People seem almost aggressive, because some of us think that marker tracks don’t work as well as dedicated notes system, as proposed here. I think it has been made clear for example in JLM’s suggestion that there is many things that marker tracks don’t cover. And like powernemo said, it’s clear that Marker tracks are not meant to do this (and probably that’s why many functions are missing) since nothing of sorts is said in the manual. Even if moderator says so.
Hopefully someone at Steinberg sees this post and we will see these features implemented in the future And even if some users are rude I hope that we will get more great ideas in this topic!
Seriously?
It is called using tools provided to do something that is not documented.
I use a large bolt with 2 washers to remove bearings from my bike. Just because it isn’t recommended in the non existent documentation that comes with a 40c washer, doesn’t meant that I can’t use the washer for a gazillion different things.
Place a marker at the right time, name it (1) , then on the note pad, write (1) with want you want done to the part/track etc. Not pretty but absolutely does the job. Like my $3 bearing remover.
I gotta say, it sounds pretty rad! Imagine being able to jot down quick notes right on the timeline while you’re working on your project. That could save a ton of time and keep things organized, you know? Plus, it’d be super handy for reminding yourself of stuff or leaving notes for collaborators.
i would love to have sticky notes on the timeline.
as workaround, i create blank midi tracks with no input and output set, and draw events at that location and put in my text notes into the events name in there and color them in specific ways that makes sense to me, that way i´m able to keep all sorts of related notes within the project in sight
Imagine opening a project 3 years from now, and you see annotations such as “Re-record bars 32-48” and “Delete bars 64-50”, and then wondering, “Did I ever implement these changes?”, all because you weren’t disciplined enough to stay on top of your annotations.
I think I’ll stick to my pen and paper.
And even if some users are rude I hope that we will get more great ideas in this topic!
