BETA774-023

Windows 32 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 74-023.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 74-023.exe
Windows VST 32 bit: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 74-023.dll

Raspberry Pi 2:
http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... ETA774-008 (008!)

CHANGES:
- Bass In Your Face: Add global On/Off button. Maybe DIFF too?
- Bass In Your Face: Rename to Warm Bass
- Bass In Your Face: Reduced levels to 150% and 100%. Previous values sometimes appeared to add a bit too much bass.
- Make it possible to output lower FM output level in plugin when outputting L/R deemphasized. Input too
- Check Delayed Bass Clipping: Relative sensitivity. Doesn't work according to Bojcha. -> It does work, might not do what it should, that's something for later.
- Check this issue: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6205#p30514 -> At 44.1 kHz, the maximum frequency is reduced to 22050 instead of 24000, this causes the change. No effect for normal situations (I haven't seen a single preset yet with a highest band frequency set above 22050).
- Check this issue: http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/eMkIH9ux/file.html -> Unable to reproduce it. However, the same code was called both from GUI and from processing, that might be bad - added a lock. Wait for feedback, if not fixed make locked area bigger.
- Server: Protect against memory reallocation fails when zooming out of waveform display (one of the few places where I allocate memory after starting) - probably fixed now.
- Change version number to 7.80
- Maybe combine Warm Bass with Bass Boost? -> NO

OLD CHANGES:
- Bass In Your Face: Reduce CPU load, move allocations to .h file.
- Bass In Your Face: Fix DIFF mode.
- Bass In Your Face: Determine GUI mode for each setting.
- Thimeo framework: Check why normal framework now asserts on startup/latency change. - Probably ok now. Still not 100% happy with this solution though...
- Show warning when sample rate is too low for stereo/rds
- Show warning that declipper display doesn't work when using Ignore High Frequencies.
- Set separate clipping level for normal output.
- Bass In Your Face: Reduced bass rumbing effect on voices.
- I *think* that this version fixes the crash that several people reported.
- Bass In Your Face: Filter out pre-ringing.
- Bass In Your Face: Remove weird sounds in DIFF mode.
- Moved Bass In Your Face to after Multibands.
- Made Bass In Your Face slope to the right configurable.
- Added 2nd Bass In Your Face band, you can now boost both mid-bass and deep bass

- Fix Thimeo engine: Winamp version crashed if input is 192 kHz
- Fix Thimeo engine busy - some bugs left to fix. Winamp version also asserts in multiple places a while (FIXED). Winamp version is ok except at start - when starting in Thimeo mode it can hang (low latencies) or sound bad (higher latencies) (FIXED). At least one cause is that waiting for readReachesWriteEvent times out (FIXED).
- Reduced bass rumbling in Bass In Your Face, made frequency configurable.
Added initial version of Bass In Your Face
- Half-way busy with improving the Dequantizer - Done
- DFT pre-allocate memory!
- Fix Thimeo engine busy - some bugs left to fix - still more issues to be fixed. OS_WAITEVENT(hq_continue) might be placed incorrectly (not same for chain and chain_hq) or might not be needed at all. OS_WAITEVENT(hqThreadDescription[number].process_ready_event) to be checked. Why does the CPU meter stay close to 100%? That must be a bug. Move Performance meters to see where this happens. Audio is ok though in both plug-in and stand alone. Still broken but at least kinda usable now. Problems: Optimized code doesn't run (stereo_tool.cpp, warning). Sometimes shift in timing. Hangup when switching to different latency, then switching from Thimeo to old framework. EXACT PROBLEMS: Hangup when switching Thimeo OFF in Latency 256. Sometimes hangups when switching at latencies 2048 and 4096. Sometimes jump-in-time at sound card restart after switching between Thimeo on/off (potentially only after changing size first?). Problem seems to be fixed now (at least on 1 latency setting) except for 1-second WAIT loop sometimes (FIXED), and optimized code isn't used (FIXED). Winamp version also asserts after a while. All versions hang on too high CPU load hangs (FIXED).
- ACR Stereo weird effect at latency 128, test track 'Drank & Drugs". - Was highpass filter, removed (for now!)
- Auto-reduce GUI speed when CPU load is too high.
- Enter license key: Add a 'Get from clipboard' button
- "Auto" synchronization mode - Stereo Tool attempts to detect if synchronization is needed by comparing sound card names. Might cause problems...
- Added Raspberry Pi 2 version (requires jackd2, uses NEON support so only works on Pi 2).
- New feature: Spectral Balance Compensation
- Bug: Winamp plug-in crash: set 'plug-in host latency' to a high value FIXED, was a threading/timing issue
- Bug: Console version: Error: -k: Key <xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyx> is invalid. FIXED but I don't understand why!
- Bug: GUI: If I set the quality slider to 50 or lower with Ignore High Frequencies set lower that 19kHz the FM output meter goes blank FIXED (I hope)
- Bug: Plus a new one...If I set the stokemask use area slider to zero multiple parts of the processing chain throw exceptions. --> I don't see this one but value 0 makes no sense anyway, I've changed the slider so it cannot go below 50% anymore.
- Bug: FM doesn't get turned off anymore when selecting a non-FM preset, this means that pre-emphasis stays enabled among others.
- Password login shows what you type - should show ******
- Bug: UECP PS/RT texts are sent through the Stereo Tool RDS parser, shouldn't be. -> Probably fixed, but I cannot test it (no UECP encoder here).
- Stokkemask Strictness was set to 2 by default, must be 3.
- Bug: 64 bit stand alone Windows crash, exception 0xc0000005, address 0x000000000000339b (WINMMBASE.dll) - might be a Windows 10 or driver problem! (see below, might be a Windows 10 bug or a driver issue) -> Confirmed, it cleaned up after some Windows updates.

