Sorting CHUNKS?

Post by JLEpperson »

I use DP8 for live performance. I have approx 90 songs. All are in the Chunks window and it is a nightmare setting up set lists. Is there a way to sort, search, use keys to move chunks up and down, and save setlists? Will anything change in DP9 pertaining to this?
Thanks

I don't think you can do that...

Let MOTU know about your situation, so they may implement it at some point.

I would like to be able to sort my chunks...

Easy.

From the Project menu, select "Chunks" or just press shift+C. Drag the chunk names up and down to rearrange in any order you like.
