What I’ve never seen clearly in any DAW (so far), is a pitch knob.
Let me explain myself :
You have a Triangle (percussion), that you need to tune with the rest of your song. Most of the time, in the applications, you need to enter a number of semitone (like -1,50 semitones). But the easiest way would be to have, indeed a semitone box :
__________________________
PitchShift – [1,50] + Semitones
(where you can type in the number or hit – or +)
__________________________
AND, right below, a fine tune slider (not knob, slider is more precise) :
__________________________
Finetune -1 [=====()=====] +1 Semitones
__________________________
Another tool of the same category, would be a “reverse” hotkey, like in Acid 5.0 (hit U, and *BAM*… I mean *MAB* your sample is reversed ^^).
What do you think about these ideas ?
PS : I didn’t finish my learning curve of Podium’s Demo, so maybe it’s already here (thanx in advance for telling me where if possible ^^)
