New feature idea: Instrument Panning #30

Closed catprisbrey closed 9 months ago

catprisbrey commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure if this app is currently in stereo, but I had this thought today:

What if a long press on the instrument showed the typical box of Volume/Variation, but also a slider bar along the top of the screen for Left/Right panning. I use this app a TON (probably for an hour a day... every day.. Part of why I also want a way to send you donation money! I love this app!!!).

Adding a slider to do some panning of the individual instruments would step up the way i use this app even more. Pushing hats right, toms left, crashes off to the side, etc. If that's not possible, then I totally understand, but if it is! That would be awesome to add!

Panning the drums is a good idea, but that would require re-writing all code from mono to stereo

There are two issues with stereo: doesn't sound that good on most phones anyway and its twice as computationally intensive as mono.

Performance is an issue since my development phone is from 2012 ...

Fair enough reason given phones will typically be used mono unless piping out speakers. Closing the ticket
