Stereo Tool

Ok!
1. Odd. Could that be caused by a higher priority setting? If you set it to Normal, does this still happen?
2. Ok... I cannot test it here because the Juli@ doesn't have this window. But I know that I should get a message in my program, and if I do I guess I should set my restart_needed flag. Will add that tomorrow.
3. Ok, will check.
Whatever you like... They _SHOULD_ be identical (but maybe they are not). But whatever you're used to/know best.

6.01 with modded visual interface.

Waiting the feedback.

Enjoy.

It still happens with this new version. DSP. It is generally when there is another large CPU load happening. What I don't know is if that is any large CPU load or specifically Adobe Flash content.

I'll see if it matters, probably tomorrow...

Is this:

a bug or only unavoidable ?

Testing some more with version 31. Buffer of 5000 ms i get no clicks. When clicking restart and then moving the task manager i get clicks. The first core is then higher than the second.

Then i changed it to 2.7ms. Restarted stereotool and i get no clicks. When clicking restart again and then moving the taskbar i get clicks. But then the second core is higher than the first.

Restarted stereotool again with 2.7 ms hit the restart button again. Disabled the virusscanner then minimized stereotool and re-enabled the virusscanner. (Because otherwise i still get the same gray planes). Moved the task manager around and i still get clicks.

So the problem only exists right now when i change the buffer by 0,1 ms. Or after i press the restart button.

I don't get a warning when i select Real-time in stereotool. And i see it's now saved as well. When checking with task manager it's also real-time. When set to High there are still clicks. I think this option can be removed and keep only normal and real-time.

Checked the DPC latency again and i see no differences in the DPC latency before or after pressing restart. One time i get clicks the other time no clicks, the DPC latency looks the same both times.

I also checked the difference when shutting down stereotool with virusscanner on or off. When it's on it takes a few seconds, about 5 or so. When virusscanner is off it's immediately closed.

So, it doesn't matter whether you set the buffer size to 2.7 ms or 5000 ms, the clicks are always the same now?

If so, could you try what happens at buffer size 5000, priority set to NORMAL?

Reason:
There are 2 places where clicking can occur:
- The ASIO thread.
This is related to the ASIO buffer size set in the sound card driver ("Configure ASIO" button) - increasing it might fix it!
This does not change if you change the ASIO buffer size.

- The Stereo Tool processing thread.
This is related to the buffer size set in Stereo Tool, and to priority settings.


If for some reason the ASIO thread is ran at a lower priority than the Stereo Tool thread, that might explain why you get clicking in the ASIO thread. Setting the ST priority to Normal should avoid that, but then you'll get clicking from the ST processing thread - buffer size to 5000 fixes that. If this helps I can add an intermediate priority for the ASIO thread. (If it helps, could you also check what happens at High priority setting instead of Real-time?)
Changing the buffer size also performs a restart. So that makes sense...

Real-time can do very annoying things, especially on single core systems. So I'll keep both options.

Not present anymore. (512)
Punch was always strange for me. Erlier was on whole band, then when it's switched to bass-only, it was worse.
I have some idea what sholud be done there but i am not sure what will actually happen.
I 'think' that it need to be somewhere in the middle. So,
looking from 30Hz to 16kHz it need to be strongest to 30Hz and almost no effective to 16kHz. Something like 'default' MB 'softlimit' curve.
Another thing, i think that from always Loudness kills good part of punch. It's ok if 'punch' filter recover the original 'killed' punch. But that's not case. Example, N-Dubz - Best Behaviour.
Currently, punch is a bit softer then in v6.00.

bass artifacts: (512) It's ok for me. But 'steepness' no more then 30%.

I am makeing some preset for 512 (for DSP), I'll upload it soon.

That's what I meant, I think I can restore the original Punch behavior while keeping distortion protection. The question was: Which punch is better, that of 6.00 or the current (if you ignore the distortion)? From your answer I guess 6.00 was better? Or is the current Punch just as good if you increase Punch levels?
Great

Here it is, just to see what all you think. used ST DSP. I don't know how it'll be for FM, still need to test.
there a bit louder highs but i'll see is it needed that much. Preset is not 'loud', byt should have very good dynamic. What you think?

When looking into the wrong Bypass sound, I found a bug that might explain the difference between single or multicore processing. Working on a fix now.
