i'd pay up to 50 dollars for it!

Another banger idea, thanks for all the work on the in theory gui

Too nice to be true.

I'm not sure that the record labels would be cool about the idea of being able to edit whitelabel files, but including this functionality would tie in/expand upon nicely with what I wrote earlier about a "preview" function in SSL:

"When the SL-1/TTM57SL is unplugged, one "Preview" deck would appear in part of the currently-empty space (where the decks usually are with an SL-1 or TTM57 connected). This would have a subset of the usual features in SSL's decks, but would be programmed to play through the computer's internal speakers (or whatever audio interface is selected in the computer's operating system for sound playback). This "preview" deck would be disabled when overview building is taking place, and would of course disappear and be deactivated when an SL-1 or TTM57SL is connected.

The "preview" deck would run internal-mode only and have no pitch-control, key-lock, pitch-bend or censor. It would also have the "auto-play" function of the normal decks removed. But (to make it useful for prep work) it *should* have the overview and waveform displays, and allow users to set cuepoints and loops.

One possible issue (with any editing for MP3 or other lossy-encoded files): other than simple edits and gain-changes, I'm almost certain that decoding/re-encoding of the file would be necessary.

For simple editing though, it would be great to have the capability in SSL to do it *without* having to decode/re-encode. I've got a couple of applications that do this (MP3 Trimmer for Mac is an application that's developing quite nicely) but none of them are good for much more than chopping stuff off the beginning or end of an MP3.

why would they have a problem with normalizing, or expansion?
I dont think they have a problem with you looping a record.
Do they have a problem with you adjusting the eq, or the gain?
Do they have a problem with you playing only the first verse, or juggling, cutting scratching?


the editor could work like this



I think the cut copy paste kind of editing should be able to be done without re-encoding. normalize, compression, expansion, limiter, eq would probably be mean encoding to a native editor format whatever that would be. but adding cue points, and maybe simple cut, copy, paste should be able to be done

maybe you could call it a cuditor-cut/editor

lol
