Track Versions are a big -meh- for me. If I were a true recording engineer (acquisition) I’d be more excited. But I do MIDI orchestrations -and- audio and very little of it is done in a linear way, ie…
- Record Everything on Monday
- Mix on Tuesday.
That’s not how I roll.
What I -really- need is not so much Mixer Undo (which is a super-popular F/R) but rather… a snapshot of the entire VSTi automation. IOW: A Track Version for VSTis.
Eg. I record a B4 performance. It’s MIDI, but it’s also got tons of drawbar changes, expression, leslie on/off. I want to be able to do 10 takes and have all those changes recorded as V1, V2, V3. etc.
This would actually be MUCH more valuable to me than a Mixer Undo because an Undo is a one-way deal. But a whole performance (ie. 10 Track Versions of all the parameter changes) that I can see and then edit each automation point individually? MAN, WOULD THAT BE GREAT!
