Re: [LAU] First impressions of MusE 2.0

Thanks for the informative text Dan!

Yo can set as many tempo-changes as needed for gradual changes resolution only limited by BPM-ticks. This method can be a bit crummy if you want to slide tempo frequently in a track but it is in fact working OK. The only thing one could miss regarding tempo in A3 would be some "swing/humanize" automagic I'd say... To be frank: I do not understand, why this feature seems to be in so big need for some Ardour users. The non-destructive editing in A3s regions easily competes with any wave-editor not only in the Linux-camp. Export/consolidation-automatisms add a lot of the feel of a destructive editor too. In a word: I use A3 as my main wave-editor already whenever I need more than just a fast cut of a fieldrecording. The only editors I also really use are MHWaveedit (unbeatable lean and stable) and yeah... well forget... ;-) really? To be frank once more: the audiotracks of both Muse and RG are 1995 at best. And I did not see big progress in that field in both in many years. Though Robert himself makes great recording of hand-played music with Muse I still think that the audiotracks in Muse are barely usable. Try to cut regions and loop them, try to cut and arrange some 12-16 tracks as it can be easily done in Qtractor and the same as easy and with even much more extra-powers in Ardour. Anybody remembering Audioheads Orion back in 2001 or so? I do not see much more regarding audiotracks in Muse and RG. best regards HZN
