I wouldn't say this is a bug. You set the default point shape to something else than linear, so of course from THAT point onward, any new points inserted will use what you selected for default shape.

I would say it is a bug. I think I can see where it is coming from but (from my point of view) these points are not really new so they should keep all their previous attributes.

They are new if they were inserted by Reaper as new edge points, so yeah. Proper solution is not to change default point shape if you want to enter AIs.

Spectral Edit regions do not re-draw dirty regions.



Seems related to tool-tips, but I'm not 100% sure. I can reproduce this reliably on macOS 10.12.5

Spectral Edits are offset too low with respect to the FFT bins displayed in the spectrogram.



Both during movement, and when set in place, the spectral edit box is offset too low relative to the spectrogram display.

This is even more noticeable when increasing region fade frequency.

I understand that lower frequencies, there will be some offset unless you lock the edit box to the bin boundaries, however currently it always offsets too low. It's possible to end up with some 'de-synced' looking positions.

Splitting a media item across a spectral edit box messes up control display.



Note that when I undo... I lose the controls totally.

This is similar to another bug I posted in a pre-release thread.

The unselected points only move when they are at the same time as another point.

Edit: Here's my earlier report: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...3&postcount=49

This is likely when continuous scrolling is enabled, due to various drawing behaviors the spectral edits are not drawn during this. Ideally we should change this to be the controls rather than the edit itself...

The spectrogram displays a preview of the edits -- the actual audio might differ depending on the FFT size selected for the item. Anyway, this is a nitpick.

The spectral edits must be selected in order to show the controls, and when you split the item only one of the edits ends up selected. Same with undo, undo doesn't always preserve the selection, that could be a nitpick.

Improving the display of spectral edit regions during playback, though (the controls will still hide, but the regions will draw correctly).

"Envelope: apply all VCAs from selected tracks to grouped tracks and reset volume/pan/mute" does not work with automation items.

Minor bug:
Mute envelope can have linear shape segments when automation items are used. It should have only square shapes.


Another old bug related to mute envelopes:
After using a mute envelope, the "Set point value..." dialog has only "Square" shape in the drop-down menu. This happens in all envelope types in all projects. You have to restart Reaper to get all shapes back to that drop-down menu.

Re-sizing bug with spectral edits.



Just move the bottom above the top, or the top below the bottom.

It is continuous scrolling.

I suppose I was confused by this because there doesn't appear to be a way to deselect a spectral edit (or all edits). I can only seem to deselect one by selecting another.

However, after a split it's also possible to have controls show for multiple spectral edits at once. Some of them you can never hide, some of the deselect when you select another.

I can post a more detailed video and instructions if necessary.

Ok. As a last bit of information, depending on the Freq Log and Spectral Region Frequency Fade values, the "Edit Box" can be drawn pretty far off in the lower bins.

This is actually somewhat by design, just to prevent too much constraint when using freeform edges rather than rectangles...

Yeah, if you use a higher FFT size (With more resolution in the low bins), then glue the item, you'll see the resulting spectrogram being closer to the edit than the preview is (see above note about preview being an approximation)

Hmm... Glued seems even further off to me. 8192 bin size.



Largely hinges on the use of the Frequency Fade it seems.

Considering it's 2017 with degree level devs-this all seems highly embarrassing-
I thought by 2017 square boxes must be out of fashion.. guess the little black dresses still have a place in all ladies wardrobes.
Is this cockos magic or cockos kerfuffle?
What should 1 'expect' from a modern computer?

I think the "Connect to underlying envelope on: Neither side, Right side, Both sides" preference should be moved to project settings.
Or maybe it should be an independent setting for each AI and the preference controls the default value of that setting for new AIs.

Currently it is very dangerous because changing that preference can easily change how old projects (created using different preference) sound.

I think it should definitely stay global, perhaps with possibility of per-project override.

Is this intended behavior?

Looks like a bug. Normal AI edits don't change the underlying envelope. So, adjusting envelope level in time selection using track control should not change it either.

Also "Envelope: Insert 4 envelope points at time selection" action changes both AI and the underlying envelope. If it's a bug, that should be fixed too.

Yes - but there is another condition involved. It does not happen with all such points.

Interesting - the affected point has to be above the previous point (i.e. not below) AND it does not affect the first occurrence in selection.

In the MIDI editor, when scrolling horizontally back and forth during playback, the play head becomes jumpy or stuck in the same position (for the duration of the scrolling action).

In your gif, you do have a written point behind the AI actually. One on the left and a few on the right.

Not all of the points are being written to the AI, which may be another bug.

I've been experiencing a few bugs with automation items but just got time enough to document them.

1) Rounding issues with automation items:



2) Can't draw or resize automation items when the grid is set to 1/32:



3) Logic when copying/pasting automation items isn't optimal:



In that GIF you can see I'm trying to paste those two items using the action "Paste items/tracks, creating pooled..." and I'm failing at each and every attempt unless I select each item individually or using lasso selection all over the items and not just the labels.

Automation items have a minimum size of 0.1 second. You should still be able to draw or resize items with the grid set lower than this, but the drawing won't start until you have dragged at least 0.1 second and you can't resize below 0.1 second.

Correction:
It affects all unselected points that FOLLOW any of the selected points (except the first one) and share their time position.

Thanks for all the detail! This bug (and hopefully all of the other bug reports in this thread) should be fixed for the next build.

Why do automation items have that limitation? Is there something technical that's preventing you from allowing smaller sizes? 1/32 and 1/64 are very common in EDM music.

Sorry if I'm late to the party, just wanted to chime in regarding what happens to the envelope when an automation item is created over it. I think the discussion showed that there are use cases when you would like to keep existing automation (essentially creating a copy of it inside AI), and there are cases when you would like to remove it (moving the points into the AI). This is similar to audio items - you may want to either copy or move them, depending on the context.

So I think that a setting would not be the best solution - mouse modifiers would.

Confirmed this bug with the VST3 version of the Softube Console 1 plugin.

http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=166558

This is present in 5.40 as well, but since the VST3 interface was just changed in this cycle thought it deserved a mention here.
