Stereo Tool

Don't urge Hans! If he sits at his computer all day long to finish the new version he may become constipated, too.


Found a special case of the '10 sec waveform display getting stucked' problem:

1. default settings, default ST window
2. now click the arrows to have the waveform shown on the right side
3. increase to 10 sec display
4. re-click the arrows to have the waveform back on the left -> it gets stuck

After restarting ST, so that one has 10 sec right from the start, everything is fine, though.

Is that with the latest beta? I just tried this and it keeps working...

Here they are; 2nd is with GUI:

I did take a quick look with ldd and saw that this is a 32-bit version. Can you mix a 32-bit client with a 64-bit jack?

Yes, beta 51, reliably reproducible here. Also note that ST will save the waveform display time as 10 sec when exiting. However after restarting ST it's automatically reset to 5 sec and therefore working fine again. Btw, hovering the mouse pointer over the waveform shown on the left will make it jump a bit further (no matter if stucked or not).
Maybe this problem depends on window size or position or something?

BETA 761-052A

Windows 32 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 61-053.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 61-053.exe
VST 32bit: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 61-053.dll

CHANGES:
- Make Limit before Compress switchable in old compressor as well
- Fixed Linux 32 bit version for Ubuntu 13/14 (probably a stack overflow issue caused by too aggressive optimizations)
- New (Analog mode) Limiter was broken in low quality mode

OLD CHANGES:
- Crash reported by Peter Kluyver - Not enough information. Occurred in 761-035, crash in ntdll.dll at 0x5b72E (exception 0xC0000005), not handled by Stereo Tool. No streaming via VLC used.
- Added second Multiband Compressor
- Added new Dequantizer filter to increase the bit depth of recordings.
- Added resampler for normal output to fix 2 output on different sound cards problem (for example FM on sound card and streaming via VAC/VB Cable).
- Added auto-restart behavior if buffers get too full or too empty.
- Added upto 10 seconds of audio delay for HD radio.
- Added support for built-in GUI skins
- Added option to show beta version number in title bar
- RDS: Added RT+ support.
- RDS: Fixed time zone 30 minute offset problem - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5941&p=28209#p28209
- GUI: Improved display for bigger screens.
- GUI: Increased maximum waveform display from 3.2 to 5 seconds.
- GUI: Made line around Phase Delay in bottom display less bright.
- GUI: Bug fix: Composite clipper used but not registered warning wasn't shown.
- GUI: Save settings .ini when saving the settings to any file.
- GUI: Fixed delay of Delossifier in display.
- GUI: Fix 'Load default values' question for MB #bands change.
- GUI: Improved Compressors gate and limiter display (new Analog mode only).
- Singleband Compressors: Don't allow Threshold values below 0.5 dB
- Compressors: Made a new Compressor implementation ('Analog'), based on the behavior of water pressure control systems and hydraulic automatically closing doors. Sounds better and uses far less CPU load.
- Compressors: Made new Limiter (only used in combination with new compressor mode).
- After-AGC Singleband Compressor: Added new Analog compressor mode with new limiter.
- Final Singleband Compressor: Added new Analog compressor mode with new limiter.
- Multiband Compressor: Added new Analog compressor mode with new limiter.
- Multiband Compressor: Band Link did not work in 3-band mode.
- Multiband Compressor: Added Freeze/Gate for all bands combined (Analog mode only).
- Multiband Compressor: Fix frequency band shift (10%, since 7.51 or 7.60).
- Multiband Compressor: Fixed a filtering issue when using Density Drive > 1.00
- Improved CPU performance a bit, on multiple places (clipper, GUI).
- Small performance optimizations.
- Optimized synchronization between sound cards code - factor 5 CPU load reduction.
- Multipath Clipper: Made it stricter (use Smoothing mode)
- Bug fix: Saving FM sound card issue in VST: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6027&p=29066#p29066
- Bug fix: Compressors: When gate is set to -99 dB, release stops working.
- Bug fix: GUI: Threshold and knee were labeled 'Speeds' instead of 'Levels'.
- Fixed 'uninitialized memory read' warnings (reported by Intel Inspector XE).(
- ProppFrexx integration: Added RDS control via VST (canDo, vendorSpecific)

WAITING FOR FEEDBACK 7.70:
- Wait for Matt Aaron's feedback about HD synchronization

TO DO 7.70:
- 10 seconds display gets stuck if in bottom left small display
- Exception NAN in Gray display (Edgar)
- Start of some presets is bad on load (too much gating) - fixed
- Flat Frequency Response is broken in Analog MB mode!!! Fix! (And adjust all presets that are using it to compensate)
- Memory leak occurs in all plugins
- Wait for Diggy Down FM (TURN DECLIPPER ON!) and Jesse Graffam's final streaming/AM/FM presets; answer from Nikolay Vachev; include Uptown FM preset, Sjoerd Wijdogen
- Check RDS time zone issue - apparently still not ok in Brazilian time zone
- Adjust Simple preset levels
- Adjust FM BS412 preset levels
- Wait for feedback on which presets to keep/remove/reorganize
- Release

TO DO 7.71:
- Change default preset (it still uses Classic compressor etc!)
- EQ with 'standard' sliders.
- Make BS412-like graph for levels
- Memory leak in Generic plugin (reported by Franciszek)

TO DO WITH LEIF:
- Clipper issues Leif / Wolf Stahl (probably the same thing)
- Stokkemask: try if I can move the data a few samples to make 2nd smoothing step unnecessary.


How to use RT+ in RadioText
Put \+xx before and \- after an item
where xx is an RT+ type number (00-63).

Instead of a number you can also use the codes
WW or UR for an URL (type 29)
AR for Artist (type 04)
TI for Title (type 01)

So for example:
Now playing \+ArMadonna\- - \+TiLike a Virgin\-

You can use at most 2 codes. For now, codes are transmitted for ALL the texts, so this only works properly if you have a static RT text. I might change that later.

I don't know, but I'll post the 64 bit versions soon enough when the build the release candidate. I hope to be able to do that tomorrow (still waiting for a few presets...)

Where did you add making Limit before Compress switchable? If it's the old multiband compressor, I don't see it.

Nevermind, I am truly a mess sometimes. I found it.

The saving issue (values cut off at 5) is fixed now. I also see the problem now; the right line (1 pixel) does get redrawn but for some reason the scrolling doesn't work. Will check this.
