Beta 006 still has a problem with long parameter names in the STS file.

Note the following fields which get saved with truncated names when presets are saved with 006:

Extra loudness - New Bass Protection - Strict clipping - Never dynamically rais=0.910000026
Extra loudness - Non constant sound vibrations - Relative highs sensitivity (ne=1
Do not reconstruct if reconstructed signal resembles original - texture thresho=1
Spectral hole filler - Reconstruct top part if likely - Slow rise - Avoid highs=0

Which should be:

Extra loudness - New Bass Protection - Strict clipping - Never dynamically raise bass level above=0.910000026
Extra loudness - Non constant sound vibrations - Relative highs sensitivity (new)=0.330000013
Do not reconstruct if reconstructed signal resembles original - texture threshold=1
Spectral hole filler - Reconstruct top part if likely - Slow rise - Avoid highs flutter=1
Spectral hole filler - Reconstruct top part if likely - Slow rise - Avoid highs flutter - Stronger=0

Alarmingly, that second to last field doesn't get saved at all in beta 006.

The 2nd field has different numbers (1 vs 0.33). Is this a typo or part of the bug?

I didn't notice that when I posted it. You're right. That appears to be broken as well.

I've been doing some larger code rewrites and the VST and Linux builds are broken at the moment. But there are some new features (including one that affects audio) so I wanted to run a new build anyway.

Windows 32 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 36-007.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 36-007.exe
VST: http://---.stereotool.com/download/vst_stereo_tool_BETA836-007.dll BUILD FAILED

Windows 64 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 36-007.exe
VST: http://---.stereotool.com/download/vst_stereo_tool_64_BETA836-007.dll BUILD FAILED

CHANGES:
- Long STS file names fixed (more)
- Sound card issue in Generic plugin (2 threads)
- Triple ,0 with GUI doesn't work WAITING FOR FEEDBACK
- New RMS mode: Add channel linking (Explanation will follow)!

OLD CHANGES
- 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. -> Long names in the STS file were cut off!
- Clipper "Prioritize loudness" mode. Now also works for non-composite clipper, and much bigger effect.
- LW version removed Diff, Hear, Absolute Highs
- AGC bug: Window did not work properly (caused clicking sounds and jumps) with AGC block sizes smaller than the default block size.
- Clipper: Prioritize Loudness works for composite clipper (see Advanced Clipper -> Sound). Might need further optimization.
- Bug fix (8.34): EQUALIZER could change to Phase Delay graph and vice versa.
- RMS same behavior for DC Waiting for feedback
- Bug fix (8.34): EQUALIZER was still not ok, should be now.
- New RMS mode split in 2 modes: "RMS" which has the same behavior as Peak and Old RMS for DC offsets (the standard behavior), and another new RMS mode with 1.8 dB higher thresholds to be nearly identical to the old RMS mode, to make it easier to convert presets to the new RMS mode.

TODO:
- SST preset upload: Make sure they are ordered correctly. And how to put the new one up front?
- New RMS mode: Compensate for release speed difference. Is going slower now for bigger drop.
- New RMS mode: Release is slower for bigger distances, should I fix that?
- RDS word wrap chance for ArcticPalm: Split words if needed. Dave Hartman.
- Wolf Stahl NAN error -> Still trying to reproduce...

- SST upload / confirm / download / delete presets
- uMPX web interface
- Disabling FM output makes Normal output pre-emphasized, even in SST.
- Test clipping
- Classical music compressor
- Fix anti-phase. 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)

IMHO new RMS mode sounds too hard and a bit strange, like something wrong in attack/release?

Are you comparing with the old RMS mode? To me the new one sounds much less 'pumpy' and restless. The release can be slower for big releases though, and I'm working on a fix for that.

Also you might need to change settings anyway, since it behaves differently...

- Added Covfefe follower to get all the levels the same in the new RMS mode also with big Covfefe values
- Test Covfefe pressure_follower with low frequency sine waves and fast release to make sure that it's roughly correct.
- Test Covfefe pressure_follower with different release times to make sure that it's correct.

Is a cmd version available? It's the easiest way to run our measurement scripts on the new rms mode.

In SB, in the Detection section.. there's "covfefe". Is that a kind of a Trump detection? :D
