Sounds good. > Talking about the metronome, what about a new control to increase or > decrease the tempo, inside the transport toolbars?

I suggested this years ago, but Rich vehemently disagreed with the concept, since the ability to play with different tempi on the fly is useless in a world where you have audio segments recorded at a fixed tempo. If he has mellowed on the issue somewhat since then, I still think it's a good idea. I'd especially like to be able to speed it up or slow it down temporarily, without actually affecting the tempo in a permanent way � la Cakewalk. > Visual metronome: I guess that a external program, as an ALSA client with a > writeable port should be a better and more flexible solution.

The specific userland problem I need to solve is being unable to play along with anything while I'm recording with a microphone. I don't have any way to hook up headphones to monitor the output of a metronome or backing track. It's fiddly. A visual metronome might be just the ticket. Would it be easier to do as a free-standing application? Could that be useful in of itself in other ways? Is there any way to involve the JACK transport with this so it could be a universal visual metronome that everything with some kind of transport could make use of? -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
