Possibility to Cancel Record/Overdub While Doing That
planned
ultracello
Description:
Users would like the ability to cancel a current record or overdub session directly while it is in progress. This would be particularly useful when using a MIDI foot controller, where a single switch may be assigned for both rec/play/overdub functions. A long press could serve as the cancel action.
Problem:
Currently, once a recording or overdub has started, there is no simple way to immediately cancel it without disrupting the workflow. This can be problematic in live performance situations where quick reactions are crucial. Additionally, users often change their minds about recording or hit the switch accidentally, leading to unintended recordings.
Proposed Solution:
- Implement a long-press or dedicated action that cancels the ongoing record or overdub.
- Provide an option to choose between:
- Undo/redo cycle of an overdub
- Undo/redo full overdub
- Prevent the initial recording of a clip from being deleted when using the cancel function.
Benefits:
- Improves live performance control by allowing quick cancellation of unintended recordings.
- Reduces workflow interruptions when correcting recording mistakes.
- Provides flexibility to manage overdub layers efficiently.

Also, related: undo should move through overdub layers granularly, not just undo last overdub session (and all layers thereof)

Michael Tysont this!!!
The 1st undo/peel needs to clear track.. the 2nd undo/peel needs to “undo” amount of layers of last overdub, same for the 3rd and so on
Record stop and Stop play??? Anyway to make “stop play” stop the track when in recording? (This is for 2 button per clip.. button 1 rec/play button 2 stop) … I have this set up with widgets but it’s not very stable (order of commands rec stop is on top)

Jack Arnold: Agree to this.

Please give us the option so we can choose by ourself:
- undo/redo CYCLE of an overdub
- undo/redo FULL overdub
and please a setting that prevents the first initial recording of a clip from being deleted 🙏
