[Audacity-devel] Doing a two track effect

[Vince B. <vi...@bu...>]

I just signed up with this developer's list since I'm ready to implement the
feature enhancement I requested on 12/29/2001 "Amplitude, Dynamics
Processing".  I call the algorithm I developed iAVC (integer Automatic
Volume Control).  I use the algorithm to reduce the dynamic range of my
recordings, amplifying the quiet sections so I can hear them better when
listening in my car.

I downloaded the Audacity source Monday night and coerced it into
compiling - with the help of the posts to the developer's list.

I need to process both tracks at once, so it looks like my class cannot
derive from EffectSimpleMono meaning I need to derive from Effect directly.

My algorithm has a number of configuration settings which will make for a
complicated Dialog. I have extensive MFC GUI experience and some Java GUI
development so I hope to get an initial version working fairly soon.  Most
of my recent experience is with Windows, but I do have a Linux system and
hope to learn enough so I can also test my work under Linux.

I'm making my iAVC algorithm available under LGPL license.  I'd like to
verify that this OK with the Audacity team and see if you want me to put my
algorithm (basically 3 files) in a separate directory under lib-src.  The
class derived from Effect will go into the src/effects directory, of course,
and be under the Audacity license.

I'm all ears to any advice you want to pass on.  I'm looking forward to
working with on this project.
