@Direct, thx so much for your answer. u can check out how IL Wave Candy plugin handles the freeze toggle. Besides adding a shortcut, their approach is really inspiring and efficient like when you hold Ctrl + left click on the spectrogram it freezes, and pressing again unfreezes. Super smooth workflow tbh. So imo, having something similar here, along with shortcut support, will make the feature way more practical, especially for transcribing where the easier and faster the tools are, the better.

Right now the behavior of holding left mouse shows the coordinate values (hz, tone, time). I think it will be more intuitive if those values just showed up on hover, since they’re always useful, instead of needing to hold the mouse button. Again, I’m pointing at Wave Candy because their behavior feels more natural and intuitive. So yeah, to recap:

add shortcut support for toggle freeze
add a Ctrl + left click toggle freeze option
make hovering with mouse show coordinates by default instead of needing to hold left mouse

Anyways, if you ever open source the code I will be glad to help, I could even reverse engineer and add the toggle freeze feature myself, but tbh I prefer it be done officially. Anyawys, amazing product and thanks for all.

Hey brother, earlier this year I was asking for a freeze button that toggles the state of the visualizer so you can pause it at a given moment. This is super helpful, for example with the spectrogram, when you want to re-transcribe notes. I love that you added this in v1, but there’s an issue. The hard part is done, but what’s missing is a keyboard shortcut. Right now it’s very inconvenient to have to click the Pause or Resume buttons each time with the mouse. It would be so much better if we could assign a shortcut to toggle that button.

I even tried using a thirdparty tool to capture the image and click by position, but that’s really clunky. imo  It would be much more useful if you either opened up some API access for developers or simply added a menu for assigning keyboard shortcuts, especially for important functions like this one. Is this something you plan to add? Like I said, it would be super helpful and I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to implement.

Awesome. That’s so cool, I’m really excited about this feature. If you don’t mind, could you give me a hint about when version 1.0 will be released approximately? 

hey Direct,there’s one feature missing from this plugin that would make it the ultimate package: a freeze button or icon. When clicked, it would freeze the waveform display, allowing the user to analyze a snapshot. The waveform would remain frozen until the user decides to unfreeze it.

IMO this feature will be incredibly useful, many plugins already have it built in. For example, if you want to analyze a chord progression or melody through the spectrogram, instead of trying to follow the waveform as it fades away, you could simply freeze it and study the state.

could you consider integrating this into the program? If not, it doesn’t seem like a complex thing to implement, does it?
