Adding Hertz input would greatly simplify using the "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" effect as a "tunig correction" effect for recordings of traditional music. In order to adjust a recording played with traditional instruments or sung in a traditional tuning to the 440Hz standard of modern instruments it would be useful to have the possibilty to define the "Pitch Change" in the Audacity "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" effect not only in semitones or percent, but also in Hertz, mainly because the "middle A" standard tuning is defined in Hertz and not in semitones or percent. In the "Change Pitch" also changes tempo? discussion we found that the Audacity "Change Pitch" effect is not precise enough to change the pitch of an audio track recorded from a traditionally tuned instrument to modern 440Hz standard tuning without bringing the track out of sync with the other audio tracks, but the Audacity "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" effect (with a "Tempo Change" of zero percent) can be used for this with good results. Wikipedia History of pitch standards in Western music for more details. Using Hertz in "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift": During the last centuries the pitch standard of today 440Hz for "middle A" varied between 415Hz (baroque wind instruments) up to 466Hz (church chorton).

Steve (OP): Of these features I'd prioritise the first two, but I agree that fader automation would be a great enhancement.Fast switching between the main window and the Mixer Board window.

I suggest that you make a separate feature request for this (and it gets my vote). This feature request goes beyond "Notch Filter", it is a limitation for all Nyquist plug-in effects. Steve: I agree that an option for logarithmic sliders would often be useful, but unfortunately that is not currently available for Nyquist plug-ins.Giving users the option whether to specify the width or the Q factor might be best. Having a width control instead would be more intuitive. A logarithmic slider would be better (the actual effect of doubling Q is similar whether you're going from 1 to 2 or 100 to 200). Notch filter logarithmic slider: Setting the notch filter's Q factor with a linear slider doesn't really make sense.Yes, in absolute "Hz" the notch may look quite wide, but in terms of octaves a Q of 20 really is pretty narrow. As you have discovered you can set the Q as high as you like (by keyboard entry). You can actually enter whatever Q you want to run the filter with (and the slider will be "stuck" at the right) but it won't remember your setting, resetting to 20 instead. using a Q factor less than several hundred would have been unnecessarily eating away at the signal. For instance, I had a recording with a 6200 Hz hum and the peak was only 8Hz wide. if you're filtering out a constant high-frequency sound that's going to affect way too broad a frequency range. Notch Filter q: For the notch filter, q=20 is a ridiculously low upper limit.Steve: I do see some problems with the suggestion, namely that psychoacoustic weightings assume a specific "loudness" but that depends on how high you have your amp/speakers turned up.
