Improved Autosave Logic
Matthew Simon Fletcher replied to Matthew Simon Fletcher's topic in Feedback Loop
Bandmate was also asking if there could be an option for a pop up reminder rather than automatically saving. His logic was again around sometimes being in the swing of things and not wanting the immediate disruption. -

Hi friends - my suggestion would be some improved logic around the autosave functionality. I'm unsure if the functionality of this is fairly basic, i.e. "count down from seconds and save regardless of what is happening" or if there are just bugs/workflows that it doesn't cater for. A few things I've noticed are: Autosave causing crashes (think this has been resolved in a recent build but not 100% - including as relevant example) Autosave happening whilst project is playing - reducing performance and possibly a risky thing to do Autosave happening whilst in the middle of user operations such as drags/copies/highlighting midi notes/deletes - one of my bandmates specifically asked me to bring this up as it regularly disrupts his workflow - at best it's confusing and at worst he's lost changes and had to undo work due to it not being clear what had happened or the wrong thing happening. Autosave occuring immediately after a regular save - not a critical issue but would be better to factor in user saves and reset the timer once these are done. This allows the user to avoid being disrupted twice. We all know how important creative flow is and sometimes an idea can disappear, especially if saving a bigger project. I'm sure there will be other things I've missed. To my mind the really simple logic should be, "have X seconds elapsed since last save - manual or automatic and is any other task going on? If yes and no respectively proceed with autosave, if not, wait till condition is met". Putting this in the minor impact category, but it's one of those that over the years has just begin to get more and more bothersome, and my bandmate specifically asked that I raise it if I haven't already

Display ASIO Buffer size in Control Bar Module?
Matthew Simon Fletcher replied to Colin Nicholls's topic in Feedback Loop
Good idea Colin Seems like the development time on this would be very low (as it's just displaying a value that's already known) and therefore would have a disproportionately high benefit to cost ratio in reducing mean time to understanding of performance issues. -

Hey friends! ❤️ Delighted to share our brand new Disconnected Souls track! Featuring a fabulous guest vocalist Little less out there musically compared to some of other offerings, but still a few fun twists and turn whilst hopefully being catchy and anthemic. If you get chance to listen then I hope you enjoy!

Spectral - Saints Of Excess
Matthew Simon Fletcher replied to Matthew Simon Fletcher's topic in Songs
Thanks @treesha- the variety is the most important thing to me! The Disconnected Souls album really embodies this. Glad to hear you like Dissonant Whispers! That was one of the ones I took on more of a lead on and we learned a lot about orchestration during it that I'm looking forward to applying to other tracks in future. Yeah I see what you mean about the vocals in Monachopsis - I do think this one ended up feeling a bit rushed towards the end of recording/mixing everything else. Backing vocals/harmonies are absolutely another priority focus for the future! Really appreciate your kind words and support. ~Fletch~ -
Spectral - Saints Of Excess
Matthew Simon Fletcher replied to Matthew Simon Fletcher's topic in Songs
Thank you kindly Steve! It's interesting because I feel like the overall mix on Saints is better (and we're working with a higher tier engineer) but having said that it's the first track of that project and sometimes you have to do a few to really get the process and overall sound sorted. I really appreciate the feedback from everyone, which I will take onboard. though and I'm super glad you and others like the other project tracks. Given you enjoyed the other projects here's a few others! (Sorry for spam and no need to listen at all) In Sϕnder has two other releases and we'll hopefully have an EP out by end of year. Those are: DS has three other released vids and another one out next week which I can't wait to share! Busy busy busy! Have a great day all! ~Fletch~ -
Spectral - Saints Of Excess
Matthew Simon Fletcher replied to Matthew Simon Fletcher's topic in Songs
Hi Nigel, Thanks very much for the kind words! That's a useful observation - one of the things I wanted in this project was for the bass to stand out a bit more as it's own instrument then just blending with the guitar, but perhaps we need to go further. Some of the upcoming tracks I have sent back mix notes on about this, so it is definitely something on my mind! Hopefully you'll feel the next ones get the balance right Best wishes, ~Fletch~ -
Great work! I like it
