[Partly Done 2.8] Just A Thought For The Master Spectrum View

[In-Fluence (Brawny)]

Yes please!

With on/off solution +1

but 3 modes:

1. Show all spectrums
2. Show selected track’s spectrum
3. Show spectrums of selected track and master channel

So basically my idea is that there would be the option to view the master spectrum as colour-coded elements from the individual tracks. This would potentially make mixing easier as you can instantly see which frequencies are being used by which sounds. It also gives a bit more meaning to having the new track colours.

Obviously there would be some sort of switch or maybe a completely new tab for this (which i haven’t included in the mock). Hope you like

Especially for use in mixing bass/drums like Ledger pointed out.

Also, would be handy to be able to:

Change the decay
Set the peak freeze delay/on/off/permanent
Adjust the thickness of the lines / filled/unfilled

Great idea!

[vadarfone]

I agree with this too. Great idea.

I would love to know that I can rely 100% on the built in scopes. They seem to have got better, but I am still not sure about them.

Any improvements like this from me are very welcome.

[wahrk]

This sounds awesome!

It’d also be nice to adjust the scale, FFT, etc of the spectrum analyzer as well.

@vV

I know one thing that might make sense is a peak freezer that freezes the peak-frame measured (perhaps with sequence, pattern and row position)

+1 as well as for “colour-coded elements from the individual tracks” (quoted from original poster). Every time I overhaul my workflow, this type of needed metering pops up.

If cpu is a problem, then limit the amount of tracks that can be displayed ? and as vV pointed out, a snapshot at a particular point in time would be great to see options that in my humble opinion, is not always possible with hearing something.

Example: a slightly filtered square wave kick at an absolute length of 0.8100 seconds, 35721 samples, 3/16th notes, morphing into an FM based kick. What type of snare will I build now ? …Oh look, I have some spectral space that’s a perfect fit for that spectral snapshot I took of that metal truck that Batman pulled upside down with his Batpod. Maybe I will compose a short a nondestructive clip based on that.

It paves a different workflow for the user to walk on. The user can stay in Wonderland, or see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

For me the use of this would be mixing bass drum with bass as an example. You simply solo these two tracks and you have instant frequency reference, ready coloured for you. Gliss EQ can do this with up to 4 coloured bands but takes a bit of set up first.

There are other features that would improve the spectrum view further but this is a step in the right direction IMO.

I also see this feature is requested as an option so could be switched off when desired.

I’m considering on getting Gliss EQ. I already have Schope (Stillwell) and Span, but because Renoise can’t receive, the routing functions that Schope and Span offers becomes somewhat not useable. I don’t want to duplicate the tracks then pan them just to see multi-track spectrums either.

I’m curious about setting Gliss EQ with Renoise. From what I understand, a user can send each spectral instance to another instance, and doesn’t rely on the host for routing ? I tried Multi Inspector (Vertex DSP) back then, and it too works per instance.

[Ortac (Renonquet)]

Nice to see that my idea has been used in the new release.

You can ask for 20% of the profit now, right?

[Ortac (Renonquet)]

I don’t see why not.
