Stereo Tool

Yes, I'm in Sweden. We do use BS412 since Jan 1, 2011. Or maybe I should say that at least I use it.
About 85% of the commercial stations around here are overdeviating and even more are exceeding the allowed MPX-power limit.

If this version works fine I'll release it tomorrow.
VST version apparently still doesn't work on Adobe Audition (I don't expect it to be fixed now, although it might be. Looking at a video I got from Valiant, apparently the window size isn't reported properly to that program. And nothing changed with that.). If all other programs DO work, I'll release this version anyway to at least have something much better than 7.00.

Stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 01-004.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 01-004.exe
VST: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 01-004.dll
Command line: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 01-004.exe

DONE:
- Fixed BS412 issue
- VST & GUI redraw changed once again. Should be ok now, and use less CPU power at slower systems. (Previous version didn't do the drawing at a low priority thread, new code does at least in the stand alone version).
- VST window is a bit bigger

- VST version should work properly now
- Some presets updated
- Volume increase when loading a preset fixed
- GUI unresponsive at very high CPU loads when you click right of text in text box fix
- Add sound card restart button again (Bojcha just reported that it's missing)
- Fix sound card reset on built-in preset load & FM settings - now making as little changes as possible, hope this is better


Other stuff that I've been pushing forward (and will push forward further for now):
- Add 'purpose based' view on settings (for example all settings that affect bass combined).
- 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).
- Confirm on close (stand alone version)

@Valiant: If version 004 still doesn't work on Audition, could you try this one? http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 1-004a.dll . Window size is hardcoded in this version, instead of detected.

Is there an option when loading the built in presets that you can load the settings option like in the load preset from hard disk? When loading any of the built in presets the setting for FM transmitter and soundcard gets reset or disabled so makes it hard to compare presets.

That should be fixed in the last 2 beta's... FM transmitter DOES get turned off if you load a non-FM preset, but except for that - especially when switching between FM presets - everything should keep working.

Seems fine now with the latest beta, makes it much easier to try the other presets out - I also noticed that the register link in still there when the code is entered, will this be fixed in a later beta?

Found an increase in CPU usage, using ST standalone on WinXP, in the following situation:

- In my ST system uses on average 60% ​​of the CPU, but when pressed in the preset name, while the menu is opened, the CPU goes to 90%.
+30% For a menu!

- Another thing derived from this is that if you do not select any preset and continue with that was, and is not the name, but it says "PRESET".

In Reaper the latest Beta 701-004 puts a load of 6% when there is NO preset and approx 30% WITH a preset on the cpu in Reaper.It also functions in Adobe Audition no problem.

Is that different from before (the CPU load I mean)?

Hm, I hadn't expected the Adobe Audition problem to be fixed in 004, maybe the cause is something different than I thought... Will wait for Valiant to respond.

I don´t know.I never measured the cpu on the previous Beta.I only have 004 installed now.
