info layer: blocks instead of lines ?

[gramote]

Hi,
i am using the info layer to adjust the volume. for some songs it is ok, because the sound appears as a "grey" line that i can adjust, but for some others it is not a grey line but a set of blocks, so i am not able to adjust the volume with a good granularity.
anybody knows what i am doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help

4 layers or less and you get the blocks......it still works the same though.

I thought it was 4 bars or less? Have I been wrong all this time.

[gramote]

Wonderful ! you are both the best !
That was the good idea: in fact, below 7bars we have blocks, starting at 8 bars it is a line.
any idea why ? can we have a line with less than 8 bars

[mickeymix]

Sonoma designed it that way......I too like the line better.

there must be a reason, i really don't see any added value to that.

may there is a parameter to tune somewhere ?

thanks again mickeymix

well for as much as i muck up, the little blocks give me the ability to knock out smaller sections of wrong notes..

It's Resolution is 2 Nodes per beat.

When Your riff gets longer (it length)( it starts looking smoother (visually).On my system it's the 8 bars or above limit.

The Reason for having them smooth(no blocks) i guess is that with too many blocks it gives a sluggish performance.

Wanna try that out, set your time signature to 16/4 , length 4-5 bars (in 4/4 sense it is 16-20 bars )- and record something then check the info. With so many blocks this is really hard to control. (128 or more blocks)

So why no line at lower lengths?? Perhaps it was by design to make it easier/accurate to see and have fun with it, drum loop part muting or a better visual aid and stuff.

thanks altawar.
well, the point is that with block it is not easier (at least for me), for example i cannot fade away the end of the riff, (and i can with the line).
So i will appreciate to have always lines instead of blocks.

I would think a fix for this would be to throw this riff on the song layer by itself like 3 or 4 times. Then mix down to a new riff as one riff. That way it will be longer and have the smoother fade out.

Try it and let me know if that works, kind of curious...

Yup it works I just tried it. Took a 4 bar riff with blocks and put it in the song layer twice then mixed down to riff. Came out with the smooth fade out.

But didn't you eventually end up with a 8 bar riff?

drag the cursor down just like using the line.

Yeah your right and after reading the original post I guess this wouldn't work for him. I thought I read he wanted to fade out so the 8 bars woudn't have mattered in that case.
