Kompoz HDAs you may have noticed, we rolled out a colorful new feature this morning.  WAV and AIF tracks (uncompressed audio files) now have a shiny HD badge, along with a matching color-coordinated waveform.  

This makes it easier to see which tracks within your projects (and other projects) are available as hi-res uncompressed audio.

Raf, this is a very good addition, it will definitely help when chasing those last seps for a project. If I may... whenever you have a minute between lattes.... if you could make some indication already in the track list (the Tracks tab in a project), for example the HD symbol, it would help even more. Now, what you have done is already very good, and it will help us know when to download a track to be able to hear it correctly and when we can just play it off the site, but my humbly suggested addition would assist even more in allowing us to get a very quick overview of which tracks for a project still need high quality seps. I'll buy the latte.

Rock On

Yes. Easy upgrade, great idea -- my favorite type of enhancement request.

Good man, make the latte a double, on me!

The badge and colored waveform image is nice, but is there any way to show this from the track list view? I suppose this is the same thing Björn is asking. It would be nice if those icons showed us compressed or uncompressed. THAT would make it really practical for organizing things.

I'd pitch in a latte and maybe a Corona or 12.

Mmmm...that color always makes me want an orange dreamsicle.

Nice.
Raf, you could just put a little orange dot or H in the little kompoz player bubble.

Thank you Raf! Good job. The matching colour waveform seems not to work, though. Check this one for instance: http://kompoz.com/t/202327

... or maybe that track had been uploaded before the new feature was applied? P.S. I like orange!

  raf on Wed, Jun 13, 2012 @ 10:23 PM UTC

Yes, only applies to new tracks posted after 7:00 AM EST

5 stars for this, Raf. A big time saver.

As requested by Bjorn (and others), the "HD" badge is now added on the track list page. Here's an example.

I really like the "Added" and "Updated" designations on the track listing page for each project. Extremely helpful.

Working on projects tonight I found this new feature to be really helpful. The HD badge in the track listing is a time saver when I'm trying to narrow down which tracks I need to pull for a mix. Bravo.

Raf may I suggest HD 3D for stereo 24bit tracks as I'm sure Jim would love this feature too.



Sorry Jimbo

Raf, I love Andrew's suggestion. Just add one additional feature. Whenever ANYONE uploads a stereo vocal track, send a 40,000 volt impulse to Bull's and Joey Cannoli's (Phoephus) computers just to let them know how happy it makes me. It will be kind of like shooting off fireworks.

Jim I'm posting the glasses for you to view my vox tracks.


oooucchh!!!!

Yeah, that bright orange kinda jumps right out at ya! Shades now a staple in the studio!

Andrew, I already have those glasses. I stole them from the movie theater when I went to see "The Lorax".

This batch of enhancements is a doosie... I really dig the HD tag on the track list page. I just saw the split options for downloading zip or to dropbox. Cool stuff, and I better get up to speed with the dropbox. Thanks Raf
