Proposal to improve track-muting experience

@DavidPackouz

One thing to think about is that once the mute happens at the end of the track or measure, the double tap to mute might not be too bad, because you’re not trying to time the mute action precisely.

I did think of it, and I still believe that I personally will be using mute a lot more often than overdub, and it’ll be annoying to double-click for muting. So, yes I would use RPM option.

Btw you didn’t respond to that:

@dimonomid

But instead of throwing overdub away completely, can we at least make it so that double click will mean overdub? It’s not ideal because there will be a short muting in between of the clicks (that’s the problem which my earlier proposal addresses), but it’s still better than having no overdub at all.

So I assume that the plan is to actually disable overdub completely. However I think that actually makes sense:

• if the option to mute at the end of measure / loop is active, then single click just schedules muting at the end of measure / loop, while second click should logically mute immediately. Same for unmuting back.
• if the option to mute at the end of measure / loop is not active, then, to avoid confusion, there is no such thing as double click: clicking however fast just mutes/unmutes.

Yes, the plan is to disable the overdub for RPM mode. The double click for immediate mute vs cued mute with one click is a good idea.

@DavidPackouz do you have any ETA for the RPM mode?

@dimonomid we are trying to include it with the ROP setting. We hope to have it out in the next 1-2 weeks (assuming we aren’t delayed by fixing critical bugs that are discovered)
