Stereo Tool

is it normal to keep getting...( this sound is processed by stereo tool..go to stereotool.com for information. ).. every 5 mins or so when de-clipper is on ?
this is only when de-clipper is on as far as i can tell.

and all-so when I turn on de-clipping it says unregistered options in use. ??
(and I have a registered copy)

but I do like the new de-clipping filter sounds good.

- Declipping filter added. Note: If you enable this filter, you'll get a 'This sound is processed by Stereo Tool' played over it every 60 seconds! The reason for this is that I want to release this filter as a new stand alone application as well, since it really seems to outperform all the well-known declipping filters (and on top of that it has a low latency!). I still have to decide how to put this into Stereo Tool.

Hi DUB<^>STEP,
I need to find a way to enable this for existing users, but not for unregistered users. And to be able to sell it separately later.

- I am Checking Alejanro.. clip there has good tilt, but recover of this peeks are not "constant" always .. and i can't make adjustment to make every peek recovered always.

Note that declipping uses a lot of CPU processing power (I'll make that configurable later).

The filter can be switched on or off at the right of the input level slider.

The 'maximum peak restore' slider does not work yet (dunny why, will check).

IMPORTANT: Set the 'clipping detection' level low enough such that ALL the clipped samples are recognized as being clipped (for a CD that's easy, 32767 should suffice, but for an MP3 you'll need to set it a bit - even upto 10%! - lower).

Hint: You can see that the declipping filter is working by comparing the input and output levels with NO other processing enabled.

IMPORTANT: Declipping can currently NOT be combined with non-phase linear highpass filtering!!!

Samples that are incorrectly seen as not-clipped (level set too high) can have a big effect on the audio.
Samples that are incorrectly seen as clipped (lever set too low) make things harder because basically Stereo Tool must treat them as if they are clipped at the selected level. So basically you add extra clipping before removing it.

Later I'll add some code for dynamic clipping detection. (Something with a histogram I guess).

That track isn't really clipped - there is no clipping distortion etc. Also, if you look at the waveform and consider the clipped filters as 'missing' you wouldn't be tempted to draw a big spike. So this filter won't fix that (I'm working on something that might, but that's not finished yet).
This declipping filter ONLY fixes HARD clipping.
