Stereo Tool

Again, only for those who had crashes with BETA001/002, could you try this version? I hope there are no errors left, if there are, please send them to me.

Windows stand alone 32 bit: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 41-003.exe
Windows stand alone 64 bit: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 41-003.exe

One of the crashes was a bug in my code that hasn't caused issues before (not with the previous version of the compiler that I use on Windows, and not on Linux, Mac or Pi either). But it was a bug in my code.

The other one seems to be a bug in the compiler, which decided that it could do some aggressive optimizations that were breaking things. Only on specific CPU's, though.

You did it, no errors left. Working as it should.

Here are all the versions again... same as BETA001 but without the crashes, if there are none left.

Windows 32 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 41-004.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 41-004.exe
VST: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 41-004.dll

Windows 64 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 41-004.exe
VST: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 41-004.dll

CHANGES:
- Crashes in 001 fixed

OLD CHANGES:
- Switched to a new compiler, slightly better performance (+3%)
- Improved NAN recovery handling and fixed 2 possible causes of NAN's
- Added maximum threshold to the compressor, it doesn't do anything if the input exceeds that level.

TODO:
- Fix crash
- Check FB^2 ratio - Found fixed for NCME
- Make copy of Adjustment and only turn of if MAIN drops far enough. Should get rid of temporary rises (Abba)
- Fix "Shape" in new RMS mode (just square it?)
- Add Sudden Jump Protection (directly to compressor if possible)
- Fix Triple Normal Output separate processing clipping level if pre-emphasis for FM is disabled.
- SJP: Fix Attack speed (don't use weird Shape)
- SJP in SC mode broken in MULTICORE mode.
- AGC: Gate before Drive
- SJP: Compensate for window edge
- SJP: Remove dependence on latency setting (2048)
- SJP: Test at lower latencies: 4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256, 128
- SJP: Better lookahead. NO. Good enough.
- AGC: Make lookahead depend on SJP on/off.
- Dynamic ratio: Weird behavior with 1.001:1 as start.
- SJP: Add On/Off in SC.
- SJP: Channel merging: Fix display
- Fix Max Ratio in GUI (break out in separate subpanel)
- SJP: Auto-calculate Level Boost
- SJP: Remove dynamic ratio and add asserts.
- SJP: Add support for ratio
- SJP: Auto-recover when close to target, so Level Boost is less critical -> Not needed I think?
- Test compressor behavior, compare with 8.40 and verify no changes
- Add licensing code (SC, Dynamic Ratio)
- 9sg
- SC ACP: Speeds should not affect it!
- SJP: Weird stuff at very low latencies with SJP levels, goes up and then down sometimes.
- Try new stereo widener idea
- Growling bass (add to True Bass as post filter, compare with https://www.refusesoftware.com/lowender ).
- ladspa? r.co
- Old web interface BP

- SST: Make it switch to backup input when the normal/FM signal switches.
- Make new pre-AGC thing BUSY
- Redesign AGC BUSY
- Share PEQ, convert attack/release?
- Linux version crashes in latest Debian (Jack compatibility issue?)
- NAB! LW!
- RDS: Make note in help about shared drives. Also send to Omnia.
- Smarter stereo-to-mono conversion (only when needed). Use amount of reduction instead of maximum degrees!!!
- Fix Bass boost frequencies in SST
- Make compressor with alternative ratio implementation
- Classical music compressor
- Add phase filter to LW version again?
- SST preset upload: Make sure they are ordered correctly. And how to put the new one up front?
- Wolf Stahl NAN error -> Still trying to reproduce...
- uMPX web interface
- Hide inactive filters in bottom display (option)
- Disabling FM output makes Normal output pre-emphasized, even in SST.
- Test clipping
- NAB
- WASAPI exclusive mode disables certain things, make it possible to disable it (David O'Nell)

Errors were disappeared.

I got an error on a test box that's running an old Intel Core2Duo CPU E8600 on 64 Bit Win10 and 64-bit Stand-Alone StereoTool.

With BETA004? And what's the error message?

Similar looking error, didn't grab it. Beta004, yes.

Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled Beta004 and did not see the error this time. Strange.

Uninstalling and then reinstalling should have no effect at all. Did the error occur every time before? Are you sure that you have BETA004 before?

In installed it over the 8.40 release version, then rebooted the PC before launching it. When it came back up the error was there. I then installed the 8.40 release over Beta004. I wanted to capture the error for you, so I installed Beta004 again and it's now working without issue.
