p.s - actually another option would be to create a "cache" for validated files, such that if a scaper object has already validated that a file exists, it doesn't try...

I love that scaper was helpful in putting together ambiscaper :) It might make sense to consider folding AmbiScaper into Scaper - they both achieve very similar goals, the only...

SNR is a relative measure. All foreground event SNR is set relative to the background track, it doesn't really make sense for the background track to have an SNR in...

I think there are two separate issues here that are being confounded: 1. Adding support for multiple backgrounds 2. How to add this support Regarding (1), I am actually open...

p.s. - regardless of the direction taken, this would imply a pretty big change to the API, so I expect this to require some pretty detailed planning prior to any...

For example, if multiple background tracks are provided, then the SNR of each foreground event would have to be computed relative to the *mixture of backgrounds*. This means the background...

> I think my misunderstanding was on how you were defining SNR. I saw that Scaper handles multiple background tracks, so SNR at the moment really just equates to some...

p.s - and as a user I would probably refrain from using multiple background tracks right now, since the resulting soundscape would have wrong SNR values for all the foreground...

Another question is whether, once the background tracks are mixed together, to keep them as is (and adjust the gain of foreground events relative to `bg_mix_db`) or, alternatively, to mix...

Yes, that's what I was suggesting basically :)
