Admittedly, audio forensics is a small, niche market away from their core customer base, but if we are lucky, our needs will overlap the needs of their studio customers and a fine product will become even more useful to us. From a forensics point of view, here are the things that I have on my wish list:
- Improve support for working with multi-channel WAV files that are not intended for surround sound, including easy trimming of multiple channels and saving, for starters.
- Speed up loading of large multi-channel files
- Improve the spectrogram interface to allow easy and accurate display and analysis of specific frequencies.
- Include an option to decrease the streamlining (in other words, an "option to allow more options")

How about a logging feature that is customisable, to allow for the recording of processes and details such as the settings on filters used in a job. It could then be exported to a Word file.
Excellent suggestion, Nic. Logging (or "audit trail", as it is also called) is a feature that is very useful to forensic examiners. In my experience, however, software applications typically turn this into more of a scripting tool instead of what we think of as "logging" for documenting our restoration, enhancement, rendering, and duplication process. Do you have any examples of a commercial studio application that does logging the way you would like it done?
