Stereo Tool

I just saw now that the dB range of the vertical volume meters is incorrect (and differs from the horizontal display) - there are too many blocks in it, which might also explain the problem with the yellow block.

Edit: FIXED.

I suggest different color for MB instead of Blue at the top
( not that visible )
May be Green->Yellow->Red is the default colors for this type of indicator.

For cancel button in the register option , yes Bojcha is right for what he saying.
The last active window is returned when press cancel.
There is a bug actually like i report.

some compromise.. ?


colors should present:
- blue - very light compression and amplification.
- green - some normal compression and mild amplification
- Yellow - ideal compression vs range
- Red - you don't want to go there

Done:
- Optimize text display code (place_zoomed_text_new, using LUT, similar to scopes)
- Fix button click behavior (button must be deactivated, focus must be restored when closing registration window)
- Vertical volume bar showed 32 dB instead of 30
- Too big spaces removed
- 2 rows visible at height 768
- Left menu changed; separated Configuration from Processing and moved both to top level. Question: Should I move Configuration to the bottom?? Or even move the one that's not active to the bottom?
- Left menu maximum width reduced
- Changed width of MPX signal display
- BS412 display updates did not always occur in the BS412 panel.

TODO:
- PHASE ROTATION BROKEN AT LOW LATENCIES
- Remember old location in left menu per section. So if you open Processing you go back to Processing -> Stereo -> AZIMUTH for example. Or would that be annoying? You might expect to go to Processing overview screen...
- Add bandpass, FM (via MPX panel!), latency/quality and maybe sound cards to bottom display.
- Clean up button bar (remove some things and move to Configuration view?)
- What to do with FM settings? Move to config?
- Check crash in command line version (in Enabled refresh function - probably related to loaded parameters - is that even possible? Cannot reproduce it anymore...)
- Pull-down scroll bar appears when it's not needed
- After scrolling with scroll bar, mouse hover doesn't work anymore
- Implement mouse wheel and cursor keys for sliders
- And a warning in the buttons bar if unregistered options are in use, or change 'Register' button color.
- Display last loaded preset name, if possible also with whether it has been changed and keeping it on restart
- Same for new version alerts.
I think I can put both between the buttons in the button bar if the screen is wide enough, if not I can put it above the button bar in the section above it isn't too big. Not sure if that's a good idea though, maybe I need to do something else instead (for example combine buttons such as Help and About if the screen isn't wide enough).

Less urgent for usability:
- Design (several people are working on something)

For later:
- Multi-language support
- Add basic/advanced modes
- Add '-6' '-12' etc. beside output bars where possible.
- Context sensitive Help (help button should be next to the preset buttons)
- Drag (resize window parts) lines, also between to/bottom part (scopes/meters).

Some mess in Soundcards > Input

Yep, confirm the mess

Mess fixed.

I just discovered that phase rotation is broken at lower latencies (1024 and 512), probably also in version 6.32! So avoid it for now...

Few usability improvements (you can now click on volume meters to go to the volume settings)
I think I fixed a bug in the clipper, which may have some effect on the audio (?).
Natural Dynamics can be enabled by changing the setting OVERRIDE_ShowNaturalDynamics to 1.

TODO:
- Fix OVERRIDE_ShowNaturalDynamics loading/saving
- Check crash in command line version (in Enabled refresh function - probably related to loaded parameters - is that even possible?)
- Pull-down scroll bar appears when it's not needed
- After scrolling with scroll bar, mouse hover doesn't work anymore
- Implement mouse wheel and cursor keys for sliders.
- Find 3 memory leaks
- Remember old location in left menu per section. So if you open Processing you go back to Processing -> Stereo -> AZIMUTH for example. Click on Processing again (if it's already open) and you go to the Processing screen. - did it only for 2 top levels but I think this makes more sense.
- Disable Airy Highs if there are very little highs - need to do final test to confirm that it doesn't hurt other sounds
- Fix declipper click issue - greatly reduced
- Add bandpass, FM (via MPX panel!), latency/quality and maybe sound cards to bottom display.
- Clean up button bar (remove some things and move to Configuration view?)
- What to do with FM settings? Move to config?
- Check hangup - not seen anymore, may have been caused by old pull-down menu implementation.
- And a warning in the buttons bar if unregistered options are in use, or change 'Register' button color.
- Display last loaded preset name, if possible also with whether it has been changed and keeping it on restart
- Same for new version alerts.

BAD.. ?
What is so bad ? Or what is goin bad ?

I had uploaded an earlier BETA030 and it sounded horrible (something was broken) - so I replaced the post by 'BAD' - indeed very unclear if you didn't see it before

Now there's a new version 030 - I'm curious if anyone hears a difference? The bug fix should (but probably VERY slightly) affect the Loudness filter, and mainly the bass clipper in it.
