Do you have any clue of how long this will take ? 3 months, 6 months or a year ? I don't really know - I have been thinking about it for a while and I believe that one of the nice things about lossyWAV is that it's psy model (if it can be called that) is extremely simplistic - basically take more account of fft results at the lower end of the frequency spectrum and disregard any results above 16kHz.Is SebastianG giving you any accelerated private lessons ? Nope.It's not that I want to hurry you or being rude in any way , but I care a lot for lossywav ... it's already my favorite lossy codec ... & I plan to convert tera of lossless to Lossy|Tak -P|-p2e ... (without lossless backup) so I care a lot for this new noise shaping method if it can make me save some kbps (& also for the new special Tak setting for lossywav ) The new noise shaping method may not actually reduce bitrate (although I would hope that it would). However, until a psy model is identified as being compatible with the rest of the NS mechanics then the development cannot progress past the implementation of SebastianG's method sans psy model.without a 1.2.0 development thread I am asking myself everyday: 1: is it a TODO thing that is already actively worked on in the shadows. 2: is it a TODO thing that is just an idea. 3: are you in vacation with wife & kids. so I'd rather simply ask ... 1: Not yet; 2: Not really; 3: I was for a week, and we all had a nice time.as I have been disapointed by vaporware feature from Christopher 'Monty' Montgomery in the past ... I am very suspicious about open source developers claims ... so excuse me if I sound rude I just want to test your determination to get lossywav to the max of its possible efficiency. (I don't want the "new noise shaping method" to become the "bitrate peeling" of lossywav) I know you just released V1.1.0 a month ago & that I shouldn't already be longing for more ... but now that you are a developer you'll have to learn that end-users are relentless vampires !!! LOL lossyWAV has absorbed most of my "me" time over the last 13 months or so. It is still being worked on, but only speedups and code optimisations at present. I would expect to start the first attempt at implementing SG's new method "soon" but I am not prepared (as this is a hobby project) to set a definitive date for completion. I am very pleased that you think enough of the project to be seeking "more" from it, and also appreciative of the ABX testing that you have carried out during the tuning phase of 1.1.0.
