Stereo Tool

Stereo Tool 7.10 is released! You can download it here: http://www.stereotool.com/download/

Changes:
User interface: 5 modes ranging from "Simple" to "Extreme Tweaker". "Basic" should be good for most people.
Greatly reduced CPU load of almost all filters. With identical settings, the CPU load is typically 12% reduced.
Singleband compressor completely redesigned.
Keywords: Attack, release, release hold, ratio, feed forward vs feedback, lookahead, burst protection.
Multiband compressor completely redesigned: Configurable number of bands; monitoring individual bands, median display.
Added 'graphics' equalizer.
AGC: Added side chain.
AGC: Added singleband compressor after AGC.
AGC: Smoothed Band 1 to band 2 coupling.
AGC should work better if declipper or noise gate is activated.
Extra lowpass filter before processing to fix problems with songs with excessive very high frequency content.
Set 0.25 kHz above actual LPF freq, but never below 16 kHz.
Loudness: Improved delayed bass clipping protection to cause less distortion.
Provision to discard buffer after a certain period of inactivity added for VST plugin.
FM: SCA was missing since version 7.00, added again.
Declipper: Reduced artifacts when using declipper in combination with non-phase linear highpass filter.
Declipper: Changed default settings based on input from Jesse Graham.
Sound cards: 'Synchronize to output' now also works with Normal output.
User interface: Made 6 dB lines in meters more prominent.
Bug fix: Disabled mouse hold behavior for all widgets except sliders.
Updated and added many presets.

Great Stuff Hans!

I just noticed that I have inserted ridigulous band coupling values in my preset from yesterday. I only noticed because of the altered band coupling presentation. changed them to more reasonable values. besides this removed the 0.5 dB in output limit, so there is more loudness and next to somewhat less density. Jeroen told me you think there is to much compression in the preset. I like it like this. Am very impressed with your software!

Thanks! I was actually doubting about including it because it's so different from all other presets. You could post it in the presets section and see if people respond to it.

Oké Hans, I will do so. I'm a newbee here, so of course my preset is in the wrong topic. Sorry for that!

I have problems on my core2duo 2.0ghz running some of the newer US presets, imagine that's because of the increased MB. Turning azimuth and declipper off helps with some, adjusting the asio block size helps with others. I like what I'm hearing and seeing...how does one enter "simple" mode.

I need to get my hands on a quad core intel, quickly, I can tell. Cheers to you, Hanz!

Or try some moderate OC, on that CPU will help a lot.

Could also be that in some of the new preset the clipper Strictness (Advanced Clipper -> CPU) is set much higher than in all the other presets. Try reducing it!
