to change the numbers.
I like the idea of mapping the audio frequency to a corresponding color frequency
as well... Maybe you could have the numbers or a border around the numbers change
color?
He, yeah, the good old gtk spin button... The problem is there is no
click and move behaviour AFAIK. That'd be great, this requires having
a little button between the up and down arrow, which you press to obtain
the same effect as a knob.
I guess I'm spoiled... I try to do this with everything. {Unfortunately, it doesn't
work with everything} It is a very nice bit of functionality.
But about color scale squares, just imagine how compact it can get : 8
tracks with 4 levels each, that's 32 little square on a gtk drawing
area. I believe white to black would be very efficient, and rolling over
a level or adjusting it, the status bar would get you some numerical
information.
You mean for presets? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Re: [linux-audio-user] Virtual Mixing Desk
Stefan,
that sounds almost like blenders slide buttons .
they basically like that (if it doesn't get mangled):
/\
| 0.800 |
\/
you can:
a: click on the edges to change the value step by step (ctrl+click for
larger steps)
b: click and move your mouse to change the value (limitable with ctrl )
c: shift click to enter a value manually
say anything you want about blenders interface but these buttons rock :D
I like Blender's {Combustion's, Jahshaka's} interface. It's pleasant to look at and
hides a huge amount of functionality in a very small space. I like numbers as well...
they give you actual information rather than an arbitrary relative placement on a
slider or an arbitrary 1 through 1o. Knobs are just a pain in general}
I like the outline view settings in Max as well. {Or emacs's customize view...
Stuff you use a lot is on top... other stuff is easy to get to. Short definitions and
examples are right there for you as you navigate through stuff and you have easy
access to several different searches and help formats}

Olivier,
But about color scale squares, just imagine how compact it can get : 8

I think I've figured out what you mean.
What if you had a larger square with all of the tracks mapped to it... You could
click to insert a level point and slide it across the gradient to set the volume of
some parameter. {a set of frequencies which you could determine in some other box}.
You could map specific frequencies to a specific color and connect all of the dots of
one color together with beziers... {that way you'd actually be changing the volume of
intervening tracks with the bezier {adding points would add specific control.} Maybe
you could drag frequency gridlines from the edges like you do in a vector drawing
program. {Drag them into the square, set the parameters... adjust}
:} Now that I look at this... the gradiant's sort of beside the point. I suppose it
would make a nice indicator.
