Audio Waveform Rendering
Yesterday/today I've refocused my attention on finishing the audio player. Mostly this has involved getting a visual representation of the waveform displayed as the following screen shot shows:
When an audio file is first loaded, Cantabile will scan it on a background worker thread for peak information and then saves it in the same file format as used by Reaper. This saves littering hard drives with yet another peak file format. Thanks to Justin Frankel for sharing information on the file format.
Next is ability to set play position/play range/loop mode and to show current play position in status bar.

I think I've mentioned this before, but what would be really great for live performance is to use a trigger (such as a button or pad) on a MIDI keyboard to trigger an audio file playback.
