re chords....a clarification.

the idea in track view TV is if there were a chord track that the current chord view would essentially not be needed. (maybe keep CV for those that still want it.).
so people could enter and change chords in chord track.
and thus no constant switching tween CV and TV which i often do now.

All.
on the graphics showing the main work area and then this features selection space on the left hand side could instead a user switch that space to the right hand side.
as an option ? for some reason i have a problem with lots of things happening on the left of a waveform area. maybe its psychological...dunno.
but i tried a well known daw recently and it had all these features on the left hand side of the waveform area that i found confusing and also difficult visually for me.
dont ask me to explain why. i'm weird...lol. just way my brain works.

one reason i like both rb tracks view and reaps version 2 TV is there are just a few
basic controls on left hand side of the waveform area so i can work fast getting ideas down.
not trying to cheese off anyone but maybe also consider anything advanced not related to track waveforms be displayed or hidden at user behest ?
ie not fixed ? eg lets say there is a advanced control panel for each track...
it wouldnt have the basics like vol/pan etc...but the fancy controls like duplicate track or adding a vst or other things ??

just want to mention something else also.

one of the banes of any vocallist like myself is singing a note or phrase too early or late.

so in many daws one just zooms in and highlights that one note or phrase and shifts it forward or back in time a smidge.
OR one can be creative with vocs by singing two tracks ie doubles and then mess around with things like offsets of certain notes/phrases and pans and vols.
lot of nice things that can be done with vocal doubles.
thus the ability to at the note/phrase level muck around with say vols/pans can be used creatively to enhance a vocal double.
for example lets say as part of a vocal track there was an off the cuff adlib...
'lets hit the groove'. but that one phrase one doesnt want centered like the lead voc
but one wants it on the left or right hand side of the stereo image one could just hilite 'lets hit the groove' and pan just that phrase where one wants.

maybe i'm takeing ideas too far...but there are lots of things like above sometimes people want to do to tracks.

just some ideas.
