@edvin I have that Yeti mic. Bought it for musician purposes back in the day but glad I kept it around for webcasting. It is quite excellent.

Do you guys use voice filters for audio recording (like dynamics processor, noise gate, equalizer, de-essing)?

@thomasnield I'm also super happy with it. Carl suggested that I get a physical filter to put in front of it, so I might try that as well, but for now the boom stand and shock mount made a huge difference.

@hastebrot No, I've never messed with anything other than the volume really 🙂

But man.. Open Broadcaster Studio is the way to go. It looks a bit crappy at first, but when you understand how it works with scenes and sources.. Powerful stuff. It also supports hardware accel, so 4k 60fps recordings are almost free with regards to the CPU.

yeah, OBS and Restream are great tools. I've used OBS to stream speedruns of old C64 games.

If I want to access

root.scene

(or

primaryStage.scene

) in

FooView.<init>()

I need to delay the event registration to the next available JavaFX thread pulse. Otherwise it will throw a NPE. That's similar to the good old

setTimeout(..., 0)

trick in JavaScript/DOM.

I haven't looked much into

onDock()

and

onUndock()

. Maybe it is better to register (or unregister) the events in these methods instead in

init {}

.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

Or even better declare the

ESCAPE

key handler for every created

Scene

.

As a general rule, you want to use

onDock

instead of init when you need a complete environment before you make changes.

I think we have some support for adding accelerators to scenes though, hang on, checking.

I know there is something for modal windows/fragments in TornadoFX, that adds an

ESC

handler.

That's correct, what you do there is done automatically for you if you open another window using

openWindow

or

openModal

and pass

true

for the

escClosesWindow

parameter.

Method name change suggestion:

TableView<T>.bindSelected()

to

TableView<T>.bindSelectedTo()

. For me

a.bind(b)

implies, that the "right-hand-side" (b) is bound to the "left-hand-side" (a), similar to an assignment with the

=

operator (but with reactive semantics).

bindSelected()

does this the opposite way.

You're right @hastebrot, that would be a better name. Don't know if it's worth changing it though.

@edvin principle of least astonishment 🙂 I'll open up a PR, when I have time.

@hastebrot Yeah, I'm thinking about breaking backwards compatibility. We could of course add the new and deprecate the old.

Can anybody give me some insight into whether this is a good idea: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-idea-plugin/issues/18

@hastebrot I do some music recording so some of my screencasts were done in Sonar (formerly Cakewalk). I have a few vocal strips which are software versions of a combination of effects like a compressor, limiter, de-esser. Also, there are many EQs, consoles, and software tube preamps. However, I usually rely on Camtasia’s basic post-processing to level out the audio and sometimes do noise removal. Camtasia is far less flexible than Sonar (or any Digital Audio Workstation [DAW]), but to add these effects, it’s just 2 check boxes in a tool that I’m already working with.

@carlw Cakewalk Sonar looks good so far, but operating system = windows 😕 I have the demo version of Bitwig Studio (another DAW) on my Ubuntu machine (for my Novation Launchkey). Maybe Bitwig has similar functions. I'll see. 🙂

@hastebrot There’s a lot of standardization in the plugins. One standard is VST. You’ll be able to import modules like the vocal strip I described in any DAW.

@hastebrot I’m on linux a lot. I’ll look into Bitwig myself.

@hastebrot the pop filter can help too. It lets you get closer to the mic (avoiding more background noise) without having to worry about pops. Pops are a pain because they’re tough to post-process. All the information is lost when the mic clips and can’t be boosted or added back.

This JavaFX screencast has audio intro and outro clips recorded in Sonar then imported into Camtasia. The vocal recording was made in Camtasia with the audio leveling and noise reduction turned on. I’m working on adding a webcam to videos like this for sections where I’m talking more than moving the mouse. https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_notifapp_1_design.html

I toyed a bit with a master/detail view, properties and

ItemViewModel

. I've implemented some stuff manually and didn't split the TornadoFX

View

into two views (one for the list, one for the editor). Strangely I have to manually call

refresh()

on the `TableView`: https://gist.github.com/hastebrot/9f4473ab13dee0b3f919ef1c3758e278#file-countries-kt-L80-L81

@hastebrot That's because your columns are bound against the getter/setter instead of the property of the domain object, so the tableview cannot be aware of any changes. Change

column("country", Country::country)

to

column("country", Country::countryProperty)

etc, and you should be golden.

@hastebrot You also have a lot of unneeded boiler plate, I can show you some other neat tricks later today 🙂
