Was the Dutch Moose preset updated a little bit quieter than in 9.00?

Hi Hans, Great work on the new builds, sounding sweet. Just a few points I've come across:

I just downloaded the version from the homepage (for Winamp) and it's reporting 9.00 as the version number, not 9.01
It's 9.01 here (I just downloaded and installed it from the site). Might be a browser cache issue on your end? If you just downloaded the previous version...
Is this just a cosmetic issue, or the build for Winamp wasn't updated? |

Im using the 64 bit vst version STEREO TOOL 9.01 (JUNE 26TH 2018) inside Reaper.Resizing the window causes white blank screen flashes
Resizing doesn't seem to be really supported in VST plugins. And until 8.54 I didn't support it at all. I found a trick to do it, which appears to work (and I actually tested it in Reaper, because so far it's the only program I've found that supports resizing of VST windows). I do see some white flashing while making the window bigger, but when I stop, everything looks fine.I'm not drawing anything white myself, that's probably Windows.... If it just flashes but looks fine when you stop resizing (as it is on my end), it's just how it works... it things are worse (you end up with a broken display), let me know - in that case I'll just have to completely disable resizing support again. Please send me a screenshot or if possible a video in that case! |

Hi Hans,
Hi,Great work on the new builds, sounding sweet. Just a few points I've come across:
1. Can you try if this was ok with version 8.54? Someone else reported this before I released version 9, and because of that I (thought I) removed all the changes w.r.t. Windows DPI sizes for VST plugins. This issue ONLY seems to affect Audition though. Long story here, but Windows DPI support was added in Windows 7, changed in Windows 8 and changed again in Windows 10, and every program has to indicate which things it supports or doesn't support. In this case, the problem might be caused by a conflict between how Audition handles it and how Stereo Tool handles it. I have restored the default settings (let Windows handle it, I don't resize myself), which *should* have fixed this issue - and it works fine in every other program I've tested, including older Audition versions. So right now I don't know if this is a bug in Audition or in my code. Could you do 2 things? 1. Test version 8.54 2. Make a screenshot of how the window looks and send it to me (or post it here). DO NOT resize the image, as I need to be able to see if Windows is resizing the image that I'm sending to it, and the Audition part of the window. If you set your DPI size to 100% the issue should be gone - but then everything is probably way too small (I'm assuming you have a 4K screen?) Quote:
Of course both can also be used for 24/7 processing, and in that case the VST nags are way over the top,. but it's not really possible to see which of the two is happening. Quote:
How do you see that there are overshoots? Possible causes: - If you're actually running it in Winamp: The Windamp equalizer might be used. Or the volume slider in Winamp could be used, which causes audible artifacts if it's not set to 100% full! - Source material: If it's not a lossless file, different decoders might sound different. Very different even in some cases. - Sound card: I think Winamp by default uses MME, a VST program might use Wasapi, Kernel Streaming. If the sample rate doesn't match what's set in Windows, Windows will resample any MME audio and the resampler causes clearly audible artifacts, and overshoots. So if you're measuring Winamp's output you could very well see overshoots that are generated by the Windows resampler. - Some programs purposely send a different signal to a Winamp/DSP plugin than to a VST plugin. There are many DSP plugins that only support 44.1/48 kHz and sound weird if you feed it something else, and some programs "protect" DSP plugins by resampling any audio to a standard sample rate. If they convery back afterwards, that can also lead to overshoots. - Some programs oversample audio to overcome bad quality lowpass filters in sound cards. If they show the oversampled audio, you might again see overshoots, and on low quality sound cards, the sound might improve. Note: There is a DSP plugin that lets you run VST plugins, so you can run the VST plugin in any program that supports DSP plugins. That's probably the safest way to compare. As soon as you use different programs to compare things, there are far too many variables. |

Just taking note of some new "Factory Reset" defaults: True Bass: Old was Band 1 and 2 strengths = 1.25 and 1.00, new is 1.00 and 0.50 AutoEQ and BassEQ: Old was Kick Speedup = 0.25, new is 1.00 Basstardizer: Old was "Place in Chain" = "After Multibands", new is "Between Multibands" |

9.01 is coming today. It will fix nearly every issue that was reported on 9.00 in the last few days.
Maybe one of the new Ryzen+, or Threadripper setups? Seems like they would be pretty good for compiling these days. Especially for the price vs Intel's options in the high core count market.
I finished it on Saturday evening - unfortunately running a full build, even on my 4.2 GHz GHz i7 with 32 GB of memory and SSD drive, takes about 30 hours now (I have some ideas to speed it up, will look into that soon - I hope to be able to get it below 10 hours again so I can run a build in one night again). |
