Stereo Tool

HOLY F---

That is too much...!

Hans went and jumped off the Stratosphere, oh God.

hans was the camera stuck to your arm of something or was it just a normal camera with a strap?

They had what they called a "wrist cam", so indeed strapped around ones wrist.

They added that after I moved out of Vegas. I did do the roller coaster, and the rocket chair thing on the top when I lived there, but I would love to do that free fall thing. Probably the best ride on the strip now.

Great jump! Glad you survived.

While looking into this further I've actually discovered several bugs in my clipper design. Still thinking about how to solve it - if I find a good solution it will solve *all* these bugs at once.

Bojcha, I think I've fixed the issue, but I see very little difference between the old and new version - and also if I turn the bass protection on (with settings at 100%) or off. Am I missing something?

And constant bass is clipped now (?)

Ah, now things are starting to make sense.

The bass clipping should be close to what happens without ABDP - but I guess with that disabled you still don't get enough clipping at bass sounds.

What I fixed is a bug that could cause spikes to get higher (and less flag) than they are directly after bass clipping. Which may also explain the asymmetrical bass issues.

What I have not done, but I can easily do it, is allowing more harmonics at low frequencies. This makes little difference when the bass is not constant - but if it is constant it should have a big effect.

This must also mean that constant tones are not flat enough without ABDP - but it gets better when you increase the "Dirty Bass" slider, which indeed increases the level of very deep (below 50 Hz) bass sounds by about 0.8 dB, and also makes the output look far more constant, but it doesn't work at all at higher frequencies (100+ Hz). I need to make something new for those.


27 Hz tone at +12 dB. Top: Dirty Bass at 0%. Bottom: Dirty Bass at 500%.

Oddly, I had a filter like this in Stereo Tool 3.20

I think that's where John Burnill (MBL/SONOS) did some work, I'm not sure. But the Inovonics FM multiband I think had something to do with his code in it. The unit with the round red LED's.. very 1980's looking.

The David III is a popular budget/community station audio processor. Quite a few friends in the industry know what Inovonics are, especially for their mod monitors. The David IV is about a year old now I think. I have it on my comparison wishlist beside Broadcast Warehouse DSPX's.

Can't wait to see some GUI overhaul snap-shots of stereotool in the future One day if I win the lottery I would love to go visit NAB in America. All those toys

Cheers,
Gavin.

edit: You jumped at night! Would have been more scary during the day I reckon.
