Stereo Tool

Stereo Tool 7.84 is released!

Changes:

• Improved quality of bass, ringing artifacts cleanup filter caused some clicking effects in low bass (Since v 5.00!).
• Added 8x oversampled non-phase linear Butterworth de-emphasis to match some hardware unit's pre-emphasis.
• Sound cards: Added backup sound card support (sound card 1 switches to 2 after some silence).
• True Bass: Add highpass filter for lower latencies because it can cause very low subs, caussing problems on FM.
• Highpass filter: Improved non-phase linear HPF a bit, works better when used after other filters now.
• ASIO: Only claim the channels that are actually in use.
• ASIO: Add 'already in use' as possible cause to ASIO claimBuffers error message.
• ASIO: Added Left/Right indications in dropdown list.
• ASIO: Changed default channels to disabled except for Normal Output and Input.
• ASIO: Add more output selections - Increased from 8 to 32.
• Ignore High Freqs: Added Auto frequency option. Determines lowest possible value for max CPU load reduction.
• PNR: Settings now stored in .sts file for VST plugins (partial fix of the problem).
• Clipper: De-esser: Changed default value, now disabled by default. Reduces the CPU load.
• GUI: MPX display disabled when waveform display is disabled.
• GUI: Improved RESET, now gives preferred values instead of traditonal values needed for old preset compatibility.
• GUI: Disable Composite Limiter slider when Hard Limit is disabled.
• GUI: Bug fix: Phase Delay was not grayed out in Bypass mode.
• Bug fix: Some settings were net reset when loading a default preset in previous version.
• Bug fix: VST: GUI-related hiccups in Adobe Audition.
• Bug fix: Synchronization to external RDS signal could sometimes have a hiccup due to a threading issue.
• Bug fix: BS412 level calculation was wrong for L/R instead of MPX output when using non-Pre-emph output.
• Generic Plugin: Add function to Get parameter values.
• Added new presets.

... and HAPPY NEW YEEAHr !!

Did anything change with how you signed the Windows installer for the latest release?
The 7.84 installer gave me a message about the publisher not being trusted, or something like that, and I don't remember seeing that before...
Thanks!

Happy new Year !

I found that Ingore HF is not ignore at the pointed frequency.
I remember when i test this and was OK - may be was 7.73, don`t remember tha right version . But now it "ignores" at +600 Khz up.
I found it when i play with the lowpass and when i set it to default(right click), i was surprised because i remember when Bojcha said that at 16200 still not "touching" the RDS.

Now i see that if i disable the bandpass or set it to default, signal goes +600 Khz and if IHF is 16200 , actual is 16800.
It`s not bad to check what causing this "offset".

Ignore High Frequencies chooses a frequency that is at least the frequency that you selected, but it can be higher. Because there are some other requirements that need to be fulfilled (for one, the latency (4096) * the sample rate (say 48000) / the Ignore High Frequencies frequency must be a multiple of 32, and the Ignore High Frequencies frequency must be a whole number. And if you change the Quality slider more requirements get added.
