SuperVision frequency and channel solo/listen utilities

It would be very useful if there were different ‘Listen’ amenities for some of the different modules.

For example, SPAN, one of the industry standard analyzers - allows you to ctrl+alt+click in the graph giving you a narrow notch pass filter which you can also then mousewheel the Q/width of.

^ In the image:

  • White Lines represent “single band” or narrow notch listen.
    • Click+Hold is a temporary listen until user releases mouse click
    • Double click is a hold listen until manually cleared
    • For modules that left/right separated, the user can alt+dblclick/hold to solo/listen to just on the left or right channel.
    • Stereo bands can be changed to mid/side via right click
  • Right click menu can also give a bunch of context options : Clear selected, clear module all, clear SuperVision All, Move listen band to Left Channel (right, center, side, etc), BYPASS (important, so people can keep frequency of interests selected and saved, but not listen to them all the time)
  • Red boxes in the image represent hold selections
    • User holds shift, click and drags a box. That box holds until manually cleared. Users can create multiple listen boxes - stereo, left, right, mid, side.
  • Pink boxes represent being able to solo listen Left/Right/Center/Mid(alt click center)/side(alt click L/R) channels.

The lines in my mockup are only to show the idea - I think in terms of the actual GUI of this idea - simply graying out/colour muting the non-soloed/listened areas would work, with the exception of the boxes maybe having some narrow range lines or maybe perimeter cycle like markers.

There could be lots of other options to explore here, for example a modifier and or options to change whether solo/listen bands are Notch Pass, or Notch Boost.

Could also do band mute as well, sometimes it’s easier to find a problem by muting rather than soloing

Should selections visually mirror to all relevant modules? perhaps an option

There should be global options: Global bypass… And of there should be a module dedicated to Channel Listen/Solo as requested here: Some “minor” improvements to SuperVision - Cubase - Steinberg Forums

Super Vision doesn’t pass any audio, it only shows “what is coming in”.
So a bypass switch wouldn’t make any sense.

actually it does pass audio, that’s how it both does analysis and allows you to hear the audio.

Secondly, I’m talking about bypassing the features I’m suggesting so I don’t really understand your comment - it doesn’t make any sense.

Ok, I wasn’t precise enough…
Supervision passes the audio unaffected to the output. A bypass switch would do nothing.

……. Right…. but my feature request is about processing audio with listen analysis processes. Audio analysis is not only a visual domain… obviously….?……….. Thus, a Bypass would be needed………………

Hi,

What is your point?

A bypass function for a bypass function is senseless.

Hi I think you’re not comprehending what this thread is, you see at the top, it says ‘feature request’.

The feature request isn’t “adding a bypass for the sake of a bypass”. Did you read the title of the thread, did you read the original post? I only mentioned bypass twice. There are 100 or so other words in the post, including a title - all of which have nothing to do with bypass. Did you for someone reason, only see “SuperVision - Bypass”?

The suggested Bypass feature, is not a feature request in of itself for the current incarnation of the plugin - it is a suggested and required feature for the feature requests that are in this thread……

Super Vision is an analyzer.
It doesn’t do anything with the audio signal that you can listen to.

Hi,

Plenty of analyzers have audio features as I already pointed out previously, did you read?

I’m not sure your position here on the forums, are you the Steinberg development moderator? I don’t see that in your title.

Again, SuperVision has no usable audio processing functionality.
It just visualizes the incoming audio.
So it is very unlikely that your requests will happen.

Hi, it’s a feature request.

Is there a rule somewhere I haven’t seen where this cannot change? Is there a rule that audio processing functionality can’t be added?

I’m requesting that basic audio processing functionality be added to a.) make supervision more useful b.) compete with 3rd party products and c.) allow me to further eliminate certain plugins taking up slots on my Control Room inserts.

What the f…k is your problem?

Hi,

There is no problem,

hope you are well.

I’m going to add a little FR utility to this idea.

If there is any audio processing active in SuperVersion once these features get added,

There should be a little pulsating light in the plugins header or footer to warn the user incase they’ve made a small frequency held selection somewhere and don’t realize it. They can click this light to clear all selections across all modules (or right click for clear options) and then the light goes out.

Or of course, they could use the new bypass buttons.

I think the band sweeping/soloing in Voxengo’s Span is a useful feature which I use on occasion. Therefor, I think this is a valid feature request.
