Fine-Tuning The Little Things
· by Kjell
This one was all about the corners. The artwork-based color detection I put in yesterday worked, but there were edge cases - covers that were mostly black, or those weird late-nineties CD inserts with a single bright element - that were giving me colors I didn't want to look at. I sat with it for an hour with half my record collection loaded up, tweaking the sampling until the results felt honest.
I also calibrated the loudness normalizer against the visualizers (VU). The two systems were reading different LUFS values and it had been nagging at me for days. Now they agree, and the normalizer shows a little status info so you can see what it's actually doing in real time instead of trusting me blindly.
And then favorites got some love: the "add" and "remove" actions are now fully reactive, there's a little "heart" chip in the display you can tap to toggle, and the whole thing just feels like the app is paying attention. Small thing, but I use it many times a day. Worth getting right.
