Rotation 90° clockwise
See here:
I mean, you put up a feature request and then link a video where the opening sentence is “Purely only for looks. It is not practical for anything”.
You see how this looks from here?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Robin actually implements this, being who he is, but honestly I hope he doesn’t waste his time on it and tackles things that actually make a difference and are requested with a more thoughtful approach first.
seriously, @Marc_von_Bredow you spit-ball a new idea of your thoughts about “improvements” daily…this one looks like a joke for sure. You could get this just by switching freq scale to horizontal and time to vertical…but to what end?
I’m with @henrique_staino
the little things that could ramp up production for NR and levelling are what I’ve been asking for in SL
that said, I do kinda like your contrast idea…but isn’t it already there with the brightness tools? I guess we’d need a control for black level?
I need to do some work!
→ A 90° change is indeed a switch of axes, but not an arbitrary(!) angle.
→ The brightness tool just works for the visual appearance. It would indeed be cool, if it would change the actual spectrum accordingly, which it does not (and for this, it is not intended to do so, I guess).
→ Sure, not everyone uses every feature. But some do and some find use in it.
Here is a usecase for 180° rotation and vertical reflektion (backwards in time): Switch of noise floor from low to high frequencies.
Sennheiser MKH 8020 has unequal noisefloor, as can be seen here clearly:
Compare with Earthworks M50, which has more noise, but is more equally distributed through the frequencies
Now, think about switching the noisefloor of the MKH 8020 (2kHz to 70kHz).
those mics plugged into which recording device?
in an anechoic chamber?
are those mic examples from identical placements in the exact same recording space under exacting conditions? Or do you see those NF residents is every recording?
I mean, I don’t have many mics…but in my office/ studio I have searched the room for the best spot in the room for recording acoustic guitar…eventually I found a good spot with Rode K2…for what you are talking about I’d like to know more about those mic placements and their environs
F8N?
NF on these Zooms F8 are around -80dB IMS
I guess if your recordings are 32bit float, that is inconsequential
still, your background noise and EMF interference could be different every day…every hour no?
so, I guess you always see those specific NF characteristics?
I seldom get studio quality sound work;
most of my work is on-location
and the noise floor is far too full of ambient racket
than one sees in a lab environ
I’m not worried…it’s just that if you are going to tie those specific NF profiles to those specific mics…you need recordings from more than one location, don’t you?
Further, you’d need to test a number of identical mics
Hey, don’t get me wrong here, I cherish these gear talk geek deep dives
