| Summary | 0006716: Loop / Duplicate region by dragging | ||||
| Description | Feature request: (Multi-) duplicate i.e. loop region by dragging the edge of a region. Very handy for loop based production | ||||
| Additional Information | This feature is now in Qtractor 0.7.3 "Ctrl+click and dragging the left or right edges of a clip will now make it spill over and replicate as many clip clones as it fits in the left or right horizontal extent." And it was already in Reaper http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/Item_Editing#Looping_an_Item "Looping an Item All Items except Empty Items can be Looped. The Loop point is defined by the duration of the source Media. If you insert an Item that is four bars long, it will Loop every 4 bars, if it is 8 bars, it will loop every 8 bars, and so on. To Loop an Item: Mouse over an edge of the Item until the Cursor changes to a double-headed arrow. Drag the Cursor to extend the Item. Each Loop Point will be indicated by a notch in the edges of the Item. Extend the Loop as required. The length and play rate of the Looped Item will be displayed as you drag the edge of the Loop." | ||||

I agree that this feature would be nice to have in Ardour. Here is a link to how it is done in Cubase: https://youtu.be/UfeJ3ei6wk4?t=46 It uses a "hotspot"(small rectangle) that is placed in the center of the right side of an event/region and clicking and dragging it will duplicate/replicate. It has the benefit that it doesn't require a key modifier to perform the action. |
