Add Edit and Production Modes #38

As of f37d8c5070b6df26587a2a26bb63b624b1c065a4, the tiles for playing the sound files are still too crowded for touchscreen use. I would suggest adding Edit and Production modes. In Edit mode, the user can add files, cue, and further edit the soundfiles, plus change the tile color, and adjust grid size like mention in #28 . In Production Mode, the user can play, pause, seek, loop, and adjust volume. Going this route will prevent accidental touches, and make the UI much cleaner to work with. Drag and Drop of files should be still around in both modes for quick switching of soundclips if need be.

Sounds good. I will get get around to it.

This honestly should be the highest priority out of anything. accidentally hitting the myriad of buttons on a tile when using a touchscreen is infuriating at best, especially when you're trying to do something timed.

As an alternative to having two modes, we could put a lot of these non-production options in a popup menu, hidden behind a small hamburger menu icon in the corner of a tile. Perhaps top right? Might be a quicker, stopgap solution that requires less changes in the meantime.
