Re: [Audacity-devel] Classic Filters status

Norm,
one of the things that you really need to do to obtain support forthe inclusion of this effect of yours is to actively engage with thedocumentation for it in the Manual.  This will not necessarilyguarantee its acceptance into the code bas but it would improveits chances.  
A couple of the Manual authors have made efforts to documentthe functionality but to some extent are flying blind.  It needs inputfrom someone who really understands the whys and whereforesof the effect - particularly the "whys" as in what would I use thisfor - why would I prefer it over other similar effects in Audacity
See this page for the draft documentation:http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Classic_FiltersIt is in the draft alpha manual but is effectively an orphan page asthe links to it are currently commented out.
In order to engage with that page you would need to apply for an editors account on the Manual. There is a link on the front page of the Manual for that.  
Alternatively you could just supply a draft of an update to that page and we can try to implement the changes fir you - but that wouldbe harder work for both parties.  And you would still have to be involvedin the editorial page reviewing any changes.
Hope that helps,
Peter Sampson

Probably the biggest use would be for modelling hardware or software that
uses Chebyshev filters (modelling is a topic of considerable research these
days). Other reasons for selecting Chebyshev over Butterworth would include
reducing the worst-case group delay by being able to use a lower filter
order to meet a specified magnitude response, and for designing your own
hardware-based or DSP-based filters, in which filter order is a significant
cost factor.
