Comparing original with changed sound

holz27 · Nov 1st 2012

Hi,

When changing the Sound of a rig i want to compare the old and new sound. Is the New Sound better? I can do this by saving the New Sound under a different rig, then switch between the two rigs. At the end i have to delete one of the two rigs.

It would be much easier to have a switch toggling between original Sound and actual Sound without saving the changed rig. Then i could change the Sound of a rig, compare original and actual sound by toggling between these two. At the end i can store the changes of i like them. If i don't like them i leave the rig without saving changes.

If such a Funktion is already implemented please give me a hint.

Why not. I think it might be smart.

I guess what you want is the undo/redo function, but it isn't implemented yet

Hi!

I had some time ago a similar request in the thread:

http://www.kemper-amps.com/for…ex.php?page=Thread&thread

'E' -- the edit flag paradigm and the rig/snapshot concept

(In case the forum software is still broken after all these months and you get an error, you may try to suppress one instance of the word "forum" in the URL).

Basically, I thought we could use the "snaphots" to go back and forth in various versions of settings for a rig.

Glad to see that someone else is interested in the concept.

Best regards.

Jean-Jacques.

Using snapshots works

Talking about this (and apologizing for hijacking the thread a bit ) I've never had any issue if I select a word in my text and then use the "Insert Link" button from the menu. Might this be a workaround?

Havent tried using snapshots yet. How do you recall them to do a compare?? Thanks Paul

I also use snapshot to compare different sounds to choose from.
I assigned the QUICK button to the snapshots to have a smart access to them, you can do this from System menu' if I remember well...

Thanks a lot for your hints with the snapshot. But is it possible to recall a snapshot during editing of a rig without saving the changes?
And more important, return to the edited rig after leaving the snapshot? And at the end i can decide whether to save the changes of the rig or cancel them?

BTW, i tried to find a description of the snapshot Feature. No success. Only a few aspects in this forum.

You need to snapshot both: original and modified, no need to save it. Then compare and save the one you like

On the other hand, be aware that snapshots and rigs are exactly the same thing (at least when you look in your backups); rigs are kept in the Rigs folder, snapshots in the Snapshots folder. A snapshot of a rig takes exactly the same size as the rig itself, since it is just a copy, with some parameters changed, and a different date. For example, I found that I had about 450 rigs, which is not a big number, but already about 150 snapshots (with often 5 to 20 snapshots of the same rig). The whole thing takes the same size as 600 rigs. So, when you're finish tweaking a rig, you may have to delete all the snapshots you don't need anymore.

Regards.

Jean-Jacques.

^ Hey JJ,

I hope you're taking note of all these interesting suggestions of yours... I am not!
