correct, the tempo-support just lets you define tempo
and meter changes within a session... you can snap regions based
on this info, however there is *no* direct support for pitch or
time-stretching the audio in ardour.
Could make two audiotracks and have the output of one feeding the input of
the other, then change the speed of the diskstream while recording to the
second audiotrack? or is that what you mean by no direct support.
Well, right.... I suppose doing varispeed on the track
combined with a pitch scaling plugin would sort of do it...
but setting all that up is still a very manual process in ardour.
Not that it has to be :)
I would of thought the paintbrush idea wouldn't be
that hard to implement in
ardour, just make a new MouseMode and have whatever region is highlighted in
the region list inserted at the frame corresponding to the point at which the
mouse is clicked. But I guess it's more complicated than that. I haven't used
acid since version 1.0 or perhaps 2.0 so I'm not entirely sure how it works.
Well, it may be just that easy. Having a mouse-mode like that
could make the region inserting process a little less painful.
But what else could that mouse mode do......
