Stereo Tool 9.10 is released!

Changes:
  • Added MicroMPX encoder.
  • Added The BIMP - built-in microphone processor with no added latency.
  • Latency: Now latency can be below 6 ms (measured analog input to analog MPX output).
  • Composite Clipper: Stokkemask: Redesigned Stokkemask filter to be much tighter, with far less effect on the audio.
    - Changed overlaps in measurement.
    - Measuring more often.
    - Using L-R reduction in early stages, total level reduction in final stages.
    - Updated Gaussian window sigma value.
    - Using more stages overall.
    It's also much heavier so legacy mode can still be used.
    Code:
    Measured effect of the old vs new Stokkemask filter on audio with extreme stereo content at +9 dB MPX power:
Sample rate	Old total	New total	Old L-R		New L-R
48000 Hz	-0.37 dB	-0.27 dB	-1.08 dB	-0.62 dB
44100 Hz	-0.33 dB	-0.22 dB	-1.17 dB	-0.63 dB
40000 Hz	-0.43 dB	-0.29 dB	-1.47 dB	-0.82 dB
  • Composite Clipper: Stokkemask: Sound depended on sample rate used, solved (for the new version).
  • Composite Clipper: Stokkemask: Replaced "Looseness" by a slider that moves the Stokkemask window.
  • Advanced Clipper: Improved filtering to reduce crackle (start of Kelly Clarkson - Because of You).
  • Advanced Clipper: Improved filtering in Controlled Distortion to avoid introducing crackle.
  • Made VST parameter names unique. Some programs apparently store by name instead of ID (which is wrong!).
  • GUI: Split Configuration into Configuration and I/O (stand alone version only).
  • GUI: Increased minimum window size.
  • GUI: Updated (increased) window size for VST plugin.
  • GUI: Stokkemask: Improved displayed graph, should be far more accurate than before.
  • Bug fix: GUI: Declipper input display looked bad for > 1 threads.
  • Bug fix: RDS: RT+ data was flashing on some receivers when the data was re-read.
  • Bug fix: RDS: UECP: Decoder was skipping short (4 bytes or less) commands at the end of a message.
  • Bug fix: MicroMPX/SST: GUI: License valid date showed 1924 instead of unlimited.
  • Bug fix: Dehummer: Continuous learning mode could base behavior on non-initialized data when increasing duration.
  • Bug fix: Advanced Clipper: "Limit instead" could stop working properly with certain settings.
  • Dehummer: Reduced minimum continuous learning time from 1 second to 0.1 second, to reduce reverb.
  • 30 euro Declipper home use version now also available for non-Winamp (DSP) versions.
  • Turned Advanced Bass Distortion Protection bass clipper asymmetry mode off by default.
  • Updated presets. Added the preset from the Processing Freakday 2018 - dozens of people requested that.
  • MicroMPX: Added multicast subscribe IP address.
  • MicroMPX: Rate limiter is enabled by default.
  • MicroMPX: License wasn't applied until a restart was done, solved.

Much better, you know what's really amazing ? I can now suddenly load 8.23 and even 7.84 settings we once used live and get a much improved sound without any problem or any distortion. Great job Hans, this new version.

Ah. There was an image that I think I fixed in version 9.02 (not completely sure anymore) that was affecting band linking - certain settings sounded really horrible (extremely distorted). Not sure if that's what you were hearing, but it might be. And it's solved now.

I did not find the Freakday 2018 Preset :?

did any of you notice small peaks or graphs of the waveform?

I noticed that it does so only if not full screen.

That doesn't have to be a problem. Depending on the window size, it could be that value 32766 is displayed on one pixel and 32767 on the next. Unless the output meter actually turned red I wouldn't worry about it.
