Danny,

We considered using a single shortcut to toggle between 4:3 & 16:9 but opted for two in order to simplify matters in case the Field Monitor was set to a third aspect ratio. So no matter what the current setting is, hitting F8 will always take you to 4:3 and CTRL+F8 will get you to 16:9.

As I've acknowledged to you in the past, we're well aware that of all components in DV Rack, the Audio Spectrum Analyzer has the most room for improvement. Refining its representation of the audio signal is high on our list. However, at the moment the DV Rack development team is working on other advances that we are sure will be of great interest to many on this forum--far greater interest, I daresay, than a complete overhaul of the Audio Spectrum Analyzer.

In fairness to reviewers of DV Rack, at least two of them did point out shortcomings in this component. And as for your presumption that "others didn't catch this," you're mistaken if you fancy that you're the first and only person to note ways that it could be improved. Incidentally, I still have you on a list of people who wish to be informed when we've honed the performance of this component.

I hope you understand that we do not have the kind of numbers on our development team to implement all intended improvements in one big push. Instead, we must prioritize and then knock out new features and bug fixes as quickly as possible.
