Hey ULTRA HYPNOTIQ,
Glad you're enjoying Studio and thanks for the feedback we really appreciate it! Let me touch on some of the things you've raised.

1. Instead of holding down shift to solo make the S icon always visible and the mute (M) icon side by side on the deck.
Holding down Shift to access Solo isn't ideal, we agree. We're currently looking at some options to make this more accessible, one of which is to expose both Mute/Solo.

2. Make the mutes and solo automatable and allow them to be written in from scene to scene.
We've been asked for this a few times so it's definitely on our radar. Perhaps something we can add in a future update.

4. Note repeat like the MPC - 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/24 1/32 1/64 & X3 for each setting.
This has been another popular request that we would like to offer in an update.

6. Is there a transient slice mode in the sample deck? Example slice to region, transients or by bars.
Not yet, currently Slicer will just set based off the BPM starting from your playhead position. Once we have added beatgrids, we would like to make the Slicer snap to the grid (or at least have this as an option). In the future we can look at additional Slicer options like Transients if they are still required.

7. Ability to zoom in on the sample waveform (fine zoom) for a more precise view to be exact when slicing samples? Also a pop up that shows up to 64 pads for an Ableton push style chop - helps when trying to find usable slices fast.
You can currently zoom in on the Sample waveform by pressing the +/- keys on your keyboard (or using a mouse scroll wheel). Are you finding that you want to zoom in even further? Regarding 64 pads - our next steps here are to offer more Pads in Sample Deck. We might not jump to a full 64 just yet but we may get to this in the future. A question here - when we add more Pads, will it be important for you to SEE all of these pads at once on the screen? or would it be okay if they just work on your hardware and you use 'banks' in the Sample Deck to see them? We're just a little cautious about showing too many things on screen at once and making the software look too busy.

8. Export option to MP3 format.
Happy to tell you we're working on this right now and it will be available very soon!

9. Export to Ableton LIVE - ALS EXPORT to open the session in Ableton LIVE.
Another feature we've discussed a bit. Certainly something we'd like to consider in the future.
Quote:
11. Ability to set the scene length as low as a 16th note, or 1/8th or 1 bar.
I can see why you'd want 1 bar, but just out of curiosity what are you wanting to do with a Scene that is as small as a 16th note? Could this be something you achieve if Studio had Audio Tracks in Song View?

14. SS can identify the key a sample is in so could be assumed that for us non-playing people the next logical step would be to offer suggested chord mode (Generates Midi Chords) in key. This option would also offer inversions, genre style: neo-soul, pop, blues, jazz etc..
We'd love a chord mode too! Certainly a possibility we'll look at in the future.

15. Bluetooth issue.......I just tried out the Bluetooth connection and it is not good at all, sounds muffled and low quality with very little volume, this is a fix that is needed.
We have been getting a lot of reports of this so we will be investigating the issue to see how we can fix/improve it.
Quote:
Excellent list... In addition, I would love to see the ability to analyze files in Serato Studio so that I can analyze my samples. Also, I would love to see the file structure captured as crates upon completion of analyzation.
Both of these are things we would love to add in an update in the future.
Thanks again for the feedback, hope that helps a little. Most of these are certainly things that we are aware of an want to look at in the future :)
