Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of a "Next Empty Clip" target option for record actions in Loopy Pro. The goal is to streamline the recording process by allowing users to automatically record into the next available empty clip slot, reducing manual intervention and enhancing workflow efficiency.
Problems
- Manual Clip Selection: Currently, users must manually select an empty clip slot before initiating a recording, which can be cumbersome during live performances or rapid recording sessions.
- Inefficient Workflow: The lack of an automated method to target the next empty clip slows down the creative process, especially when dealing with multiple clips or pages.
- Complex Clip Transfer: Transferring clips between pages or colors requires multiple steps, making it time-consuming and interrupting the creative flow.
Proposed Solution
- Next Empty Clip Target: Introduce an option in record actions to automatically target the next empty clip, either globally or within a specified color group.
- Send to Next Empty Clip Action: Implement an action that allows users to send or duplicate an existing clip to the next empty slot, facilitating quick transfers across pages or colors.
- Customizable Context: Provide settings to define the scope of the "next empty" search, such as limiting it to the current page, color group, or the entire project.
Benefits
- Enhanced Efficiency: Automating the selection of empty clips accelerates the recording process, allowing users to focus more on creativity and performance.
- Improved Live Performance: Reduces the need for manual navigation during live sessions, enabling smoother transitions and loop layering.
- Streamlined Clip Management: Simplifies the process of organizing and transferring clips, making project management more intuitive.

In addition to “record to next empty clip of color/globally” action, need an action to “Send clip to next empty clip of color/globally”.
This will allow the easy transfer of clips from one page to another, which is currently about a 10 tap process (open clip details, tap send button, tap copy, close details, change page, open destination clip details, tap import button, tap clipboard, tap import, close clip details)
With a send to next color action, I could set it as a swipe up and send the audio from one clip to another in one gesture. Ideally, one could choose an option of copy/paste (duplicate) or cut/paste for the action.
