Stereo Tool

Stereo Tool 7.60 is released! Go to the Download page to download it.

List of changes:

• Added PNR Noise & Hum filter that removes constant tones (such as a 50/60 Hz hum) and reduces noise.
• Phase Delay: Solved multiple bugs that caused it to basically not work at all.
• Phase Delay: Increased range from 10 ms to 60 ms for more control.
• Phase Delay: Added settings to control the increase in latency.
• Multiband compressor: Added Band Coupling matrix which overrules the standard band coupling settings.

• Multiband compressor: Added band linking (different from already existing band coupling).
• Multiband compressor: Fixed distortion in limiters when using band coupling or linking.
• Advanced Clipper: ABDP: Drop in output when strongly clipping around 2600-4000 Hz is reduced.
• Advanced Clipper: ABDP: Made deep bass slope smoother. Result: Warmer, more open, less 'restrained' sound.
• Advanced Clipper: ABDP: Added "Sloppy" slider. 0.5 dB more highs, less pumping, but more distortion.

• Advanced Clipper: Highs Gap Protection: Drop in spectrum between 3.5-3.8 kHz now smoothed over 2.4-4.8 kHz.
• Advanced Clipper: Highs Gap Protection: Now stricter than before.
• Performance: Optimized band coupling in MB compressor; ignoring bands with coupling < 0.5%.
• Performance: Optimized Phase Equalizer. Replaced Convolution by complex Fourier transform multiplication.
• GUI: Improved layout for very high resolutions (2560x1920).
• GUI: Made CPU affinity more user friendly (pulldown and masks as backup)
• GUI: Split filters in Restoration / Processing.
• GUI: Display FM lowpass frequency at bottom when FM output is used.
• GUI: Made Configuration, Repair and Processing settings saveable separately.

• GUI: Made top section smaller in password protected mode
• GUI: Reorganized Advanced Clipper ABDP panel.
• GUI: Moved Phase Rotation and Phase Delay to correct place in menu and bottom bar.
• GUI: Made 2 lowpass freqs both visible.

• Re-recorded 'This sound is processed by Stereo Tool' sample which is played when using unregistered features.
• Bug fix: GUI: Fix crash when clicking on volume bars.
• Bug fix: GUI: Buttons could cause memory problems if the window is very small (texts get mangled).
• Bug fix: Potential GUI crash at certain display sizes fixed.
• Bug fix: Web Interface - Some pull-down menu settings don't match with main GUI.
• Bug fix: Improved HTTP server behavior on program close (could cause exception if it was processing a request).
• Bug Fix: Clipper crashed in multicore mode if there are more than 2 audio channels.
• Bug fix: Solved exception which occurred sometimes when loading presets.
• Added, updated and removed presets, among others added a microphone processing preset.
• Updated Russian translation.
• Added function to VST plugin to overrule RDS settings for Proppfrexx integration.

Oops: damn cache

Once again the well underpayed Hans Da Man delivers the goodies this is insane. Perfect delivery… again. Thx a bunch

VERY well done!

StereoTool the best audio processing in the world

I have a text improving suggestion:

As you see on picture the "Power bass" is used as main text in the left panel side.
So i suggest to use "Power sound" in the left panel and then the two different sections for bass and highs to be as they are now.
Because in this panel is not only bass but highs too. So the name must be "Power sound"

Also i suggest on older discyussion versions to change something in Declipper too - because of again not confortable listing . Just an order change. If not remember i can post it again.
