Stereo Tool

I see a lot of interesting revisions in 7.4! Looking forward to trying it!!

_________________
We improve things by making them worse.

I have just uploaded it! Here's the list of changes:
[*]Declipper: Fixed several bugs (reported by Leif Claesson), output sounds better.
[*]AGC: Added "Power Bass" mode. Makes deep bass far more constant and stronger (feedback from Wouter Tietema and Jeff Prins).
[*]AGC: Release did not respond the same at very high input levels. Old behavior still present for compatibility.
[*]AGC: Audio level was more consistent at lower latency settings. Same consistency now also for high latency.
[*]AGC: Added matrix mode (L+R/L-R processing) for stereo expansion. Not really great though...
[*]Compressor/Limiter: Improved and optimized code for compressors, limiters and Natural Dynamics.
[*]Compressors: Added Continuous Release mode for compressors.
[*]Limiters: Improved limiter attack and release behavior. Much tighter, far less pumping.
[*]FM: Replaced Multipath Clipper by something that works better and affects the audio less. Feedback wanted!
[*]Stand alone version: Added option to receiving a stream via VLC (must be installed).
[*]Stand alone version: FM: Added FM transmitter synchronization to stand alone version.
[*]FM: BS412: Memory and CPU usage reduced.
[*]FM: Rewrote Stokkemask code and added some options to control behavior and CPU load.
[*]Advanced Clipper: Added Controlled Distortion, including intermodulation distortion detection.
[*]Command line version --samplerate option to use different sample rates. Allows outputting MPX.
[*]Command line version --r128 option for R128 normalization.
[*]Sound cards: Added hysterisis when changing buffer size to avoid Juli@ ASIO driver crashes.
[*]Sound cards: Auto-restart in case of driver errors.
[*]Sound cards: Join input sound cards for Rockland/Radio SAW (stations with normal and regional content).
[*]GUI: Added multi-language support.
[*]GUI: Metering: Added scales to meters.
[*]GUI: Metering: MPX power added.
[*]GUI: RDS: Use RDBS PTY names when using 75 us pre-emphasis.
[*]GUI: Added full screen mode; hides all window bars and Windows task bar.
[*]GUI: Added zooming in/out to waveform displays, optimized code, made it possible to turn the display off.
[*]GUI: Added warning when closing.
[*]GUI: Moved Phase Shaping to under Phase Rotator (since it's hardly used or useful).
[*]GUI: CPU load for moving mouse over Bands or Equalizer displays greatly reduced.
[*]GUI: Improved multi-touch screen handling.
[*]GUI: Improved VMware detection.
[*]GUI: Renamed some Natural Dynamics settings for clarity.
[*]GML Plugin: GUI: Removed new version notification from GML plugin.
[*]GML Plugin: Added R128 normalization.
[*]Bug fix: Compressors did not handle audio with more than 2 channels properly.
[*]Updated existing built-in presets to run with the new RMS mode.
[*]Added presets.

I am also working on new help texts:
http://help.stereotool.com/7.40/ (Work in progress!!!)

Thanks, nice x-mas gift.

I had a look on the new AGC help site:
Is this true? Did you actually implement the full algorithm or is this just the frequency weighting which would not be compliant?

Improved Release
So enabling this for everything than old presets is the recommended way? Usually the new mode is the default setting and the old one can be selected for compatibility. (Two typos in the first sentence of your description, btw.)

Merry Christmas to you, Hans, and everyone else reading this!

Hans,

Congratulations on the new release.
A major improvement if i may say so...not completely there yet, but it comes close to your goal. (yep i remembered that none, it was quite a big goal)

I switched back to ST again (had a ORBAN 1100 / BBP combi for testing), and so far nothing to complain.
A verry productive year for ST developement Hans made it happen, also thanks to Bojcha for his input in ST developement!

So wish all you freaks out there a verry merry X-Mas and a happy 2014!

Added a preset with a perfect name (not ready for release yet) for you guys who like to tweak around.

Great! Thanks Hans.
Downloaded also the Mac OSX version and I saw it's dated at 29 of september. Seems like it's the right one, because 7.40 is in menubar.

Have all a nice time and have fun with ST and a happy new year.

Merry Christmas to all at Stereo Tool!Best Compressor out there!

Congratulations!
Merry Christmas!
