Stereo Tool

Can you send me your settings? This must be triggered by some setting, and that will help me to see which one.

PM sent.

Hello Hans, I like the aggressive work of the Advanced Clipper in BETA 042 there are more adjustment ranges, what I like is of course most people do not like the work of limiters and sharp bursts of sound. But still, I like the old modes of operation (Non Adaptive Mode). I use MB1 as a multiband compressor, MB2 as a multiband limiter. Some modes, such as the overload effect, give a special sound in styles (Metal, DarkWave, EBM, etc.). Sparkling high ones require setting the "offset" parameters and higher frequencies and intensity, I change every time after the new release of a new BETA, which is very useful sometimes. in BETA045 ADBP, the intensity mode of the cutoff and slope of frequencies has disappeared. Level control in Advanced Clipper is necessary for both RMS and PEAK (maybe even adjustment) so that you can keep the signal level if suddenly the frequencies slipped to lower either high, medium or low (according to the ADBP setting). And I also want to note that it is better not to remove some settings so that users can choose the operating modes. That's why I'm not switching to BETA045

Confirmed, something broke between 041 and 042. I hope that this isn't the reason why it suddenly sounds so much better (I don't think so... but the effect is huge, and I see it with my own clipper settings as well now, if I just feed loud unprocessed audio). I'm going to get both versions from our archive and try to find what causes this.

Edit: Found & fixed it. I'll run a new build tonight.

Hello kastyak_, I'm not fullly following what you're writing. So can you explain?
Since you mention Adaptive, are you talking about the clipper or the compressors? I assume you mean you're using Adaptive compressor mode with specific clipper values?
Ok, clear. That's how most old-compressor presets work.

What do you mean by "overload effect"? Clipping way too hard??
The offset parameter made the frequency *lower*, not higher. So are you saying that you liked the sound that you go when you lowered that frequency? I can kinda imagne that it would add some form of distortion to metal indeed. Usually that sounds pretty bad though (kinda broken).

The main reason for "Highs billiance" was to let more highs get through (and make them sound different; looking at the spectrum, values > 2 seem to have no impact on the spectrum anymore, the loudness stays the same and the spectral content doesn't change either. Which is why I figured that the old range was waaaaaay too big - and high values do cause some (really annoying, imo) effect in the highs.
I don't know what you're saying. The Advanced Clipper doesn't do anything with RMS, and what do you mean by slipping frequencies?
The main complaint about Stereo Tool is that there are way too many settings. In this specific case, we checked all these settings and removed anything that was making the sound worse. I can imagine that someone could like some specific effect, but there were lots of settings in the composite clipper that did very little or only had negative effects, and I really don't want to keep those, except in Legacy mode.

Please let me know *exactly* what you are using and why, then I can have a look at it.

I'm sorry for my bad English.

No worries! I hope I guessed your language correctly.
I find using Google's Gemini AI to translate works MUCH better than the basic Google Search translation function. This will help English speakers understand more clearly.
I highly recommend non-native English speakers try this, it's fantastic. I use it to translate from English to other languages and keep it sounding natural (it knows by context which version of a word to translate to).

Polski:
Mam nadzieję, że mój domysł co do Twojego języka jest trafny.
Uważam, że tłumaczenie za pomocą sztucznej inteligencji Gemini od Google jest o WIELE lepsze niż podstawowa funkcja tłumaczenia w wyszukiwarce Google. To pomoże anglojęzycznym użytkownikom w lepszym zrozumieniu treści.
Gorąco polecam wszystkim użytkownikom, którzy nie są native speakerami języka angielskiego, aby wypróbowali tę funkcję – jest naprawdę fantastyczna. Korzystam z niej do tłumaczenia z angielskiego na inne języki, a tłumaczenia brzmią naturalnie (program rozumie z kontekstu, którą wersję słowa należy przetłumaczyć).

Posted BETA047!

The bass issue that aTom posted is fixed.

Aside from this, this new version has, PURELY FOR TESTING, RDS2 carries that you can turn on to see if there's any effect on audio quality or reception. There's no data transmitted yet (the code to generate the RDS2 bits isn't there yet and just returns random bits). Please test this only in composite clipper mode; non-composite does not yet make room for the extra data and will be heavily affected by Hard Limit.

I think you posted BETA046 in the name of BETA047

Oh, I hadn't noticed that there are build errors. The 32 bit stand alone is fine but 64 bit didn't build. Ugh.

Edit: Full rebuild is running, but the 64 bit stand alone is uploaded now.
