[LAU] A defence of the straight line

Warning: I've been thinking! There seems to be a trend in recent years for everything to be represented in various curves. They are very pretty and (possibly) technically more correct, but is that what the user wants? Take a simple amplitude envelope for example, showing intensity V time. Now that is often shown as a logarithmic curve, but the whole idea behind such a curve was to give our ears a *linear* impression of intensity change, so why do we now give our ears one impression but our eyes something completely different? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
