i think that is the key problem told in one sentence!
(and i have two big monitors with together 2560x1024, but they help nothing against those new concept of covering the trackeditor, the idea behind that big covering insturment editor is just bad.).
the solution would be a additionally old sample instrument window in lower panel with the key functions
volume
panning
tune
and the envelope mini editor would solve that problem. they also could very good live together with the full screen instrument/sample editor.
eidt: oh, i wasnt the first one: Sample/Plugin/Midi-window: Best of both worlds :-)
3.0 design vs 2.8 design:
loading samples for testing in instruments: take longer because of mousekilometers…
adjusting sample properties like volume: take much longer / needs more clicks and have screenchanges
creating a hullcurve for sample: now very frickly and needs more clicks and have screenchanges
for me, which i life by making music, its just live time which i lost. totally unneeded clicks and sreenchanges and focus changes for just one value (smpl volume) -.-
woever above say its now faster to work, is total unbelievable in my eyes, sorry.
also the VST instrument window now noticably hang by activating on my sys.
