uiuiui - what a swell of post suddenly out of the blue ! Regrettably I don't use Sweep presently since the disk with the old (and sometimes, always labourously "upgraded") version crashed. Early on I was enthusiastically using Sweep but always waited for (and expected) some improvemets which would make it the tool of preferece to work with; which didn't come about. And this was my wishlist: -- Ergonimical keybindings (or even better, the possibility of individually set them). In one of the threads of the list, the reason for the "hardwired" bindings given was to maintain similarity to a certain widely used Windo$e gear. Sorry, but I found that plain silly; precisely the all-new Sweep could (and should) have made an end to such idiocy even if the latterwas widely established. -- Some clip files handling for a "project", if rudimetary (kind of an ordinary pop-up list with certain standard fields, one line per clip, would suffice.) Maybe this is too specific a demand coming from my primary use of the sound editor for montage, in addition to the very editing. -- A _working_ recorder. I never got Sweep's recorder running; and in any case, its design would be too primitive and would hardly allow precise indication - and thus control - of the source signals. Another salient point with this woukld be the direct integration of source clips into a "project list". [I used to use a nice little stand-alone recorder, YAREC, for this purpose but that one was even more of a PITA to re-install after each system upgrade, as its development had stopped years ago and thus this meant hunting for some obscure dependencies. Another L*x-typical misery. If it had been compiled once as a "static" version it could have lived on forever.] </sigh> -hc |
