Stereo Tool

VST added unlicensed warning in top bar, add to site

That was the question; on loading we definitely want to select only processing/repair/broadcast by default, but what about saving? Should we by default save everything, or just processing/repair/broadcast. Anyway, you'll see how it works now.

This sounds like there might be a bug that gets triggered and either puts sometihing in a wrong state, or slowly moves out of control. Could be one of those CPU-related issues that we talked about a few pages back, if it only happens on your system and others don't see it.

Do you see anything strange if you look at the meters? Since you say it sounds dull, do you see that the high frequency bands are reduced more after some amount of time? Maybe a lot of limiting?

Well, one thing I see if I select the Stand Alone version of Stereo Tool is that the buffer for my input always Peaks at 100. Tries with different type of settings but motvind really seems to lower this at all. The other buffer levels seems ok though.

Oh, that's normal. The input buffer has no size, basically.

Ah, I was wondering about that. Using the standalone here, watching the input buffer fill up then reset to the middle of the range and fill up and reset, wash rinse repeat . . . didn't really understand what I was seeing.

I see, that Digital Multiband Drive is even lowered now to 18 db only. I don`t get it. Was 25, now 18, but must be at least 32.

I agree. I realize many of the ranges were "sanified" from the extreme tweakability of the old GUI, but I really like to have that degree of insanity. If not increase the limits of the sliders, can we please get the ability to enter more extreme numbers manually? I'm currently pushing the new Adaptive Multiband with Preamp, LLB, and AGC then outputting loudly into True Bass (because the SBB threshold only goes down to -30 -- another opportunity for wider limits) before attenuating with the Wideband. If I could toss all my gain boosts into the MB1 drive, that would be optimal, right?

Also, there are a lot of places where the limits have been sanified but the defaults have not changed. Shouldn't the defaults dictate the limits? For example, TrueBass Band2 Upper slope defaults to 96 dB/oct but the sanified UI limits only allow up to 64.

To reiterate, MB1 and SBB need greater limits: more drive for MB1, and a lower threshold for SBB. And many sliders need their limits changed to the planned defaults.

edit: Oh, also sometimes with a high Preamp, bypassing and unbypasing it'll be slightly slow to adjust, leaving bursts of loudness.
edit2: Is the SBB affected by the True Bass compatibility setting for Legacy level calculation? Or is that for the TB bands only?
