| Summary | 0008998: Feature request: Mixer Scenes as a sound design tool and automation helper | ||||
| Description | As is, Mixer scenes are immensely useful for comparing mixes. They could turn into a great sound-design tool as well with (some of) these additions: - Add a horizontal cross-fade slider with a drop-down menus on either side to select a scene. - Add a smoothing time parameter to the crossfade - Allow the above 4 controls to be automateable - Add quantize options to these automations, like the ones in the Cue window. I realize that implementing all of the above would need some non trivial architecture and design decisions and would be a lot of work in general. A way to get 80% of the utility for 2% of the work would be to add a smoothing time parameter that affects any automation caused by Mixer Scenes. | ||||

Long term the idea is to place recall markers on the timeline, or associate a given range on the timeline with a scene. cross-fades are already prepared, there is no architectural change needed. The problem is, as usual, policy and GUI. but rather than automatable VCA like meta-controls for the fade, we envisage a console like integration. |

The hard part here is "how to interpolate" when cross-fading. e.g. Mute (or any boolean automation) cannot be interpolated. For gain it could be an equal amplitude or equal power fade. EQ frequency log or linear.. etc |

Great to hear that you are thinking in a similar direction! > The hard part here is "how to interpolate" when cross-fading I guess the only thing a DAW can do is look if a parameter has metadata that says it is log or bool or something and assume lin interpolation otherwise, right? At least some plugin formats *do* expose this metadata, right? |
