, play, tweeek just that section without having
to press play over and over again.
All windows audio apps have this facillty :)
How do people here edit your tracks - do you place the start point
somewhere, press play, listen, press stop, put the start point back,
press play, listen ... seems odd to me. Even my old Yamaha QY-10 had a
loop facility, and my cassette tape portastudio had one!
Cheers,
Andy
