| Post subject: | Stereo Tool 8.36 BETA |
Hi all, Wes Keene reported a very important bug: As it turns out, the RMS mode of the analog compressor was actually not RMS at all, but something in between RMS and average. This version brings it much closer to RMS. This does change the behavior quite a bit. Most importantly: - Loud vocals are reduced less - Other sounds are reduced more - Big attack jumps are handled faster. Release might be slower. In general I can say that this new compressor mode (I've named it RMS, old is now RMS (pre-8.36), you can find it under 'Sound') sounds more stable, more consistent and less "pumpy". Note: In the Digital mode this setting is identical to normal RMS mode. Note: This is a pretty big change so I may have overlooked something. I think I've tested all the relevant compressor settings though.

Tested and seems to work, needs to be implemented to always work. - NAB - WASAPI exclusive mode disables certain things, make it possible to disable it (David O'Nell) |

That sounds really really great! Unfortunately, the bug in the VST64 version for Windows is still contained, which I posted here. Could you please check what you can do about it? |

Hi. I think I found a bug (8.36 beta 003). Load any preset and go to AGC / Side Chain. Now load for example 7 Wonders (soft). When loaded, as soon as you move the mouse, the side chain curve is modified. Do you see this too ? |

There is a settings bug. If you load any preset, the Leif composite strictness seems to go down to 8. I use 9 in my settings, but I have to reset it to 9 anytime I load a preset, even if that preset already uses 9. I have not tested other values. I assume it's broken always. |

When downloading this, the header says this is 8.36 BETA 003. Install file is exact size as the 8.36 Beta 003. Basically I see no difference between the two.
