Ability to delete bad recording - Track or Part

[BrennanSingularSound]

@Chet_Gardiner

Ability to delete bad track or part when Aeros stopped or on the fly, during playback/recording.

When a part is deleted, subsequent parts move up to fill the space if part deleted is not the LAST part. Maybe locate at next empty part/track after deletion.

Otherwise, remain at track/part just deleted ready to initiate recording.

I can’t say we will do this anytime soon. It’s not because it is not possible but because it is a fundamental way of how the Aeros works. It was build to not allow “holes” between parts or tracks.

We are not at a point where we feel comfortable spending time on this as we have plenty other things to tackle at this time.

We can consider this but no promises on when if ever if will be done. Likely this is more a polish than something we consider a crucial feature for right now.

For this reason I will tag this as under-consideration

Thanks for the request

• Prepare to undo (because that will silence the track so start replaying that track)
• Time your undo long press to be just after start of loop to give space to get the record press in
• Realise you’ve just jittered on the long press and caused it to overdub not undo.

It seems you may not be aware of the Cancel Recording feature which can be found in the Device Settings. Simply turn it on and you can undo any recording/overdub immediately while recording/overdubbing by tapping the Play Stop All button. This helps users avoid hold commands and should solve your issue

@SimonWood

• Curse as you realise that there is no way back to get rid of the bad track (you can now only undo the overdub and never get back to undoing the bad track itself)

This is also untrue unless I am misunderstanding you. You can always undo both the base layer and overdub layer, to undo the base layer after the overdub layer, simply keep holding the button down until it is fully undone. If you are talking about not being able to undo an overdub that merged to the previous base layer, that is true, this cannot be undone.

@Jdd

Why this isn’t a function is beyond me.

As stated above, it is part of the fundamental code and the unit has a strong undo/redo system that allows users to completely restart a part by undoing all existing tracks.

@Chet_Gardiner

They responded to one of my other Feature Requests for a high functioning Export/Import Program.

We may not have responded to your specific issue you posted but this is already planned. We are not shifting the timeline for this any further than it already has been in the last few months, it will come as early as possible. We can only work on so much at one time.

Thank you for your feedback

@SimonWood

Chet,

if you are recording at home in a studio, you can solve this already. (No idea if this is ‘approved’ but it works).

Doing this is working at your own risk, we do not have an approved method for doing this.

@SimonWood

@BrennanSingularSound would this be possible (you’ve stated that the current architecture makes it difficult to ‘delete’ a track) if the request was to ‘zero the audio’ on a track

Not really, the issue is not the ability to delete, it is the architecture around the tracks and how they are saved and used that makes this difficult to change.

Our time can be used more effectively on other features that we believe are more critical for a user experience.

@NYHC

Could be better as they finally make the USB port working !

This likely could be a future use for the port more news soon on that soon!

If you feel this is unsatisfactory, let’s try to keep the energy constructive, we understand it’s frustrating to be told “no” or “maybe” but we have many users to appeal to and we must compartmentalize our efforts and execute with focus or releases will not be coming out as they are now.

Thanks for the feedback guys
