Giada allows for overwriting existing sample channels
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2018 4:39 pm
So I've got some sample channels, all populated with some recorded samples.
No matter which one I arm, when I press global record button, I get the message that there are no channels ready to be recorded to. That's fine.
However, if I create a new, empty sample channel, and arm it along with other, already populated channels, the recording process will begin on all armed channels, populated or not, and overwrite their content.
So I see an inconsistency here, but I'm not sure what was the intended behavior. Personally I got pissed off several times discovering I've just overwritten a channel I didn't want to overwrite.
I think that the easiest solution to that problem is:
a) by default disable channel arm after recording, and
b) disable and gray out the arm button on channels that cannot be armed for recording anyway (until they are "free channel"ed).
OR
a) by default disable channel arm after recording, and
b) simply let the populated sample channel to be armed and overwritten.
What do you think?
