So I played around with the code today, and I'm realizing there's a fundamental problem with vinyl that makes the waveform display impossible to perfect: it's not possible to tell the difference between touching the vinyl to adjust sync (should not stretch waveform) and adjusting the pitch control to change speed (should stretch waveform). I can't come up with an algorithm that is subtle enough to stretch the waveform when the dj adjusts the pitch control, but sensitive enough that it keeps the waveform the same size when the dj is adjusting sync. I welcome anyone else to try to come up with a good algorithm, but I don't think it's possible. So, in light of that conclusion, I'm just going to keep the "rubber-banding" effect the way it is. It think it's more important to have the bpm be reported often and accurately and have the waveform change size based on the pitch control.
