Question

It is frustrating to have to delete any audio event prior to pasting or dragging another over it... It would be great if one could select a mode (globally AND on a per track basis if desired) to have events replace the events they are pasted or dragged over. Additionally, overlaps can create a messy visualization when editing multitrack drums, for instance.

Answer 2

Yes! This should work elegantly like in Pro Tools for example. Really miss the clean visual workflow in Pro Tools and Logic. Of course I find S1 more efficient over all, thats why I use it, but this is a big annoyance.

It looks sooooo messy in S1 with all the grayish material being visible through the events that you actually listen to. I never ever benefit from these visual overlaps, but it constantly makes the recording sessions and songwriting sessions look like a cluttered mess. It's hard to convince others to switch to S1 when this (and lots of other visual primitive stuff) makes this daw looks so unrefined and  make sessions cluttered with useless extra info.

Makes editing more time-consuming and messes up the edits sometimes also. This thing just take more time in songwriting is VERY DISTRACTING from a fast workflow.

I would like it to be completely of for all new songs.

Please fix an option to avoid all the visual overlaps!

Answer 3

I come from Logic Pro X and I didn't know that S1 does not have the "no overlap" option, not really happy about it but I really hope PreSonus will add this feature soon!

Thanks

Answer 4

This shouldn't be open for vote Presonus. This is a most! It's like having a text edit software that doesn't have copy and paste option. Please include this on your next update. It has been asked many times, there is another request of the same function on this forum with more than 140 votes. What are you waitting for?

Answer 5

There are three other feature requests that are all basically this same thing. Please upvote all of them!!

Answer 6

And it's not just to be tidy, it makes the editing workflow kind of Disfunctional so often. For me it turns an NLE process (non Linear editor) into a LE, which is like working with film or tape (except for the undo function), which is hugely frustrating. There should be options!
