N-point editing comes up a lot. i (and others) have argued (in my
opinion quite successfully) that four point editing is a relic of an
older workflow. others who have used 2, 3 and 4 point editing a lot on
other systems have argued back. nobody has been persuaded to change
their minds, and clearly nobody with the strong feelings in favor of
it has been motivated thus far to implement it.
Then tell me how to do the following:
replace a range A-B by another one C-D, with user controllable
short xfades at the transitions, and so that everything to the
right of B (which may mean disjoint regions) moves as required
to make space for C-D. On all tracks, or some selected ones.
With the option to listen to each side of a transition separately,
and ajust it, without having to move away the other side.
actually, i think i can speak clearly for carl and
myself (the two
most active current developers; possibly most of the others too) when
i say that we are focussed on the feedback that we get from people who
repeatedly engage with us using the communication channels that we
find most convenient for this work. is that perfect? no. but its the
way things work out, at least for the last several years. the price of
entry into the exclusive club that is #ardour is simply time, nothing
more (or less).
I don't have the time to hang out in chat room all day. Fortunately
I also have other things to do. You can of course choose to ignore
this list and others, and emails, but using these are a far better
use of my (or anybody's) time.
if you can live with VBAP, this may interest you:
I'm generally not interested in VBAP. I provides the worst surround
possible, even worse than most 5.1 panners. And in those rare cases where
it would be a good solution, I can derive the required signals from a more
universal encoding.
