1 month ago @dmt-hub i really like this idea. so this would basically create a Sample FX layer called "Mute" and put stuff there. but.. what i do wonder is, if there's stuff in the Mute, does it kick it out of it? and what happens if there's multiple Sample FX Layers that are already in use? i have bumped into people who have a multitude of sample fx groups in use. how to tackle that? i guess i could store them but i worry a bit about state refresh.
the other thing "sample layer volume" - do people tend to set those sample layers volumes? again, re-fetching the state might be difficult. if we all agree on -INF dB to 0dB then that's fine, but anything more customized, needs protection against being wrecked.
i can do the "destructive version" first and then can try to figure out how to do the rest.
issue: when having many sample layers - i want to mute some layers in one go - tool with shortcuts to do this & 2 options of muting/unmuting/soloing
Option 1:
The tool creates a sample fx layer set to mute and adds the selected sample layer to that fx so it is muted. also a solo mode for this tool - the selected sample layer is not muted, but all others are going to the muted fx sample layer. pressing shortcut again will unmute or unsolo it again (reverse action).
Option 2:
press shortcut and the sample layer volume goes to -inf db. solo mode: all other sample layer besides the selected one goes to -inf db. press shortcut again - to bring back the volume to its original state (unmute) (reverse action)
