Bah! Humbug!! :) > What worries me was the extra cpu usage, That’s certainly a factor, but not the primary one in my view. Unix design history has a very strong tradition of building tools that focus on doing one thing well and then allowing those tools to interoperate, rather than monster monoliths that try to be all things to all people. This preference turns out to have all kinds of side benefits, not the least being code with lower defect rates (bugs) because it allows global code complexity to be held to a minimum. This is a tradition that I take very seriously when extending Rivendell. Thus, the first question I ask when looking to add any particular feature is “does it *have* to be in Rivendell, or is there another place in the toolchain where this would be better implemented”? I think the answer in this case is clear: pitch alteration belongs in the production room, not the air chain. > PS, I am still lobbying for a "cold start switch"! Isn’t that that button marked ‘RESET’ on this box next to me? :) Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
