Focus mode & drop-down
Posted: 07 Mar 2024
Hallo, Reason Studios
Here's an idea related to workflow that would significantly improve the reason experience especially at the later stages of the song creating process.
Focus mode: press a key or combination of keys and the selected rack device goes into focus mode. The device along with every device it is connected to via audio and or cv pops up, becomes enlarged and the background grays out a bit. All the devices connected to it appear under or to either side depending on whether they are a direct audio connection (below or above) or a cv connection (to one side) or a parallel or indirect audio connection (to the other side). Even if the devices are at opposite ends of the rack they would show up next to each other here and can be interacted with.
This would allow for easy access to quickly modify parameters and connections on every device in the chain, saving precious time from scrolling around and guessing which device is connected to what and where, making the process of mixing a large project a lot more manageable within the software.
Bonus: copy live routing method of having two drop-downs to select which device to connect to and to which input/output and the cables follow these instructions. This would speed up the process of wiring up. Wouldn't replace the old way of manually plugging and unplugging.
Thoughts?
