When and Where?

Flight arrangements can be made to the following airports: MCO, SFB, DAB

Support for this workshop has been provided through the Stetson's Professional Development Committee and Office of the Provost.

Please use the following sections to begin gathering details about specific issues to be addressed during the workshop.

Trond believes that TTBalance should be refactored. This is an effect that depends on a side chain signal. Currently this is implemented in an adhoc manner on a single unit base, with the result that we are unable to use the standard wrappers for j.balance~ and j.balance= in Max. As side chains are quite common in various effects, we should rather extend EffectsLib to provide a standard implementation for effects requiring sidechains.
Trond believes that TTPanorama should be refactored. This is a stereo-out-only effect, but it is implemented on an adhoc basis, and consequently we are not able to use the standard wrappers for j.panorama~ and j.panorama= in Max. There might be other effects that only work with stereo inpput or output signals (such as stereo => mid-side and mid-side => stereo converters). We should rather provide a unified, standard implementation for this, so that the standard wrappers can be used.
Trond believes that the EffectsLib need to be extended to provide a standard attribute (or similar) for all units that provides information on the amount of delay (in samples or milliseconds) that the unit cause. For some effects such as TTMutesolo this will be 0 samples, while for others such as TTLimiter it will depend on the lookahead attribute. When used in plugin implementations this is required in order for the plugin to inform its host of what sample correction to employ.
