Hi out there -

I was hoping to use FluidWaveform for a project where I could select and playback areas of a waveform, based on the visual information. I don’t believe this functionality is built-in to FluidWaveform and I wanted to confirm that I’m not missing something - and see if there are any potential workarounds.

Thanks!

oh ok, I definitely need to make a best-of-features over the 3 CCEs and add the missing bits everywhere… I’ll add that to the pile of whishful aspirations. In the meantime @areacode you have a solution thanks the @tedmoore
