You are correct about the ghost notes, but what we were talking about was the ghost clips or cloned clips (midi or audio). The ghost/cloned clips are any clips (midi or audio) that you can copy and paste. They are linked to one clip and when you change any midi or audio data inside that clips, it reflects on all other cloned clips.That's not my understanding of what ghost notes are. I thought they were notes from other parts that display in your PR window while you are working on another part. What you described is the "pattern" workflow in Studio One.Yes, most DAWs have multiple midi tracks view. However, shared/ghost/cloned clips has its use that when you want to edit all of them, you edit just one because they are ghost (linked) copies to each other which can be very handy if you want your repetitive part to be edited:
Yes, patterns are the same but more organized midi clips. So, in FL Studio you can of course repeat the patterns but you can 'disconnect' the repetitions from the original so when you edit one of them, it doesn't reflect on the other (the same in S1).
In Ableton Live there is no cloned clips, so when you copy and paste the same clip, all are not connected to each other. Personally, I like them like this so I can edit what I want without reflecting the changes in other clips. I don't remember if Cubase has it or not because I really don't use this feature.
Ghost notes is another feature but completely different usage. It means notes of multiple midi tracks in the same piano roll. Ableton Live has that and I think now all of the DAWs I know of as well. I use this feature from time to time especially when I want to match or inspect the relation between the chords and melody. Also, important for me to lay the bass notes so it doesn't clash a lot with the kick drum for example. Although, ideally, I should depend on my ears, but my ears are not enough to judge! I don't have a good musical ears!
