Snapshots enhancements

[Jeff0S]

I would like snapshots to handle even more states:

Track record options: arm, input, mon type, mon media, rec source
"Native" envelopes: vol/pan/mute/etc
For paste/merge have option to append FX chains instead of replace?

Perhaps start going down the road of item states, too...

I'm not sure if were meant to comment on these tim or if these are just "self notes" :)

If we are then, sure! this sounds like a great idea!

They're "somewhat" self notes but of course you're always welcome to post here.

While I'm at it,

• Folder settings (Depth) and Master/parent send

• Full visibility like envs visible, track heights.

• Track receives

• pan law with the pan option

• ability to change slots. Double click on the #, probably.

Any enhancements to this excellent function are most, most welcome. Are you any closer to getting the automation snapshotting implemented? :)

Cheers

(Oops, I almost forgot to mention that if you could include VST automation whilst building the automation storing/recall stuff for the native envelopes that would be legendary!)

I think I've asked this before Tim but would there be a way of including Vol and pan automation in a snapshot like we have for fx envelopes (possibly as a tick box in the snapshot window)? :)

It would be pretty useful but no rush as usual!

Still loving the RMS stuff!

Issue 147 has been merged into this issue.

Haha MBN, I already had the envelope stuff written when you added that comment!

I've implemented native envelope and pan law snapshoting in v2.1.0 #3. I've released this as prerelease https://code.google.com/p/sws-extension/downloads/list as it needs testing! r353 There's still plenty of possible snapshot improvements so I'm leaving this open.

Status: Accepted

Fantatsic thanks! Downloading now and will test!

Works so far so good! :)

I had an idea, if at somepoint you can save all automation for a selected amount of tracks within a TIME SELECTION ;) then we would have a powerful "takes" system for automation :)

Just a wild idea!

hey,

how about item mute states? this would be SO useful (for me at least, others too?)

Hello!
I would like to propose something like a "external snapshot", "relative snapshot" or "linked snapshot" (name as you like). The idea came from the linked libraries feature in Blender 3D, so if you know this feature you can skip the explanation.

Imagine a folder structure like this:

In a case where everything in both songs are equal (the tracks, FX, track volumes, pans, etc) it could be handy to sync the parameters in both projects automatically, or at least from the same source (in the case, the exported snapshot). The proposed feature is basically an "auto import external snapshot" + "auto apply snapshot at project load". Alternatively, the possibility of the snapshot not being local to the project, but linked from a exported snapshot could help enormously to sync the same parameters in multiple projects. For sure, the external feature should have a checkbox to differ from project's local snapshots and externally linked snapshots.

I hope that you understand what I mean, and I hope you consider my request too. Thanks! 😄

I'd add track playback time offset
