Maybe the sample editor could be just a tad less... tedious?
Seriously, I have severe difficulty trying to do stuff in the sample editor, simply because of lack of features and stuff. So here's what you should have:
Amplification, Normalization, Fade In, Fade Out, Stereo Widen, Insert Silence, Trim Trailing and Leading Silence, Resample (downsample/upsample one octave as well), chiptune-wave drawing ( ft2 feature of course ), Combine two Samples (mix), EQ
* When dealing with loop points, maybe you could have it snap to zero-crossings. Also, try and adjust loop points to avoid clicks in the sound (could be a toggled option)
* Cut/copy/paste is good, but being able to paste stuff in the middle of the sample is even better. Being able to insert-mix a sample in the middle is pwesome
I'm just thinking that I shouldn't have to export the sample from the song, edit it in Cool Edit, then bring it back in, and do that for a ton of the samples... kind of a waste of time, especially for a sample editor that has such potential. The Instrument Editor is great though, I think that should stay a bit more how it currently is |

The only thing I need is undo, but I need that with all madtracker's functions actualy
All the FX stuff you want can be done with VST's, and the insert silence, stretch and that kind of stuff can easaly be done with the x9 xxxx command...

Strangely, I haven't learned MT2's specialized effects yet, so I probably wouldn't have known this was possible
Anyone got a list of these effects, btw? |

There is Normalisation already. Plus, if you keep your samples "on disk" you won't have to export / import them. |

Yeah, normalization is already there, but why leave it from the list
Something that works just as easily as the FT2 editor would be great for me, with the addition of windows shortcuts for cut/copy/paste though. Oh yeah, and undo is good to have too, I wasn't aware it was missing... |

i agree with the undo feature which would be awesome!! the rest - well it's too easy to copy/paste between MT and your favourite wave editor, so it's not a big deal then.. ??

To be able to slice and slap pieces onto the sample any place I want them would eliminate the need for an external editor
(and does MT really copy the stuff to the clipboard so I can paste it in Cool Edit?!) |

I agree with mikx. If all of these features are put into MT it would take months to get them working. And when they work they would be useless compared to the specialized programmes.
An undo feature would be great indeed though.

everything that has been said already. undo would be ok apart from the fact that I sometime become a bit overconfident when the function is present and screw things up beyond the point of no return; so I might as well stick to saving often anyway. however, sample drawing... now that I would dance around happy, happy, happy to have back. drawn modules pwn (oh the memories).

if anything the wave editor needs a better sampler, if I create a wave in an empty instrument I gotta go through all the nonsence steps just to get it to play, like increase the instrument volume of the sample when that should already be up. and place it inside the instrument I created when It should already be there. and its the only reason why I use goldwave. cause its easier to record and save the file and load it up in madtracker then it is to record in madtracker and do all the steps to make the sample work.
that and you cannot record while the song is playing, that really really really sucks, and is honestly a huge fault in making madtracker a stand alone program. yes in general it is a stand alone but not when you have the easiest arranger on the planet right in front of you and half the features needed to make it the most productive. but still its a great product and love it regardless if i have to use goldwave or not.
