Re: [Audacity-devel] Real-time effects stacks

[Michael C. <mc...@gm...>]

Nice thoughts, LRN.  I think you pretty much summed up the consensus.

However, for reverse effects, as well as effects that greatly alter
the length or continuity of the waveform, I have a different position.
 I agree that it is possible to reverse in stack mode, and the problem
is cool to think about, certainly.

However, I don't think it makes sense to have those type of effects on
as a stack structure for UI purposes.  This is why DAWs have effects
that can be chained and stacked, and effects that can't - not because
it is harder to implement, but because the user expectation of these
stacked effects are "guitar pedal"-like effects that do something with
the waveform directly beneath wherever the cursor is.  Effects that
make significant changes to continuity/structure can break this
expectation.
