Loop-recording/takes is now being featured right from Qtractor SVN trunk (aka. qtractor 0.5.1.18+). That means you now have the option to automatically fold any recording clip into so called takes, each take sliced from each loop run. Worth noting is that this all works somewhat seamless, whether you have the (loop recording mode) option turned on or else.

To try this long overdue feature (there's no other kind, mind you:), please checkout the greatest and latest source from SVN trunk, of course, or grab some from the latest snapshots ;)

Then go into View/Options.../Display/Loop recording mode. Choose anything but "None". You can choose "Last" or "First", no problem. Any of those will turn on loop-recording split into so called "takes". Just try it out. Just record some material, no matter if it's audio or MIDI, under a loop/cycle range now. You should find that the recorded clip(s) will get framed, or may I say, folded between the loop interval. The resulting clip(s) shown there are either the one corresponding to the "First" loop run or, you guess it now, the "Last" take.

Now just point to one of those recorded clips and ask for their context menu (right-click, Clip/Take menu). There you have it. You can now select which "take" or loop run is about to stay on current playlist. Got that? I hope so. All comments are eagerly welcome.

Cheers.