TO BE DONE - NEEDED FOR RELEASE:
- Fix build errors (multiple modalities)
- Check crash reported by Wunjo -> Unable to reproduce, waiting for more info. -> Appears to be ok now??
- Change Bass In Your Face Voice protection setting to 1.0 instead of 2.5 (?). More tests needed, but seems MUCH better.
- Add presets
- Put in GIT - TOMORROW!!!
- Decide on final name for Bass In Your Face / Warm Bass / Natural Bass -> True Bass
- Add presets: Bojcha and wait for S.W. permission?

TO BE DONE - 9SG:
- Add AF method B via UECP!
- Nu is er de optie bij UECP “Use internal settings on connection drop”, dit lijkt goed te werken. Echter als de verbinding weer is hersteld, komen niet direct de gegevens ingesteld via UECP terug. Pas alle settings overnieuw worden gestuurd, zijn deze weer aanwezig in de 9SG. Zou dit niet gebufferd kunnen worden en zodra de connectie terug is, dit worden weergegeven?

TO BE DONE:
- Make new name version in build file /D_
- Add load/save presets to remote GUI.
- Dequantizer: Make the effect configurable for the lib build. And make it more configurable (final filter vs. first filter).
- Add a big warning when sound card buffers get too full or too empty about enabling Synchronization.
- Bug: Hans I think that you forgot the unrecoverable NAN error when adjusting the ND frequancies. I got exactly the same behavior in both of the multibands.
- Bug: Stereo Tool together with JACK Audio, for whatever reason as soon as I activate ASIO in 7.7x, it just quits out and doesnt open up anymore. Note that this even happens when the JACK server isnt even started up. Oh and I use the 64bit version because the 32bit version cant connect to JACK at all, it just says it failed, in the 64bit version at least it used to work fine. (I'm guessing that this is a Jack bug though - will test it here).
- Fix version with Thimeo engine latency in Winamp (50% higher on normal mode, 75 in Thimeo mode - before replacing readReached event by a switch it was 50% and 50%, I should be able to restore that - caused by looking at the wrong [][] values). Also, the Chain() thread should wait for the calculations to finish. Stand alone latency is ok.
- Check Delayed Bass Clipping: Relative sensitivity. Doesn't work according to Bojcha. It does work though, but maybe doesn't achieve its goal.

TO BE DONE - LATER (HIRE SOMEONE):
- Bug: Mac: After closing About box, main GUI remains unusable. And it's too small. Suggested fix: Disable for now, make a better About box later. Should be part of the planned Mac native GUI design.
- Bug: Mac: If you click the Help Button it will close Reaper. Not sure if this is supposed to happen. Also the Help-URL is not existing. Also part of the planned Mac native GUI design.

Most of my presets do, because I often only use three bands and having the highest crossover at a sensible place will cause the highest band frequency to be at enormous values, 24 kHz or better even above.

Look, you can`t hear anything above 20 Khz, most of people even above 18 KHz .. so don`t tell me you hear what is at 24000 . Even that 3 bands are SO less! Make them at least 5 and you will not need to set last band at 50 Khz ...damn..

The crossovers are less than half the values you stated, so I can definitely hear them.

What can be usual is somewhere between 1.5 and 6kHz (2 or 3 bands) [for the highest crossover]
Let's say one wants three bands with crossovers at 200 Hz and 6 kHz. Is this a sensible choice? (Anyhow, it should be ones choice alone.) In ST one would need to enter 37, 1095 and 32863 Hz (!) for the bands to achieve that, which is impossible. One could use 27, 1500 and 24000 Hz instead, but this makes the bands highly asymmetric, causing changes in sound and band flatness.

There's no need for more bands soundwise (for what I do) and I don't want to change that just for technical issues.

Woops, files weren't uploaded - they are now!

@\_/: you have a point. So I guess this does need to be fixed.

Hans, i must say that till now (15 minutes) of playing and i cannot get the NAN error.
Looks like fixed. If something appears, i`ll tell you.

Hans, no more issue's about switching to 023. Did it nice and easy :-)

About the name of warm bass, former BIYF, I first associated it with tube amp sound

b.t.w. I needed a screenshot to transpose my settings of former BIYF
