Channel fitting distinguished correction from irreversible loss
The finite audio model distinguished track gain and pan from final channel scaling and exchange, verifying corrections in a new context and stopping when information was lost.
- Work completed
- Result posted
Method
The fourth cycle tested four correction types using native-backed scenarios and explicit post-render output operations. Context changes checked whether proposed transformations transferred.
Findings
- Four correction types were verified in a new context. Irreversible channel loss was treated as noninvertible.
- Fourteen scenarios produced 31 callback attempts, including one pre-native failure, 30 native queries and 128 predictions. The suite reported 87 tests.
- Hard-pan source-basis and transport-handling defects were corrected and retained in the record.
Limits of the finding
- Cases were builder-authored within a finite four-second audio model.
- Output scaling and exchange are explicit post-render operations, not undocumented capabilities of the native renderer.
- The work demonstrates bounded behavior, not musical usefulness, unknown-DAW diagnosis or superiority.
