OK, expanding the resolution of the editor might actually be the fix I'm looking for...
I'm familiar with timeline editors as I'm decently versed in proaudio applications like Logic, Cubase, etc. Spent many hours manually editing note events.
The problems I was having was:
Data points, in this case up/down on left toggle...in this game in particular the data points weren't exact. E.G., a straight down or straight up in the editor wasn't straight up/down in the game. Both would break left. This I can overcome as I edited each data point slightly to the right so instead of a straight line in the editor it was a smidge to the right. This makes a perfectly straight swing...so straight the upswing wouldn't even register in the game.
I wasn't sure if this was a problem with the editor itself or the game. Either way, the workaround works.
My main problem is the downswing. The swing meter in the game is made up of over-swing and fast-swing. Over-swing is on the bottom of the meter and fast-swing is the top of the meter. The fast-swing I can manage a full red to the top...the over-swing I can't get full red...its about 90%, but I must have it 100%.
I tried adding more data points on the pull down but saw no effect. I have the data event as far as it will go to the right on the editor before it bottoms out and nulls the swing. I've spent several hours going from point to point on the editor and found the threshold exactly before it bottoms out. Maybe now that I can expand the resolution I can find that sweet spot.
When I recorded my swing live I noticed a bunch of data points in the beginning of the pull-down of the left toggle. The 1st few points would have a natural progression to the pull, meaning...a little away from center, then a little higher, a little higher, then fully at top...some events would go beyond the top into the black which I was unable to reproduce manually in the editor, definitely curious about how that works and if there was a way to reproduce that phenomenon. Should I stick to the progression or go straight to the top?
I think I might have a few more questions but I have to get back in the editor to give you a clear question.
I think one of which is: should I focus on the time distance of the pull or how many data points that are within the pull time?
Also, what happens exactly when two events are merged? I accidentally merged the beginning up the upswing with the end of the pull-down and both events became one. Can't remember the exact result.
Still digesting your post, but its definitely helped and looking forward to getting back into the editor. Thanks a lot man, very helpful.
