Hi, I don't know whether this is old news but interesting anyway: a mixing interface in which you handle the pan and gain settings by placing "balls" that represent the instruments (or tracks from a recorder) in a 3D space. Here is the site with samples: http://www.globerecording.com/book/mixes/index.html I think this is interesting as you always do that when mixing - usually just inside your hear. Having something like this for Linux would be great. Either as a stand-alone Jack aware mixing interface or as an alternate mixing UI for Ardour for example. In the first version you'd just assign instrument names for incoming Jack ports or combinations of them and place them in the 3D space. The output would be summed as a stereo (or 5.1 or...) stream into the outputs of this application. The second version would just be an alternate UI for adjusting the gain, pan and plugin automation parameters in Ardour. When placing instruments in the 3D space you'd probably need to do some EQ, multi-band compression and phase changes. Anyway - this should be rather trivial to do given that there are good LADSPA plugins for the job already. Has anyone thought of or planned creating something like this? I thought I could do it myself - I just need to learn programming in general (starting from zero) and audio + 3D in particular. :) Br, -Jorma __ Sano ei kuukausimaksuille.
