This version still crashes sometimes when loading settings from a file. For example, when I load in the Hard Solution-preset from the forum-preset-section, ST freezes (although the JACK-backend seems to work further, because the dots are still printed out in the terminal after freeze).
Doesn't reproduce here unfortunately (even with a debug build). I'll try to fix the other issues, hope that this will be connected to something else (just like the crash-on-startup and clicks were connected).

Linux priority setting added
Buffer sizes work as should
http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... ETA724-025

DONE:
- RadioFreak: Hiccups - were not caused by Stereo Tool
- Linux: Clicks with Jack (First thing to check: Other latency settings.) Seems to only affect FM output. First test: Replace input by sine wave. And wav2.wav.
- Linux: Jack maximum buffer size smaller OR allocate more buffer space -> Make static!
- Linux: Quit in Linux (hang on close)
- RadioFreak: Crash after restart, gone after deleting .rc file.
- Linux: Jack latency settings (buffer size) don't seem to work in all cases. -> Normal and Low Latency were swapped
- Linux: Probably remove priority parameters in Linux
- Linux: Priority setting in Linux

HALF-WAY:
- Windows: Synchronize doesn't work in Windows Fixed, buffer filling was returned as value between 0 and 2, but now as between 0 and 1. So the correction was calculated incorrectly. Bojcha reports it still doesn't work.
- Windows: Channel swapping in Windows So far unable to reproduce.
- Linux: Jack no sound (AlexL) Logging (".") added -> Is displayed, but still no audio; other Jack programs are ok.

TODO:
- Linux: Entering registration key in Linux
- Linux: Unresponsive GUI with dropdown menu's open
- All: Low latency sound sometimes bad (VERY bad)
- RadioFreak: when you save your actual setting to a preset (export) and then open this preset again (import), ST crashes sometimes
- Bojcha: If possible to add on list fix for MB compressors meters (and might possible audio) interact wrongly with Burst compressors AND limiters.

Registering window removed, replaced by Configuration -> License screen
Linux version: Jack sample rate used
Linux stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... TA724-025A (sorry I used the same number again...)
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 24-025.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 24-025.exe

TODO:
- Linux: Unresponsive GUI with dropdown menu's open or big window - wxST_PAINT_EVENT is wrong! And may also have caused the X11 issues
- Linux: Jack Buffer empties on start, this stops after a few seconds. Restarting the sound in Stereo Tool makes the buffers half full (as intended) again.
- Linux: RadioFreak: when you save your actual setting to a preset (export) and then open this preset again (import), ST crashes sometimes. Several crashes (startup (not yet reproduced), file loading (inside glibc code!)) - something is wrong somewhere but this one may be very hard to find. Not yet reproduced crash at startup cannot be related to the file open window! This might be the best shot at solving it.
- Linux: Audio stops after loading a preset.
- All: Low latency sound sometimes bad (VERY bad)
- Bojcha: If possible to add on list fix for MB compressors meters (and might possible audio) interact wrongly with Burst compressors AND limiters.
- Not all Jack inputs/outputs visible (Ha! I'm looking for physical outputs, should be all!)


EDIT:
Linux version update (previous versions would easily start to crackle if the CPU load was high), stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... TA724-025A

I think the Linux version is usable now, provided that you get sound out of it of course.

Questions:
RadioFreak: Do you still see crashes? If so, can you send me a preset that causes it to crash (and tell me with what option to load it).
Bojcha: Does synchronisation work now? I've restarted it here numerous times and it always works - numbers appear after a few seconds. If not, please send me your preset file.

BTW, did you try to tackle the low latency output latency in 7.24? If so, is it substantially reduced when using ASIO?

Yes it should be. In both Windows and Linux. I do sometimes hear VERY bad audio quality in the low latency signal though, don't know yet what's causing that. It appears to be related to a high CPU usage and frequent audio restarts.

For an easy test (if you don't have enough outputs on your system) send one output (for example FM) to one channel and Low Latency to the other.

Can you send me your settings? It still works fine here...

Yes, it unfortunately still crashes. I've added the preset that makes it crashing on all load-options (audio/audio+fm/import).
And, plus, it got the issue back that it crashes on loading up, and only solution is to remove the .stereo-tool.rc-file in the home-directory.

More issues:
- when clicking on the "Buy or upgrade license"-button on the new license-tab, the browser opens, but the ST-GUI freezes (although audio is running on and on normally in the background).
- when loading-in a preset from a file, the name is not displayed in the upper bar, it says only PRESET

Also on my whish list:
Would it be possible to add some more ports than only the JACK-system-ports on the soundcard input and output-dropdown-menue? For example, I want to use FM Out to the soundcard via system-ports, but additional output via Normal Out to a virtual JACK-sink (vlc media player with JACK-plugin for streaming), but I cannot do this, becauso I only have system:playback1 and system:playback2 on both FM and Normal Out.

Settings is anything. Reset all settings. I posted picture few posts back.. clearly no numbers there. Input is VAC and Output JulI@.
Here is 7.22 - http://i.imgur.com/iZ00zTS.png
Here is 7.23 - http://i.imgur.com/LBxSJ3A.png
Here is 7.24b25 - http://i.imgur.com/y9TvIPz.png - Also no additional cpu usage when it's ON even with quality at 128, meaning it really does not working, not only invisible numbers.
