It doesn't mean that my original statement regarding the v1/v2 differences is false! I'm confident since the difference is too big for placebo effect.So you keep saying, but where's the ABX-able proof?
Happy to hear you approve! I think others may enjoy the component too so I published it on my page: https://foobar.hyv.fi/?view=foo_retain_playtime.
A note: you can load both tracks into fb2k (either v1 or v2), select both, right click, Utilities > ABX tracks and you can do a ABX blind test to see if you can actually tell the difference between the two tracks. Please consider doing this and posting your ABX results!These samples are too close. Actually I downloaded the ABX utility to check if the "limiter" feature of it would help (it allows to play just a short piece and quickly switch between the samples), but no. I wonder if the author of the recordings can tell the difference listening on his own system. It doesn't mean that my original statement regarding the v1/v2 differences is false! I'm confident since the difference is too big for placebo effect.
Killing all relevant details makes your plugin just a kid toy.While there is some merit for 1/3rd octave bands and 1/1st octave bands as well as the smoothing of the spectrum visualization (e.g. reducing the visual clutter) especially when you focused on the spectral trends instead, unnecessary smoothing do kill off some of the relevant details
