New Post: New feature to store/recall pitch/speed settings for songs OR new semitone slider that adjusts in clear audible steps

Zenon66, thanks for this! I upgraded from Pitch & Shift due to the inclusion of the ability to adjust cents.

I'm extremely grateful for this tool! I studied interface design in school, and I understand the challenges. My constructive criticism is that I'd really like to see the values for semitone, cent, etc. Viewing those values only on hover is kind of a pain. Other buttons have no explanation at all and it would be useful for those to at least have something on hover so you know what the buttons do. I had to use trial and error to figure them out.

That's just constructive criticism. I'm very happy with this program overall and I appreciate your responsiveness above in this thread.

Cheers!

Hi jc174.

Actually I see that some buttons should need a tooltip to explain its function.
In the other hand, having a value for pitch/shift fixed on the interface might result on make the UI more ugly.
BTW, for the next version I'll try to achieve a more legible UI, even for the mixer value.
Also about the mixer, a good idea might be to let choose from a preset of values; I'm looking for a valid and source but so far I didn't find any.

Actually I'm already busy on Ultimate Music Tagger for a great refactoring / improvement job.

Stay tuned anyway :)

Best regards
FS
