Synfire 2 usability question

Posted

Hi folks! So far I am not so happy regarding the usability in Synfire 1 which somehow made me to gave up - now the new hope.

Especially:

  • Can't zoom also verticaly. (on my screen the figures are so small that I can't edit there)
  • Recording something is a pain - I tried it now again, but was not able to ... and latency is horrible (must use a real DAW for that)

Did those things change with version 2?

 

PS: I am used to Studio One, which is IMHO a dream regarding the usability - maybe worth to get inspired from.

Much has been improved with version 2 regarding navigation, usability, window layout and everything (including zoom). The new demo is availble from today, so I suggest you try and have a look.

With MIDI-Through enabled and using the Audio Engine for input, the latency while recording (sound response) should be similar to a DAW. Of course, since all input needs to run through figure recognition, the workflow is not as immediate as with static MIDI.

Thanks Andre. I would like to test the trial but I can't find a download.

--edit--

ok, I got it: applied for the general Synfire demo and now I got it in my profile. Looking forward to test it ;-)
