One feature I'd really love, which may just fit in with the new TapeX, is an audio file trigger.
Like a sampler, but it doesn't need all sorts of sampler functions, it just needs to trigger the audio files you've loaded into it.
1 trigger per file.
Well, why not use a sampler?
Because a sampler will usually play samples into 1 track only.
In order to play files into several tracks/mixbuses with different settings, I'd need to be triggering files from several samplers.
What I wish is a window where you see 1 square (or some other very visible knob) per audio file, and then you can send this one file to Track 3, this other file to Mixbus 2+4 etc.
Like a global internal audio player that will use Mixbus' routing.
I like Mixbus (32C) for live use, as the mixer window is such a great mixer.
But triggering files isn't that easy, and handling several samplers in different tracks or midi channeling out etc is a hassle.
Also, using an external sampler (which is what I usually go for) means setting up the rig every time, + samplers usually come with stereo outputs, so I'm not really able to route different files to different tracks or mixbuses.
I think this would be a great feature in Mixbus, maybe even in the TapeX window, as this is directed more towards the live part of Mixbus.
Of course it would be great if each file/sample could be midi triggered as well. Great for live use, great for anyone recording a podcast and having jingles, sound effects etc.
One more great asset of an audio file player, is that reference tracks could be loaded there when mixing.
That way you could keep the reference track out of your project ('cause reference tracks in the project, now that's always messy!). Maybe you could even route it directly to the monitor section, so it would bypass any master fx (like compressor and limiter), and it'd be easy to compare.
Maybe even have the ability to loudness analyze the reference track. That would be awesome, for comparison. But now I'm just getting greedy, I guess.
