Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

OK, but this is only consensus of the small group discussing it here. My concern was about getting a consensus among others (mostly developers). For that purpose I thought a Spectral Selection Tool could be too controversial. I'm sorry but I don't buy this either ... This may right now only be a &q...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

If it was down to me, short term, I would have a Spectral Selection button in Edit Toolbar that turned Spectral Selection on and off, and get rid of the Spectral Selection checkboxes. Both Peter and I have previously argued in favour of this. I still agree that it looks like a big improvement to wh...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

As I restated them three days ago... I'm an old bloke, I forget stuff ;) and I get tired of goung back and re-reading this long thread ... First P2. "Enabling Spectral Selection Toolbar does not enable Spectral Selection". You (Peter) opposed that P2. And I'm still very much against that ...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

Gale,

this thread has become long and confusing (I can't remember what I "actively opposed") ...

Perhaps you could write down here what it is that you would like to post as P2s and then we can continue the discussion from there.

Peter

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

If it was down to me, long term, I would have Spectral Selection always on in Spectrogram view... I would be reasonably happy with that if and only if spectral selections were only available in a spectral view and were removed (changed to a strictly temporal selection) if and when the user switched...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

I understood that you often look at Spectrogram view to see clicks then delete the entire selected click (rather than filter just the click out of the selection). I used to, but only occasionally and never since Koz steered me to the magic of Brian Davies' Click Repair ... So, is the other suggesti...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

The real task will be getting it past Paul, I guess. I'm sorry but I just dont buy that :evil: I know this is a do-ocracy and all that - and that Paul made the initial do-ocratic implementation - BUT he does not own it. We all share ownership of this project, it reflects on all of us. And one of ou...

Re: USB turntables excessive output

My ION ittUSB USB record deck did have a gain control - but in a very unergonomic place - it was a small knurled knob underneath at the back. The deck gave very poor results though as the platter was far too light, yielding very noticeable amounts of wow&flutter. So I ditched in favour of rercyc...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

You (Peter) will have to decide if you are backing Steve's idea for a special tool to draw time-with-frequency selections. I'm not really the right person to ask about this as such a tool (or any spectral editing come to that) will most likely never be used by me - so I don't really have a dog in t...

Re: 2.1.2 weirdness with spectral selection

I assume you agree it's a mess, right? Yes. i don't think it should have gone out of the door as it is. +1 to that Which is a great pity as I'm sure the underlying technology is very useful to some folk (there are parallels here with scrubbing) It does not show us in a good light to ship such half-...
