Low priority, also with some in-fighting, but it's there. > There are use cases where auto-adjusting levels on import is useful. Useful, yes. Essential, no.

Especially with music cuts, this old dog with 40+ years background in "show biz" doesn't see how anyone in their right mind could ever even harbor a possibility that each and every cut would NOT be listened to, massaged, and polished to perfection BEFORE being added to the final "ON THE AIR" play-out, whatever that is. To do anything less is negligent. Further, a machine can only do it "more accurately" in an almost criminally negligent sense. ( "almost" because a machine has no perception, no soul, and so can not be criminal, nor negligent ) Yes, the machine will never do 1+1=3, but in the context of human perception, sometimes 1+1 DOES =3 and therefore a machine is completely incapable of any kind of "accuracy" when the result is an entirely artistic perception, and actual hard numbers, with exception of clip, are completely irrelevant. Even with clip, although *I* wouldn't, a producer may want that "sound" for a particular affect, so even clip may be irrelevant. For some things, machines are very well suited. A hammer does a much better job of pounding nails than does your bare hand, but a hammer is a poor choice for caressing a woman. Hammering nails is equivalent to play-out to air. Production is akin to the caress, but much less forgiving. > Anyway, good to hear that is being there eventually. I said it made the wish-list, not the to-do list ! There's a difference. That difference amounts to *if* someone writes the code in a way that doesn't break anything else now existing or planed, it will be considered for inclusion. Otherwise, don't hold your breath. The exception would be $$. There is nothing in the universe that can't be made to happen given enough time, money, or real estate.
