Audio Browsing Quality Of Life
In order for this program to be powerful for browsing audio samples in particular. One should be able to see the waveform preview and click on a part of the wave form to hear a preview.
(The video I have attached is of FL Studio's built in file explorer, but this feature is standard in Ableton and many other DAW's and video editing software.)
Every time I Shift+Click on the waveform, it plays the file from where i just clicked.
I like to search through sample library's, and many of them are completely unorganized and have 8+ samples stored in each audio file. So I don't really know what's in the file until I've opened it up and listened to the whole thing, which is a headache on windows file explorer, because you need to open up VLC or media player to listen to it.
Recently I have been experimenting with using alternative DAW's for an alternative workflow experience, but using file explorer for browsing samples sucks. So I just end up having FL Studio open anyway, which defeats the purpose of trying to take a break from FL Studio.
The ability to tag and browse samples and preview specific sections of them would be incredibly powerful for any musician and video editor.
