• Console version: Read sample rate and bit size from WAV header
• # bands selections should allow option to insert a band instead. Or ask what to do when you change it.
• AES67 thread affinities and priorities

• Regarding new slider behavior:
  • Double clicking the current position of the slider will open a dialog where you can manually enter a value.

About the new mouse behavior:
Slider behavior in Stereo Tool did not conform to how sliders usually work.
To sum up the changes that become enabled when "Old mouse behavior" is turned off in Configuration:

• Clicking in the slider bar sets the slider to that position and allows dragging.
• Clicking on the current position of the slider "grabs" the slider without moving it, and allows dragging.
• Holding CTRL will significantly slow down the movement, allowing for much more precise tweaking. The same if you click the right mouse button while dragging.

Hello Hans,
This is a suggestion, would it be possible to fix in the cursors, the numbers on the one hand and on the other hand the technical terms translated on 2 levels in the cursor, because in their movements the terms are often truncated.

Hi Hans,

Would it be an option to implement an "global" checkbox for easy/quick adjusting multiple bands at once?
So you can quickly move all the sliders of let's say the limiters in multiband 1 to a certain level an from there you can finetune it?

It was an option in "Sound Solution" software, where it was called "global".

Maybe adding a choice that all the current values adjust from where they are now, or matching them with the slider you're adjusting?

Next question:
Can you make mids and highs clipping in the Advanced Distortion Protection visible with 2 small meters?

Last question: In the processing page you can quick adjust the bass, mids and highs. But you can only adjust them by large jumps. Can these be somewhat smaller maybe? I know i can do it manually in the multibands but this would be easier

Greetings and keep up the good work!!

BETA007 is available! Slider sensitivity has been updated for all sliders (if I didn't forget any).

I hope that the new slider behavior (see latest upload) is already making this easier than it was. I am trying to avoid adding more settings to the interface than what's already there (which is already quite a lot). And thresholds for example can be changed by changing the drive/output level or density drive settings.
Good idea... Yes.
The precision is 0.1 dB, that's not big? Am I missing something?

Hans, it might just be you haven't got to it yet, but the De-esser limit slider doesn't work in either new or old mouse behavior, you can have full on, full off or +7dB, it can't be adjusted to anything else.

Ah! I missed that one. Fixed!

BETA009 is available.

where can I download micrompx 2?

Oops! I forgot to post them. Just added the Wndows executables, will add the Pi executables after the next build (I cancelled the latest Pi build so I don't have the most recent version).
