It would be very useful to have an ‘undo’ feature, which just backed out the last action. Even if it was just a ‘fader restore’ it would be a help - so many times I’ve moved a fader and realised I was on the wrong send e.g. on a monitor mix instead of main mix. But it would be very handy to have an ‘oops’ option as does most software.
Definitely… sometimes when a quick change is needed, it’s easy to hit the wrong track.
Since everyone has probably been in the wrong layer at some point and wished for such a “magic button”, I can understand your seemingly simple wish.
But when I first thought about it, I quickly realized that it’s not as simple as one might think.
Because how would you specify what you mean by “last action”?
To stick with your example, is that, in your eyes, just switching back to the other mix and undoing all the changes you made there?
But you deliberately selected that mix beforehand to change something in it?
How is “Oops” supposed to know what you wanted to do there and what you accidentally did afterwards?
Or do you want “Oops” with a list of steps?
But what should be in this list if you’ve changed a fader three times in a row by a few dB and, in turn, changed several parameters of an EQ – is that one action or several?
In a normal live situation, you wouldn’t even know anymore how many times you would have to press “Oops”.
So I think the whole thing isn’t quite as simple as it seems at first glance.
But perhaps you’ve also thought about it and have a concept ready that will dispel my doubts …
It would simply be the last action - any change. So if I had gone to processing and adjusted the EQ three times it would just be the last change. Not complicated, though I guess you could keep going “backwards” in a similar way as many applications.
