Cool stuff Tim! I haven't had time to test yet, you hinted that the theme/style problems may have been overcome? Is it maybe time to move to the dark theme as standard then? :)
I've actually done quite a bit of recording last week (first time in a year pretty much...) and new MusE worked pretty good for me. As always there are some annoyances that I should try to bring up and/or fix myself. Right now the only one I remember though is the new monitoring. I record lots and lots of audio tracks, all of them connected to the same audio-in, generally a microphone. Having all these tracks turning on monitoring means the input signal (and with that, the noise) is multiplied with each track. I find myself turning off monitoring on all but the one that I'm recording on, which in practice means it's actually much more cumbersome to record new tracks now, as there is no automatic monitoring turned on. It strikes me while writing this that maybe the monitor for audio should be on the input track instead of the wave tracks? Though that means any effects affecting the sound on the tracks won't be heard while recording. Maybe if the monitor on the audio input is the one turned on by default, to easily get input sound but then having monitors on all wave tracks that are tri-state like I outlined before, 1. off, 2. monitor-while-rec (like it used to work), 3. monitor-on. Though monitoring in these different stages might be confusing for users also.. Hard to get a solution good for all scenarios I guess.. 2017-03-17 1:50 GMT+01:00 Tim <termt...@rogers.com>: > Here are some snapshots of the new icons in action. > > I took a philosophy that, especially in the mixer, > the button icons should be unobtrusive and dull - > they should not distract the user until the button > is on or 'active'. > When they are off or 'inactive', the dull colour means > 'all is OK normal, nothing to be alerted to'. > Thus the user is 'alerted' when the icons 'come alive' > with colour. > > Three snapshots: With Normal, Dark, and Ardour stylesheets applied. > Here you can see the 'proxy' soloing and newly added 'proxy' muting. > > https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcjtij2cbxqyqpd/snapshot_new_ > icons_ardour.jpeg?dl=0 > > https://www.dropbox.com/s/4oe8lo0gbnis5a0/snapshot_new_ > icons_dark.jpeg?dl=0 > > https://www.dropbox.com/s/mv0dk3z7m66vsnm/snapshot_new_ > icons_normal.jpeg?dl=0 > > Tim. > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Lmuse-developer mailing list > lmuse-develo...@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmuse-developer > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Lmuse-user mailing list Lmuse-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmuse-user
