I would really like this feature. When I first add tracks I add tags to them in the Comments field so I can search for them later.
One thing I'd like is a way to manually adjust the BPM detection. The beat lines are often not on the beats themselves, and there needs to be a way to move them. Also, there needs to be a way to gently tweak the detected BPM when it's incorrect. Typing in numbers is no good for these operations, it has to be done with intuitive inputs. For instance, tweaking BPM detect requires adjustment of two variables -- beat offset, and BPM itself: * initiate beat offset mode. this causes the beat lines to become static, and not move with the waveform. The DJ cues up the track with vinyl or other control, and listens in the headphones for where the beat is. When the beat is located, disable beat position mode. The playhead is now marking a beat, and the beat lines release and start moving with the track again. (alternately, I guess Beat Offset Mode could just be a button saying "put the beat here.") * initiate BPM adjustment mode. In this mode. Pitch Control tweaks affect only the beat lines, not the waveform. So tweaks can be made to the bpm in small increments and then DJ can check the track at various points to make sure it's lining up. (One day, it may become necessary to have variable BPM support. See "Woody Woodpecker" for an example) If these modes were done well, it'd be extremely easy to run the BPM analyzer and then tweak the results as necessary. owen On Sun, 2009-11-15 at 22:50 -0800, Albert Santoni wrote: > Hi guys, > > Today I committed this new library feature we're calling the "Prepare" > view.
