Yup, I think we're there. Still a few ideas for improvements but I've marked them as "future" improvements - they won't go into version 6.31 anymore. So please post those updates!

it would be good just to add ....

It's curtains for you. Curtains, you understand?!

O, I'm tempted to add them. I expect another big quality change when I do. But at this moment I have a good, working version that's a good replacement for version 6.30. So I'm really going to finish this version first.

Doesn't mean that the addition won't follow very soon.

I thought this would be a release candidate but I just found out that I forgot one thing: Replace the current relative highs sensitivity by an absolute value. Except for that, this version should be complete.

TODO:
- BUG: When switching from latency 512 to 4096, Loudness is broken. Fixed when you enable/disable shortcuts!
- BS412 final AGC default settings need to change
- When BS412 and Bass Boost are enabled, show a warning
- Drops still occur in BS412! --> Ow, it's not as sudden as I thought. Have to check this one... I suppose when there's a bigger drop than allowed I should briefly drop even further. But that should not be needed. I don't get it, something is wrong... Might be fixed now, test tomorrow - Drops are gone, checking if there's no effect on normal audio...
- Can 'Allowed highs distortion - strictness' be reduced to 1 now? (have to test that - I should at least enable that setting) - No, at least 2. Still have some doubts if 10 is better than 2 (difference is small). Leaving it at default 3 for now.
- Asymmetric bass reduction should not go below dynamic threshold
- Remove 1 preset (there are too many for proper display in the GUI) - No, shrunk font instead
- Maybe sort them differently? - No
- Take bass clipping into account with BS412 (will allow bass boost etc. to be used without too many issues) - Bad - unwanted effects, just use a proper bass limiting setting and this won't have much effect anyway.
- Add Bangkok FM preset - Done, but waiting for feedback from Bojcha on some questions
- Fill in a correct level for each preset to make it sound good with BS412
- Add extra setting to configure dynamic bass clipping level sensitivity differently for high frequencies.Done, works great , but I need to find a good default value -> 0.50, and add loading/saving.
- Split values for Singleband AGC for BS412. Will fix the sound of Bojcha's Addiction preset.
- Add Bojcha's Naomi One FM preset
- BS412 upspeed must be slower, now you can (very very slightly) hear a difference in volume occurring.
- Fix bug: Volume sometimes drops to 0 when BS412 is disabled and doesn't come back even if you press RESET. Haven't seen this one the last few days - assuming that it's solved...
- Replace highs sensitivity RELATIVE slider by ABSOLUTE slider
- Clip output in declipper 1.11 still gets switched on on restart
- Release
Future: Sensitivity calculation: Calculate WHERE exactly the bass needs to be dropped, and ignore start.
Future: BS412: If there's some silence near the tail of the 60 seconds, reduce up-speed so we don't have to drop again. Maybe even a separate calculation which takes silence into account?

Can this slider be fixed for standalone ?

It's super-slow (mouse scroll / keybord cursors)

In DSP version:

By mouse-scroll is increased or decreased every 10 Hz, only reaching the maximum is 327 Hz and 500 Hz instead of
So if you go to the maximum, when it returns, the values ​​are 327, 317, 307, etc..

On the keyboard is really slow.

lol .. indeed.. works good up to 327

mouse scroll 10Hz step is good. On keybord cursors should be by 1Hz step. Page up/down is also ok with 100Hz step.

I was playing around with some presets, then i get this...
I loaded the preset phoenix - i am no 6, onley the final clipper was turned on, loudness and hard limit where turned off, same for all other presets, i've tested it. Then when i load preset mirage mx20, the loudness and hard limit are on and the final clipper off. When i turn back to preset phoenix - i am no 6, the loudnes and hard limit stayed on and the final clipper is off.

Realy strange.

Tested with DSP 631-020

Any chance you were mixing the 'generic presets' and 'webradio presets'? Because then this would make sense.
