So here’s a thing I do, and maybe it’s just me and this is totally bs, but I tend to stick a bandpass filter on the master out and sweep it to look for trouble peaks, or identify which track is contributing the most to something I want to cut. It’s pretty frustrating to be confined, mouse resolution wise, to the little slider on the filter effect, with eyes on the master spectrum.
I keep thinking it’d be great to ctrl+click+drag on the master spectrum to inspect the frequency the cursor is pointing at, momentarily, perhaps with Y axis for Q and X for frequency. Might even be neat as a live element given some crossfade. Thoughts?
The VSTs already exist, but I quit VSTs. (DMG Equick?)
I don’t want to complicate my life with external apps, stuff like this helps Renoise be the beginning and end to the production process, which is great.
Or if you just want finer control, you could run a Meta Mixer to the frequency and set the weights to something like 100/10/1, so you have coarse, medium, and fine adjustment sliders. Just remember to set the second and third ones to 50% before you go sweeping so you can use them to adjust down as well as up.
I would vote for higher resolution on the mouse control side of native filters though. Comb Filter is no exception. How about just Ctrl+Click for finegrained movement?
I do that all the time! I’ve never used an XY device for it before though. That’s nifty. Come to think of it, I’ve never used the XY device for anything. Snap.
