Oh, I get it....I thought you were talking about some kind of filter to keep people with low self-esteem away from T. 
But I would want this feature to be optional so that any GUI overhead would not bite the bitstream. No clicky recording is my 1st preference. That is the best confidence builder.

perception: the stuff reality is made of.

Yep, this would be very useful.
I could see when a signal is either way too hot or too quiet and respond accordingly.
N.B. I remeber Jules saying that the current audio engine could not do this without a complete re-write, so don't hold your breath!

This is a good idea and one we've heard before. Thanks for the reminder though.

Maybe I remembered wrong, but it did seem that Jules indicated that the way he'd written the audio engine made this real time wav display when recording very difficult to do. Something in the code you know.ttoz wrote:That's simply not possible and doesn't make sense.Tingle wrote:

The moment the information recorded, it's in the past. How can MIDI or WAV information from the immediate past be useful to a recording you're still making? None of it is needed until you press 'stop' and begin editing anyhow.
If it suddenly appeared as a feature without this thread having brought it to my attention, I bet I wouldn't have even notice its appearance.

well lunch, it's useful to the recording you're still making to make sure that it's actually being recorded! 
it may be in the immediate past but hopefully that includes somewhere on your hard drive, and a little wave of what's being recorded would put confidence in your pants to keep going.
not that it bothers me!

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.

I've done midi recordings that were a few minutes long only to find that nothing got recorded. It would be nice to see some indication that things were in fact being recorded.
It's a misery to do an inspired recording and find out that it was never recorded. And you have lost the inspiration.

Hmmm, I wonder if that's the same code that makes Tracktion's realtime timestretching absurdly CPU intensive to the point of being useless.Tingle wrote:Maybe I remembered wrong, but it did seem that Jules indicated that the way he'd written the audio engine made this real time wav display when recording very difficult to do.

Maybe it's time to rewrite that engine.

Lunch:
Tingle quote, "I could see when a signal is either way too hot or too quiet and respond accordingly."
Is this not a good reason?

Yes. That would be why the big input meters were added. Incidentally, if you're reacting to something that's already happened, well, you've missed it.
I personally don't want this, or would like an option to turn it off, as I can't see the benefit in wasting cpu cycles redrawing a wav graphic multiple times a second so you can see a picture of the track you're recording. It strikes me as dancing about architecture.
