Changes:
- Hangup when pressing Natural Dynamics in bottom display
- ND license incorrect
- AZIMUTH default settings: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4875
- Phase rotator: Change name "As early as possible" (unclear!) and hide in most modes?
- Organize ND settings better
- Fix loading existing presets (Gamma values, "As early as possible" etc.)
- Split ND settings in to GUI modes
- Remove old ND implementation (saves memory and makes STS files smaller) -> 8 MB less memory usage
Copy of Gamma description
Ok, about attack and release gamma. Bojcha pointed me to this issue. In the compressors, if there's a volume change, it takes quite long for the level to 'stabilize'. That's because the closer the actual level gets to the 'target' level, the slower it moves (the shape is asymptotic). Something similar happens in release. I always assumed that this is a good thing, and traditionally this is what compressors do.
I have now added a 'Gamma' - similar to the Gamma function that you can use in image processing to make things lighter or darker. Basically, what this does is:
- If the difference in level is 6 dB, nothing changes
- If the difference in level is less than 6 dB, for Gamma values > 1 the change speed is increased.
- If the difference in level is greater than 6 dB, for Gamma values > 1 the change speed is decreased.
More technical: We're using the Gamma'th root of the difference in level - so for 2 that's the square root etc.
What this means: The higher the Gamma value is, the more the movement to the new level will look like a straight line instead of an asymptote.
Fixed previously:
- Multiband: Improved Flat Frequency Response. Good values seem to be between 0.50 and 0.60 (depending on other settings!)
- Multiband: Added Attack and Release Gamma. See below.
- Phase rotator: Added checkbox to place it at the start of the processing chain (just before Natural Dynamics)
- Multiband/Natural Dynamics: Cleanup small spikes in Flat Frequency Response graph.
- Multiband/Natural Dynamics: Improve flat frequency response further.
- Mac: Default priority value to 46.
- Mac: Menu bar with Close APPLE+Q -> wxEntry exits but rest of software doesn't -> crashes.
- Mac: Cleanup named semaphores on exit
- Mac: RDS binary values
- Multiband/ND: Flat frequency response: value automatic conversion. ((v / .58) ^ .5) * .58
- Decide to which license to link ND -> Now linked to Declipper
- MB Knee does not work -> Yes it does...
- Linux: Test if everything still works. -> Yes, some small fixes were needed. Also removed printing to screen in Jack loop (bad!)
- Compressor: Place Gamma somewhere logical without making the interface too crowded.
- Display ND in bottom section
- ND handle changing number of bands
- Mac: Add auto-generating of .zip file with proper plist.
- Mac: Add icon
- Changed ND default settings (experimental!)
Remaining:
- Check and improve performance (Gain?)
- Default settings for ND
- ND artifacts band 1 (JesseG) - is this still an issue with larger drop times?
- Add presets
Later:
- Try to reduce MB/ND volume measurement CPU load. Maybe ignore some bands if there's nearly no signal there etc.
- Multiband/ND: Flat frequency response: Add separate settings for each crossover?)
- MB bands limiting display - Really difficult to fix (without increasing CPU load); it works fine without band coupling, and shows the actual reduction level if band coupling is used. So keeping it like this for now...
- Mac: VST: Child window support. Difficult... Maybe later!
- Mac: GUI performance.
- Mac: Cursors not supported. (Keep like that for now).
