pages

I love the page feature, but how can I add more pages? I use them for INTRO - VERSE - CHORUS etc.

Yes, the Play Page Order: 1,1,2,1,2,2 will play Verse, Verse, Chorus,Verse, Chorus, Chorus

If you need more than 5 pages, let us know - we may add more pages, but our thought was that 5 should work to cover intro, verse, chorus, bridge and ending - 5 pages.

The mixer can change with each new page. Try changing the drums (or any instrument) on a page. If you do not specify a Play Page Order, then the current page will play and repeat - this is good for working out the mix on each page - then type your Play Page Order and hear it all together.

Yes more pages would be great. Here is why... If I write an 8 bar bridge using different instruments for that page, I cannot continue using that page for my next verse or chorus, because I want to go back to my original verse or chorus instruments. Thus I lose a page for an 8 bar bridge.

Does this make sense?

I agree that more pages are a good thing.  It allows you to enhance the mix as the song goes on, as well.  V1, basic instruments,  V2,  More Instruments, Bridge Full Instruments, V3 Full Instruments.

Unless its a big deal, I think more pages (8, maybe) would be a great thing.

This would easily be the biggest improvement for least work, IMO. Though the 5 'pages' is forcing me to be a little more creative with what I have, I could easily use many more, even on my fairly basically structured songs. 5 is stifling.

Let's take one example: say you wanted a line of a song that is 4 bars long to end in with a drum fill. You can't do that normally because each bar on a page is the same loop, albeit in different chords. However, you could make page 1 three bars of drum A, and page 2 one bar of drum B, leaving the rest of the instruments the same on each page.

As you can see, having many pages means not only more complex structures, it also opens up new possibilities.
