2 -1: sometimes the properties reset themselves :  I did utilize window.Reload(option), where option = false. this should not trigger any properties reset to default. i will check it over the weekend.
2-2: add separate padding options for right and for bottom :  Done. please find the script attached. There may be likely bugs cause i am in a rush.
4- It is fantastic that you can play around with that. I humbly raise an idea to calculate x0,y0 as per image attached. It should be easy for you to catch up.

2-1) Properties still reset sometimes.
2-2) Thanks for adding margin properties for top and bottom. I asked this just for consistency since I always set them to 0.

The alignment option works great. I always put it to Center. It rises an issue though. When the available height is greater than needed the vu meter is aligned correctly. However (after adjusting PivotPointX and PivotPointY) at high output the needle displays under the allotted space for the VU meter. and under the opaque L_2 png. See attached screenshot (needles in red to show the issue).

As you can see in the screenshot the original VU meter resizes automatically to use full available space.
Is this functionality you are going to look into as well?
I realize that angle calculations will become more complicated.

Another nice feature of the original VU meter is that you can adjust sensibility my using control mousewheel. which would be a great feature instead of entering a fixed value in properties.

Thx

AAC - Tech / Re: A weak point of HE-AAC

1: Is it possible to overlap pure MDCT and SBR in AAC?
Maybe? The MPEG standard requires HE-AAC decoders to decode the SBR component even if they have to halve the output sample rate, which suggests that SBR might be able to do something useful even when it overlaps the AAC LC component.

You can try doubling the sample rate before you encode your audio to HE-AAC so the AAC LC component's sample rate will be the same as the original sample rate.

I've tried it and got a worse result.

MP3 - General / Re: Split mp3 without re-transcoding?
Last post by fooball -
Hello everyone. Is it possible to split an mp3 without re-transcoding (recompressing or reprocessing)? mp3DirectCut (mpesch3.de) claims on its website that it can split mp3s in a "non-destructive" way, without re-encoding. How true is this? Can mp3DirectCut really generate "untouched" fragments (without generational loss) of the original mp3 file? Is there a way to verify this?

See the notes about lossless editing in WavePad: https://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/wavepad/win/losslessmp3.html

In summary, they say editing is restricted to frame boundaries, and "audio which is cut-and-pasted can still be saved losslessly, except for a few of the frames on the boundary of a cut-and-paste, which may be re-encoded".  I assume the same applies to the join at a cut.

Video editors work in a similar way: if you set the export as "intelligent re-encode", everything gets passed through from the source video untouched except where it absolutely needs to be re-encoded.

1 Referring to the AIMP skin by hiccup. The @sveakul port to the ".bin" format and the AIMP modifications work just as well and are also properly calibrated.
oops : Thanks a lot for the new .5 version of your plugin!  Just wanted to clarify that while I posted the BIN port of hiccup's AIMP skin here, hiccup created the BIN version also.  I merely added the red/green LED coloration and a darker body to his original color scheme.  I was able to do that because he forwarded to me the extracted components and the two *.vu project files for VUEditor to put it back together.  Unfortunately I don't have the time or concentration to come up with project files myself.

Hi,
Facets has a "summary item" which totals the items in a column. Is there an equivalent for ReFacets?
