Line-In Recording Workflow Suggestion

I’m referring to something in the lines of this: Brainstorming: Audio Tracks

Or even better, a more traditional (horizontal?) arranger, with the faster song navigation and arming buttons that comes with it. I feel it would solve workflow issues when it comes to recording. (Not everyone likes to envision Renoise becoming more of a traditional DAW with pianoroll basically replaced by pattern editor, but that’s what I hope)
