MEAP class of Feb 5th, 2007
present: Ron, MarC, Sam, Christine, Dan, Jeff, (Mike)
Sam said Douglas's 1800 blocks were really beautiful.
Christine is indeed taking the design class. Project for class is to find a specific task and an expert who has been doing it for 10 years, talk to them for an hour a week, and develop a user interface design for them.
Some component of MEAPsoft? Visualizer? Segmenter?
Segmenter: goal is to cut up the soundfile. Automatic program runs, then user interface allows user to explore the results, then modify it - deleting segments, adding, moving them (?).
* Snap-to-beat .. different "radii of uncertainty" for different behavior.
* Supercollider sound file editor - Eisenkraut].
* Juce] library - used in Mackie's Tracktion].
* Composers like waveform view - no real desire for spectrograms, need precise temporal control.
* Or at least synchronized time and time-frequency views.
* Playback (with blips?) to experience acoustically.
We made a rough sketch of the user interface: 
Dan added a "with blips" checkbox to the playback control in the visualizer, and submitted it to Ron via darcs.
