Layer Mobility

[ThrobbyRobby]

I would like to be able to copy layers from one riff to another! The ability to drag and drop a layer from one riff to another. In duplicating riffs and adding layers to the dupes, I sometimes create a layer that I want in the other copies of the riff. I'm currently having to record the part over in each duplicated riff. It's hard for me to do because my best licks are usually by accident! Just a suggestion for V3 maybe.

I've mentioned this before, and they've thought it about before. The question is more about the rules of engagement really. If you have a 4/4 6 bar riff at 120bpm and a 4/4 8 bar riff at 140bpm, who wins? Do you shorten the longer riff or keep looping the shorter riff?

My take on it is, the riff your dragging the layer into is the master riff. Everything you bring into it must conform to the master riff. So if it's too long, it gets cut off at the end. If it's too short, it loops again, or maybe ends, and then starts at the 1.

Good point, but I find I need it most just in the duplicated riffs that, being duplicates, have the same length, tempo and time signature. I'd also like to thank you for your replies to our questions and help with our problems. You've been quite helpful. I love my Line 6 hardware, but I think they market some items that don't live up to what I've come to expect from them. I bought the BassPod XT Live expecting it to be the bass version of PodXT Live. Then I found it wasn't compatible with gearbox or the L6 version of Riffworks. After much correspondence with L6's customer service, they suggested I return the unit or exchange it for the POD XT Live. Why would they put a BassPOD unit on the market, at the same price as the POD XT live, with less than half the functionality? And, adding to my disappointment, they offered the bass expansion pack just after I purchased the BassPod! I took their advice, sold the unit, and purchased the "real" POD XT Live and added the bass expansion pak. Now I'm totally happy! This unit is real L6 technology, the best. I also own the guitar port, and a Flextone II HD halfstack that is hands down the best amp I've ever played through.
Can you shed any light on the apparent split between Sonoma and L6? I puchased Riffworks L6 edition and my first drum sessions from the L6 site. Then L6 quit selling the drum sessions. Now, they're bundling a different recording software with their product. Whats up? Riffworks is the only recording software I want to use, hope you can use your influence to point L6 back in the right direction. I want compatability between the two companies products. I also miss the "one stop shop" at L6 for drummers and Sonoma products. Ooop's gotta go now, and work on my version of "Ramblin Man".
Thanks again HBursk.

I wish I had more to do with descisions like those. When I'm at the corporate office, once every few months, I try to involve myself with product development and what's going on there, but it doesn't prove to be so successful.

I will certainly let them know your thoughts on the products.

Thanks. That's why you're the Emperor!
