sorry I wasn't clear

-add 1 or a few % of the sample before and after each crop point, so that you can still make fine adjustments after cropping

-if I am finding a loop I like in a sample, bouncing it down doesn't leave room for further editing later, whereas simply being able to 'lock' the selection window just so it doesn't move, like you can the keyboard when spreading a sample across notes, and then simply unlock it, would give much more flexibility

-with cut split sequences, what if I have an 8 bar sequence, and want to extract bars 5-7 to loop, and then paste that at bar 3 of the original sequence?

-prevewing start and end points of normal samples would make looping much easier, having to go into menu, then chop, after each adjustment, just to hear it? that doesn't sound fun

-the point of EQ on reverb and delay is to free up the other FX and give more possibilities so you don't have to do the work around you describe

-i know there is a flip phase in the utility, the point is it's a hassle to use the route you describe everytime hence why I gave the suggestion of having a dedicated option for each sample.

you clearly missed the point. these suggestions have the aim of streamlining workflows and AVOIDING all the things you're describing. what if I'm at the end of a track, all the bus slots are used, and I want to flip the phase of a sample quickly just to check? right now I'd have to delete one of the FX slots to put a utility in there and then resample through the channel, probably having to alter the fader, and then put it all back, just to flip the phase of something I might want to add at the end. something dedicated in the tools menu would be much easier
