Stereo Tool 8.50 has been released!
The new Auto EQ and dynamic ratio's are a paid option, they require a license that contains "Advanced Dyamics" license. Go to
https://www.stereotool.com/products/ if you want to add it to your license!
Changes:
- Added new Auto EQ.
- Added new Low Level Boost filter, intended for classical music.
- Added final limiter with bass clipper.
- Redesigned AGC, new AGC is simpler and more consistent.
- Compressors: In Analog mode, added dynamic ratio's, for getting more compression at higher input levels.
- Compressors: Attack/release behavior in the new RMS mode was wrong, now fixed. Result is more consistent and movements are less sudden.
- Phase repair (part of Stereo Image): Improved pure anti-phase handling, now it can make pure anti-phase perfect again too.
- Added option to move equalizer between MB's.
- Added option to move Bass Boost (Bass Harmonics) before last MB.
- Updated to a new compiler, 3% performance gain. Several compiler bugs found and workarounds added.
- AGC: Side chain now has a parametric eq (both old and new AGC).
- RDS encoder: The end of long words was cut off, now those words are split.
- RDS encoder: Filtering out empty fields when including an empty file.
- RDS encoder: Added automatic splitting of long words in PS text.
- RDS encoder: Skipping empty fields (for example when an imported file is empty or does not exist).
- GUI: Changed width of sections in small windows to make room for Auto EQ on the bottom of the window.
- GUI: If backup input is active, the input volume meters change color to blue.
- GUI: Multiband Compressor ratio's moved to a separate page because 2 extra settings were needed.
- AM clipper is now always oversampled, small overshoots were possible before (especially in US/10 kHz mode).
- Stereo Tool/SST web interface: Added session ID's.
- Stereo Tool web interface: Fixed continuous reloads of preset menu.
- Stereo Tool web interface: Display of meters improved (colors were bad).
- Stereo Tool web interface: Since the first page loaded could be messy, now opening with Stereo Tool logo.
- Bug fix: Fixed 2 possible causes or NAN's.
- Bug fix/workaround: Improved NAN recovery handling.
- Bug fix: AGC: Window did not work properly with smaller AGC block sizes. Caused clicks and volume jumps.
- Bug fix: Clipper was recalculating certain tables on every call if both FM and non-FM processing were enabled (performance issue).
- Workaround: Some Linux versions sometimes fail to open the GUI. Using the same workaround that Chromium uses: Retry for a few seconds.
- SST: Added preset upload / download / delete.
- SST: Changed meter colors to visualize differences between types of meters.
- SST: Coupled Hard Limit to clipper on/off
- SST: GUI: Bass Boost: Relax limits on frequencies
- SST: Bug fix: Disabling FM output could make Normal output pre-emphasized (in very specific situations).
- SST: Updated help.
- SST: Ohio Valley and Blue Steel presets were using Pre Amp, which shouldn't be used in SST.
- SST / MicroMPX: Network: Added "Interface" (network port) selection.
- MicroMPX: Added web interface
- MicroMPX: Created display for packet reception, reset packets, timing, current playing position.
- MicroMPX: Network Quality of Service settings for low latency audio added.
- Allowing having a separate Normal Output separate processing clipping level if pre-emphasis for FM is disabled.
- Code change: Added templates to Parameter and HTTP Server classes to use them in MicroMPX as well.
- Reduced memory usage.
- Added ARM/Pi3 64 bit version, around 18% more efficient!
- Updated Omnia.9 and Omnia.9sg to the latest version of the code.
- Added, removed and updated presets.
