OK, just to update on this…
I have spent a bit of time now with the Magic Wand tool… Again, I find the selection tools which have no dependencies on source material are giving me a better result. Selection Brush, Rectangular, Elliptical, Time, & Freq Range, Lasso, Poly, Transfer I’m getting great results with those. And all my editing is after running Unmix Noisy Speech (which renders incredible isolation work I’d say is impossible for a single human to perform). Then clean everything up/ cover with clone tool and sometimes heal.
The selection tools with some automated behaviours Magic Wand, Freq & Harm, Transient I have found foibles and just prefer the free form of the other tools to these. Magic Wand I find to wander off into the ether of amplitude…another tool I find me needing to undo as much as it selects.
What would really enhance with Selection Brush and Transfer would be some form (sq or rnd), size, aspect ratio, hardness and transfer percentage presets for the selection area of Brush and Transfer as a great deal of time is spent adjusting those sliders when editing.
SL11 is a deep pool full of wonderful capability.
