Filtered waveform should reflect EQ frequency ranges

[Sean M. Pappalardo]

The Filtered (GL) waveform should take the frequency ranges set for the EQs into account when it draws the separate components to more accurately reflect what's being heard. (A bit like how the cross-fader curve widget uses the actual curve function to accurately plot the graph.)

[Thomas Vincent (vrince)]

Keep in mind this means re-run waveform analysis any time you change frequency ranges.
Are frequency ranges intended to change a lot ?

Oh, yuck. I didn't realize that. Okay, triaging this unless/until we ever get an on-the-fly waveform renderer.

Hmm.. I don't think understand -- the bands take into account the frequency
ranges inherently since they are the result of the filter output. Under
what you're proposing, what would change about the waveform rendering?

I'm talking about changing the waveform in real-time while you tweak the non-static EQ cutoffs while one of the EQs is attenuated. (This is what a filter effect would essentially do.) It's more a fun thing than anything (though it would be more accurate to what's coming out of the speakers,) so it's not a big deal.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

Ah ok -- I see. The computational requirements are too great here so I don't think we'll ever do what you described.

One related thing that might be good is to allow the user to customize the EQ settings that are used to generate the waveforms. Every time you change the setting all waveforms would have to be regenerated but we could just add a warning for that. (because of that, it would be a separate preference from the actual EQ settings that you could get to e.g. from a waveform preferences section)
