Stereo Tool

Stereo Tool 7.00 is released! See http://www.stereotool.com/download/

Total GUI redesign. Interface dynamically adapts to screen size and is nearly touch screen ready (keyboard needed).
Added new version alerts and specific warnings which unregistered functions are in use.
Last selected preset name visible after restart.
Added web interface (no access protections yet).
Completely rewritten parameter handling code; solved bugs and reduced the chance of introducing new ones.
Added ability to reset, load and save parts of presets.
Added input sound card Gain control.
FM transmitter audio synchronization added to synchronize streaming audio at multiple transmnitter sites (experimental).
Loudness: Changed bass clipper behavior, flatter frequency response; sounds a bit warmer.
Loudness: Bass clipping filter bug fixes: Whistle artifacts gone, 'knock-on-wood' artifacts reduced.
Loudness: Airy Highs turned off if there are very little highs (reduces crackling sound that sometimes occurs).
Declipper: Reduced 'clicking' artifact in reconstructed audio.
Declipper: Improved splitting load over 2 cores.
FM test tones: Added Bessel null frequencies and "smooth square wave" (sounds less loud) test tone mode.
Removed a number of memory allocations/frees that occurred during processing.
Added a lot of presets.
Natural Dynamics is available in the GUI again, if you enable it explicitly in the INI file.

Congratulation!

P.S.: you would have to update the screenshot of the page in the download section, with version 7.

I will, but it's almost 4 AM here so - tomorrow.

I also want to get a complete new website - not tomorrow of course.

Loading built in presets still resets input and output soundcard settings

Additionally, if there's another quick update, just turn on the declipper for Cobalt. I had intended to do that, but since it overloads my system, I do everything with it off and enable it at the end, but I forgot to do that.

I'm still not happy with mids and some other things, but those can wait for now.

Also, Cobalt was meant to totally replace Purity Control in the WEB section and not be in the GENERIC section at all. After that, I was going to make a Purity Control version to be in GENERIC, but not WEB.

Basically, I want Purity Control to be softer, but not by 5 dB PC will likely also have different multiband settings.

...that is unless I can fiddle with Cobalt enough to have the loudness (aka "clipper drive") not be up at 5 dB, but more in the 2-3 range, then I'd just stick with Cobalt for both sections.

Hans I have a problem.In the vst version of stereo tool 7 there is no GUI.I´m using this in Reaper.When I open the plugin it comes up blank.

here is the previous Beta version.

Which beta was that? I tested the release here and it's working without any issues - and I haven't changed anything specifically in the VST version in the last few beta's... I see you don't have the 'limit post amp to 0 dB' setting yet so it must be an older beta... Can you try what happens if you don't just replace it but try to load a new instance (maybe something is going wrong with parameters; loading a fresh instance should definitely work).

fantastic, I have no words to express my happiness, you're the best, thanks again for your dedication to us crazy audiophiles.
Hans......thanks, thanks, thanks.

and thanks also to everyone who contributed to the realization of the new design of ST.

thanks guys and happy holidays to all.


ps. ver 7:00 sounds monstrous.

It was not for tomorrow ...
