No, being able to use different time signatures is essential in music. Time signatures are a basic building block required to define the vast majority of musical styles in the world. All of the western classical and popular music builds its rhythms and structure on a whole collection of time signatures (4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 2/4 are the more common ones). 4/4 is the most common time signature, but at least half of the music that follows any kind of time signature uses different ones. Also, a quite significant number of pieces use changes in time signatures throughout the piece to great effect.
To come back to your analogy, a feature that is akin to a rear parking sensor in a car would be something like retroactive recording.
- royjacobs 5y agoOkay, you just want different things from this MVP than the developers want. That's fine.
- andrewzah 5y agoIf by "different things" you mean "a functioning daw at all". 4/4 is not the only time signature... 3/4, 6/8 are really common too. Not to mention 5/4, 7/4, and others. Not supporting other time signatures is like building a car with wheels but without a steering wheel, and then handwaving criticism as "wanting different features". As a musician/composer it's beyond absurd to have only 4/4 as the option- it's a non-starter. As a software engineer this seems like a fundamental code issue, because it really should be dynamically handled, and time signature is important for other components.
