Radium - a better(?) tracker

Here’s a youtube video of Radium “in action”, playing a song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYGDUpr1uYs

The realtime waveform overview visual changes based on automation are crazy!

I don’t understand the folks here who have (in other threads) repeatedly stated a desire for a visible waveform.

To me it seems like pure novelty.

You have a mixer. You have Scopes. You have the master spectrum. What does a visible waveform provide you?

Or put it this way:

What studio in the history of audio mixing has needed a visible waveform per-channel in order to perform great mix engineering? I’ll tell you: none of them, of course. This has never been a part of mixing, and I’m struggling to understand what benefit it would be today.

I’m open to hearing counter arguments, though! Renoise is, after all, an unconventional approach to making music, so sure, there are new and different possibilities that can and should be explored! It’s just that with this particular, much-requested thing, I simply don’t see the use. Other than eye-candy novelty, what does a visible waveform provide? AFAIC, If you know how to read meters, then you already have all the level info you need.

The one thing I would like is a visual representation of duration of sample triggered. That said, I agree with you about the other ways to visualize, and have gotten by just fine without the in-track visualization.
