Is it possible you can add the count off in Stereo? The reason is the count-off it’s loud and annoying. I can turn it down, but with the house being full, the count is almost impossible to hear; by having it left or right, I can just put the left or Right on the monitors and leave the house muted for the count. Second I Still like to see the first turnaround green turn into yellow and end red, as it is now our faces. It looks like it’s glued to the screen; otherwise, it’s a fantastic piece of software. I love it.
It sounds like you’re using Strum Machine as a performance tool. Just write an Intro of 4 bars and turn off the count. It would sound better.
The plan is to eventually (sometime in 2025) bring the count-in volume setting into the mixer alongside the rest of the instruments. That will also give it a pan control, so you’ll be able to put it in one channel only. (Interesting use-case there that I never would have thought of!)
Also, yes, better visual indication of “last time” is on the roadmap!
