Stereo Tool

This one is only interesting for Camclone (and anyone else who wants to use SCA channels).
It turns out that in previous BETA's the SCA code wasn't working anymore because some time ago I accidentally deleted all my changes Ok I restored most, but apparently I missed one file. That's fixed now. On top of that, the SCA channel should now be filtered better (RDS is protected), and it's read in a separate thread (which means no more hiccups or clicks when there's too much or too little data).

No further changes. This only affects the stand alone version.

TODO:
- Fix loading changed multiband frequencies
- Add buffer and filter for SCA output 1 day (SCA1 ok, SCA2 not yet)
- Finish AGC improvement ? - make mono value configurable (replace checkbox by slider) 1 hour --> NO, not needed - anything else needed?
- Fix Punch making it dynamic will cost 1 day
- Check what to do with new filters (such as bass AGC) - keep them, remove them, change them?
- Loudness: Annoying cracking sound in bass. Slightly present in 5.00, worse in 6.00, maybe even worse in 6.10. Only when bass is too loud. Much worse than in Final Limiter (at same input level!) - so this clearly indicates a bug. Most likely cause: The filter that was added to remove bass artifacts....... - No, it's the louder bass. But it can be fixed by changing some settings. Default settings updated, and behavior for 'not Very strict' improved. Also Deep bass boost and Very deep bass protection are enabled for latency 512 now.
- Change version number 1 hour
- Release 1 hour

Hi Hans!

The settings for the Bass AGC are not saved in presets and were also reseted after restart (I switched Bass AGC on and after restart it's off...).

Other case: In the VST-Version it's impossible to use the Pre- and Post-Amp-Sliders with the Mousewheel.

Other question: The upper level-meter, does it shown the original input level oder may it be processed after preamp and/or AGC?

Thanks for answers!

Hi Maic,

1. I know, this isn't finished yet. Some sliders don't even work yet!

2. Mouse wheel - didn't know that...

3. Original input level.

2. Did you mean, you don't know a mouse wheel??? Or did you mean, you don't know about the problem?

1. Then I will be wait for release...

3. Thanks! For a "nicer" GUI, is it possible to add a db-scale to the level-meters? I normally use ST in standalone-version during my radio-shows, I like to see how it works...

Somethig planed for multiband for next build ?

( i m using the latest beta!! yes it works perfectly , acceptably !! )

SOS SOS, can i have a serial number with SCA enabled ?
( my serial doesnt support sca !! ) ( only the special version made for me was playing sca without limitations. )

1) with this version i dont have clicks any more on sound of SCA !!! perfect !!!!
2) i also saw that ! , very clean spectrum and no confcicts any more even at the most processed sound!!
3) my radiostation is THE ONLY one in Greece who broadcasts SCA audiio )) , i cannot compare it with others! ,, BUT i am sure that SCA audio sounds like AM radiostations but..more clean of course!! , so maiby you can cut some frequencies ? ( high frequencies? , )

YOU MUST...BUY A CHEAP 15 EUROS SCA RECIEVER..FROM CHINA!! ))

THANK U FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
SELL THAT " sca encoder " THING !!!
( private, hidden music program for...stores, supermarkets!! )

Camclone: You have a new key

I'm starting to think more and more that the 1st 7 kHz lowpass filter really isn't needed - I'll build another version soon without it for testing.

hans,

can you also send me new serial.. im alse getting message unregistered options in use.

thx,

Martijn

I`m sorry i`m late boys
Here I am .
Hans found a bug in ST 6.10 Stand Alone version .... try to BYPASS ALL checkbox ... and hold on for a moment , did You hear some fast speed sound playing and repeat ...?

Gooooooooooooooooood News !!!!!!!!!!!

Using the latest beta i found that SCA 92 khz works too !!!!!!! ( not only 67 khz but 92 too !!!!!!!!! )

Both SCA freqnencies sound loud and clear!! ( FM mode of course, AM mode doesn't work at all! just remove it !


So, using a realtek onboard soundcard we CAN broadcast both SCA frequencies !!

( can you make the SCA freqnencies to NOT lower the volume of normal sound when they are enabled ? ) MPX limiter doesnt limit SCA as i can see now , is this possible to make SCA to now lower the overal volume ?

( SCA at 9.7 % with full processed sca imput is excellent for the lowest possible backround noise )
