Stereo Tool

Something still seems to be wrong with this beta and/or with your Preset "Analog Pleasure".

This Preset sounded excellent with beta 051, but now the output is distorted.

I am running the DSP Version with SAM Broadcaster.

Streaming, FM?

CHANGES:
- 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
- Wait for feedback on which presets to keep/remove/reorganize
- Adjust Simple preset levels
- dsp_declipper.dll build fails in IPO -> Not in Visual Studio...
- Fix crash when switching presets -> was caused by Stokkemask clipper variable updates during processing.
- Adjust FM BS412 preset levels
- Check Analog Pleasure FM sound vs. streaming and Unveil and BS412
- Check RDS time zone issue - apparently still not ok in Brazilian time zone

OLD CHANGES:
- 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).
- Compressors: Made Limit before Compress switchable in old (Digital) compressors.
- 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: Linux 32 bit version is working again in Ubuntu 13/14 (was a compiler optimization bug)
- 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:
- 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.
- Add 'warm' noise before clipper (requested by Andrew Palmquist, might help with PPM as well)


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.

Programs that display the version string of the DSP DLL externally, still report it as 7.60, not 7.70. Seems like a version string somewhere is yet to be updated.

How "externally"? Winamp shows 7.70 in its interface... Some programs might not update without a rescan?

Hi All

Firstly many thanks to Hans for all the work that has gone into this yet again

Also for everyones input to show up bugs

Bojcha has helped me loads with set up etc

So running latest 7.70 final 64bit with Diggy Down Streaming Preset by Bojcha with ESI Julia soundcard calibrated this is on test today

Please take a listen http://46.28.49.164:7412/stream this is just 128k Mp3 using Edcast

Thanks again all
Matt
