I’ve become very accustomed to recording samples quickly in pattern mode by pressing:
SHIFT+ALT+R (opens sample recorder)
ENTER (arms recording on play)
SPACE BAR (starts recording)
Step 3 doesn’t seem to work for me anymore without clicking outside the sample recorder window first.
Did it change in the new version or it’s something in my settings? I really enjoyed not having to reach for the mouse every time.
If you don’t mind using a tool, I made TapeDeck to work around some of my frustrations with sample recording. Among other things, it can start playback and recording at the same time. It may or may not suit you depending on what kind of recording you’re doing, but I’m open to suggestions if anything’s lacking.
Looks like a great tool, per-track settings and autoseek by default are really nice features to have!
In my situation though I guess just clicking on the play button would be quicker.
