Stereo Tool

I have 5200 AMD.. and no problems.

Since the audio processing code becomes better and better al the time, it seems some kind of hardware requirement could be an option.
I assume ST can not run on a 486, so some kind of HW REQ is advisable.

Need because when you use the lowest speeds, you get the result of the old MB... no enough hold.. we have fast response, but no enough hold ... i`m pushed to use the gating... but imagine i don`t want ? then what .. must return to the old MB because the effect is the same... Now we have speed multiply sliders.. why not for the hold ? let`s say from 0.00 to 25.00 ...

re: K8 performance and minimum hardware requirements

Comparing my 3700+ vs. one core of a 6000+, oddly enough probably leaves my system with a slight advantage. The reason for that is I have the San Diego "E" core revision that has a further improved memory controller and enables the use of up to DDR-550 memory vs. the normal DDR-400. I use DDR-500 memory. The 6000+ uses some speed of DDR2, but due to the extra latency of DDR2, my memory subsystem is probably slightly faster.

I use loudness ("clipper", whatever you want to call it) for work on a preset, but I don't "need to", because I'm not broadcasting. Also, Bojcha and I end up producing very similar sounding presets, probably because we mimic each other's ideas. Mine has more punch, while his is more controlled. I'm not going to be doing presets for now, and if I do, it would be a non-loudness / non-broadcast preset.

The "generic" version of Cobalt runs about the same as what you're saying Michi, with CPU load floating between 35 and 40. I do see momentary load increases when I use the preset list, but usually only up to 50-60. If I take the mouse and continually move it around though, I can drive it up to 90. This is on a significantly older video card than either of you have. This is still the same video card I bought when I built this system in 2004 so that I could play Doom 3. It's an eVGA GeForce 6800 GT (8X AGP, 256MB memory).

So, without loudness, yeah, things could be improved, but it's not excruciatingly painful as it is with loudness. Unfortunately, at this point I can't convince Hans to work with me to try to figure out if things can be made better. Based on what I've been able to see with the limited view I have right now, I believe things can be made better. That may be actually not ONLY with AMD, but with Pentium 4, Pentium M, Pentium D, and Core Solo / Core Duo.

My only suggestion for now is what I advised previously - to add a data gathering routine in the installer that asks permission to send back CPU information so that he can get a picture of the platforms that people are using and for each individual platform a percentage of the whole can be calculated.

Hi hans , when i run the last beta and than i load the phamtom big o v2 preset , stereotool crash

Tested ,the vst and standalone version.

Multiband multicore support! & Jeroens preset does not crash anymore.
Stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 04-042.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 04-042.exe
VST: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 04-042.dll

Yes the jeroen preset run now ! thank you hans

Hans, I cannot download the VST...
And for what it's worth the webradio preset I'm using http://www.mijnbestand.nl/Bestand-CF4YOINIAYAW.sts

beta 42 confirmed working "like a tit" with jeroen's 9 band.
Also big difference for cpu load now with multiband multicore.

Good job....

Hmm.. my both core2duo Intel and dual core AMD.. are way faster with beta42 compared to beta40.
