AudioSampleBuffer convenience functions

i’m working a lot with the AudioSampleBuffer class and i’ve discovered most of the time i need to copyFrom two buffer while still applying a volume (ramped or linear) in the same loop (thus not requiring an additional loop only for setting volume).

void AudioSampleBuffer::copyFrom (const int destChannel,
                                  const int destStartSample,
                                  const float* source,
                                  int numSamples,
                                  float gain) throw()
{
    jassert (((unsigned int) destChannel) < (unsigned int) numChannels);
    jassert (destStartSample >= 0 && destStartSample + numSamples <= size);
    jassert (source != 0);

    if (gain != 0.0f && numSamples > 0)
    {
        float* d = channels [destChannel] + destStartSample;

        if (gain != 1.0f)
        {
            while (--numSamples >= 0)
                *d++ = gain * *source++;
        }
        else
        {
            copyFrom (destChannel,
                      destStartSample,
                      source,
                      numSamples);
        }
    }
}

void AudioSampleBuffer::copyFromWithRamp (const int destChannel,
                                          const int destStartSample,
                                          const float* source,
                                          int numSamples,
                                          float startGain,
                                          float endGain) throw()
{
    jassert (((unsigned int) destChannel) < (unsigned int) numChannels);
    jassert (destStartSample >= 0 && destStartSample + numSamples <= size);
    jassert (source != 0);

    if (startGain == endGain)
    {
        copyFrom (destChannel,
                  destStartSample,
                  source,
                  numSamples,
                  startGain);
    }
    else
    {
        if (numSamples > 0 && (startGain != 0.0f || endGain != 0.0f))
        {
            const float increment = (endGain - startGain) / numSamples;
            float* d = channels [destChannel] + destStartSample;

            while (--numSamples >= 0)
            {
                *d++ = startGain * *source++;
                startGain += increment;
            }
        }
    }
}

can you consider adding those functions ?

Yes, they’re a good idea - I’ll drop them in when I get chance… Thanks!
