Stereo Tool

oh, i kinda likes the old meter behavior, the new one is sort of backwards when it operates (9.92 beta 5).

for me, im not so into the fancy GUI looks, i prefer advanced displays and advanced settings over "candy" looking GUI's and simpleton settings.
i havent tried ST 10 because it seems the GUI and settings are geared for "dummies" and i dont like that, unless there is a checkbox to revert the GUI to "advanced" for people like me. (i have not read the thread discussion completely)

I mean, give it a try before deciding it's not for you.

It has all the previous UI's functions, just most settings are tucked and folded down. While I would like a simple function to unfold all functions to densify it, it's far from being overly simplistic. I can't count how many times I've had to get people to enable a higher operating mode and then decide the software was just too overwhelming. They're far from "dummies" or "simpletons"... they're just not audio aficionados.

Complaining about the future UI in the old UI thread is not the way to make it better or improve it for your use.

Oops, that was broken. Will fix it in the next build. This direction-in-which-meters-are-drawn thing is really WAY more difficult than it should be (mainly in the old GUI)...

De-Esser still does not have button to be disabled fully.

an older version of ST, i think from 3-4 years ago, had this adjustment setting of +7.23 that would disable it (evidenced by the greyed out slope adjustment) but you can no longer do this with the newer versions unless your saved settings already had this value previously.
you can also edit the settings file and manually enter a value to disable it.

Yeah i know, now we don't have even that (+7.23). And if i need to use ini file to fix simple things like this i will fully switch to command line version or whatever uses nogui.

i should mention, there are many settings that have changed/disappeared from older versions, that can only be adjusted from the settings file if that previous setting exists in the file.
for example, the window setting for the legacy AGC, its gone, however, i realized the "current" AGC window setting affects the legacy AGC window setting.
so in fact, there are some settings for the "current" modules that do affect the legacy modules.
"aggressiveness" for MB1 digital/analog is also gone but the setting still remains in the settings file (if you had ST prior to when "aggressiveness" disappeared.)
a shame for first time installers as i dont believe those legacy settings exist in a newly created settings file.
glad i started with ST years ago and kept the same settings file since then.

I can't tell you how bad and unusefull is "current" AGC with bugged and wrongly maded Window. And band control in more then 1 band is story for itself.
