Make/create? Sorry, I'm laughing here. For many people make = create.
English is stupid, but it is what everyone uses... some of us in N America
are too stupid, arrogant or whatever to have learned a second language.
(and most people who use English as a second Language have better spelling
and gramer than native speakers)
because of not highlighting or raising the region list
in any manner,
because of not giving any notification or clue of what it actually does.
I can see that much.
Of _course_ everybody and his dog will chime in and
say "boy, are you
stupid, it's like with any other DAW you should already have used, and
you can just do this and that".
Nope, not going there, I wouldn't have known that either. I probably would
have changed the pin connections on those two channels, unplugged the bad
side and used it as if it was mono... or something like that. Perhaps
routed the two good channels into a bus to deal with things as a stereo
channel. Making four mono regions and using two sounds better.
I was not complaining that Ardour is useless for
expert workflows. I
was complaining that it makes it much harder than necessary to discover
said workflows.
General rule, feature change takes some time, gui change to make that
feature visible takes 10 times as long or more.
