annotate transform/FeatureWriter.h @ 1520:954d0cf29ca7 import-audio-data

Switch the normalisation option in WritableWaveFileModel from normalising on read to normalising on write, so that the saved file is already normalised and therefore can be read again without having to remember to normalise it
