Grad A: Um , did you guys get my email on the multitrans ? That OK .
Postdoc B: Isn't that wonderful ! Yeah .
Grad A: Yeah . So . So . I I have a version also which actually displays all the channels .
Postdoc B: Excellent ! Thank you !
PhD D: It 's really great .
Grad A: But it 's hideously slow .
Postdoc B: So you this is n Dan 's patches , Dan Ellis 's patches .
Grad A: The what the ones I applied , that you can actually do are Dan 's , because it doesn't slow it down .
PhD D: M
Postdoc B: Fantastic !
Grad A: Just uses a lot of memory .
PhD D: So when you say " slow " , does that mean to Grad A: No , the the one that 's installed is fine . It 's not slow at all . I wrote another version . Which , instead of having the one pane with the one view , It has multiple panes with the views .
PhD E: Yeah .
PhD D: Mm - hmm .
Grad A: But the problem with it is the drawing of those waveforms is so slow that every time you do anything it just crawls .
Postdoc B: Mm - hmm .
Grad A: It 's really bad .
PhD D: It 's So , it it 's the redrawing of the w
Postdoc B: That 's a consideration .
Grad A: Mm - hmm .
PhD D: oh uh - huh , w as you move .
Grad A: As you play , as you move , as you scroll . Just about anything , and it it was so slow it was not usable . So that 's why I didn't install it and didn't pursue it .
Postdoc B: And this 'll be a hav having the multiwave will be a big help cuz in terms of like disentangling overlaps and things , that 'll be a big help .
PhD D: Oh yeah .
Grad A: So . I think that the one Dan has is usable enough .
PhD D: Yeah .
Grad A: It doesn't display the others . It displays just the mixed signal .
Postdoc B: Mm - hmm .
Grad A: But you can listen to any of them .
Postdoc B: That 's excellent . He also has version control which is another nice
PhD E: Yeah .
Postdoc B: e so you e the patches that you Grad A: No , he suggested that , but he didn't  It 's not installed .
Postdoc B: Oh , I thought it was in one of those patches .
Grad A: No . No .
Postdoc B: Oh OK . Well . Alright .
PhD D: So is there any hope for actually displaying the wave form ?
Grad A: Um , not if we 're going to use Tcl - TK At least not if we 're going to use Snack .
PhD D: OK .
Grad A: I mean you would have to do something ourselves .
Postdoc B: Well , or use the one that crawls .
PhD D: OK . Well , I 'm I probably would be trying to use the {comment} whatever 's there . And it 's useful to have the Grad A: Why don't we we see how Dan 's works and if it If we really need the display PhD D: Yeah . I mean . I wonder I 'm just wondering if we can display things other than the wave form . So . Suppose we have a feature a feature stream . And it 's just , you know , a a uni - dimensional feature , varying in time .
PhD E: Yeah .
PhD D: And we want to plot that , instead of the whole wave form .
Grad A: I mean .
PhD D: That might be faster .
PhD E: Yeah .
PhD D: Right ?
Grad A: We we could do that but that would mean changing the code .
PhD D: So .
PhD E: Yeah .
Grad A: I mean this isn't a program we wrote .
Professor C: Yeah .
Grad A: This is a program that we got from someone else , and we 've done patches on .
PhD D: OK .
Postdoc B: Mm - hmm .
PhD D: OK . Well , I 'll talk to you about it and we can see
Grad A: So .
Professor C: Cou - i e I mean , y
PhD E: Yeah .
Grad A: Yeah .
PhD D: but it 's definitely great to have the other one .
Professor C: If there was some Is there some way to have someone write patches in something faster and and link it in , or something ?
PhD D: That 's Grad A: Not easily .
Professor C: Or is that Grad A: I mean y yes we could do that . You could you can write widgets in C . And try to do it that way but I just don't think it Professor C: Yeah .
Grad A: Let 's try it with Dan 's and if that isn't enough , we can do it otherwise .
PhD D: Right .
Grad A: I think it is , cuz when I was playing with it , the mixed signal has it all in there . And so it 's really It 's not too bad to find places in the in the stream where things are happening .
PhD D: OK .
Grad A: So I I don't think it 'll be bad .
Postdoc B: And it 's also also the case that that uh this multi - wave thing is proposed to the PhD E: Hmm ?
Postdoc B: So . Dan proposed it to the Transcriber central people , and it 's likely that uh So . And and they responded favorably looks as though it will be incorporated in the future version .
PhD D: Oh .
Postdoc B: They said that the only reason they hadn't had the multi the parallel uh stream one before was simply that they hadn't had time to do it . And uh so it 's likely that this this may be entered into the ch this central @ @ .
PhD E: Yeah .
Grad A: And if if Professor C: They may well have not had much demand for it .
Postdoc B: Well that 's that 's that 's true , too .
Professor C: Yeah .
Postdoc B: This is a  a useful thing for us .
PhD D: So . You mean they could they could do it and it would be fast enough if they do it ?
PhD E: Yeah .
Grad A: Depends on how much work they did .
Postdoc B: Oh . No . I just mean I just mean that it 's that that his PhD D: Or ?
PhD E: Oh .
Postdoc B: So . This one that we now have does have the status of potentially being incorporated l likely being incorporated into the central code .
PhD D: Mm - hmm . OK .
Postdoc B: Now , tha Now , if we develop further then , y uh , I don't Grad A: I think if if if one of us sat down and coded it , so that it could be displayed fast enough I 'm sure they would be quite willing to incorporate it .
Postdoc B: I mean it 's I think it 's a nice feature to have it set that way . Mm - hmm .
Grad A: But it 's not a trivial task .
Postdoc B: Mm - hmm . Yeah .
PhD D: OK .
Postdoc B: I just like the idea of it being something that 's , you know , tied back into the original , so that other people can benefit from it .
Grad A: Yeah .
Postdoc B: Yeah . However . I also understand that you can have widgets that are very useful for their purpose and that you don't need to always go that w route . Yeah .
PhD E: OK .
Grad A: anyway , shall we do digits ?
Postdoc B: Yeah .
Professor C: Yeah . Let 's do digits , uh , and then we 'll turn off the mikes , and then I have one other thing to discuss .
Postdoc B: OK .
Grad A: OK .
PhD D: I actually have to leave . So . Um . I mean I had to leave at three thirty ,
Postdoc B: Uh - oh .
Grad A: OK .
Professor C: Oh .
PhD D: so I can  Well , I can wait for the digits but I can't stay for the discussion
Grad A: Well , you want to go first ? Or .
PhD D: I c I have to make a call .
Professor C: OK .
PhD D: So .
Postdoc B: Well , should we e should we switch off the g
Professor C: Well , we 'll talk to you about it  Uh
Grad A: Do you wanna go do digits or do you wanna just skip digits ?
PhD D: Um . No , I can do digits if if But I don't wanna butt in , or something .
Grad A: Then Alright . You go ahead .
PhD D: But if there 's something on the rest of the I 'm I 'll be around just have to make call before quarter of . So .
