In the web interface, the expansion glyph for the oscilloscopes is in the bottom right of the screen instead of the cell.

I still feel the new adaptive compressor sounds weird with CHR content.

My friend says MB output sounds squeaky, I turn down the thresholds for highs. It then sounds dead.
Plus, I still end up hearing clicks louder than anything else.
I try and try. I still cannot get it to sound at all good.

Example song: Ciara - Goodies (feat. Petey Pablo)
Download link to playback
I provided my current preset too.

Edit: equalizer could fix this? I am going to test that.
I just tried to download it, but I need to get access first.
Oops. Dropbox changed how sharing works. Here is an actual proper link with an access key.

To describe again: highs become apparent (squeaky). Reducing the threshold makes it sound dull. It may sound acceptable to you. It hurts to listen. For example, switching from listening to StereoTool and then an iHeartRadio station became a big difference to me. Again as a reference... a station here playing the same song https://youtu.be/27iM2calISI (recorded from hdradio gui program I am working on)

Adding an auto eq to the mix helps... to a certain extent. Though, it can sound quirky and some people don't like that. I have not had my friend check my preset with auto eq on though.
I'm not sure that I hear what you're describing. The other (HD) recording sounds more squeaky to me. Can you give me the exact time stamp in the ST recording where you hear it, to make sure I'm listening for the same thing that you are?

Fair... HD isn't a great example... since it already sounds squeaky. I got used to the high-pitched stereo squeakness. here is FM: https://youtu.be/T-5-SonLY3M

On Stereotool, it doesn't sound spacious & it sounds limited in stereo. It's like I put a hard brick in it. Is that a better explanation? It's like bland. I said it sounded squeaky because nothing sounds strong?

it is the same way throughout the whole song in my opinion

Ah! Now it makes more sense. Yes, I heard that too - I guess the compressor is configured to act very slowly. The HD signal especially sounds like heavy, fast moving compression is going on. Also, if you used the AGC in matrix mode before for stereo widening, that's now gone because the AGC is gone. So we do need a new stereo widener. And potentially a 2nd fast-acting compressor stage to add more density to _all_ material.

Under FM signal settings, OUT spectrum is not showing right. It has some strange jumps, most visible around the pilot and RDS, may be incorrect drawing or wrong detecting for drawing the display.
The real output signal is OK on my side, but you may check it too.

I`m talking about Stand alone 32 bit. May be check others for the same.
This has been happening on and off for years.. We need to fix this at some point, but it's not a new issue, so for now I'm leaving it.

The four things I’ve been wanting to see in ST are:

- Better Natural Dynamics section with WB dynamic detection
- A very transparent, C-Level like new AGC design
- Auto Stereo Pilot
- Maybe: A button for putting all CPU settings at the maximum value and turning on all CPU intensive settings that only improve audio, but take quite a bit of CPU load. (ex. sliders like ‘Quality (increases CPU load)’ under DeClipper restoration, “Strictness (CPU)” and “Leif’s highs gap protection stages (CPU)’ under Clipper just to name a few of these ”CPU sliders” I’m referencing.)
Better ND: Agreed.
Transparent new AGC: I think that the AGC based on the new compressor will do this. The AGC will be like the new compressor, but without speeding up as much on dynamic content, which makes it more neutral (it can also be configured to be more neutral in the current compressors).
Auto stereo pilot: I guess we could add that... it's not difficult.
All CPU settings to the max: I don't think that that's very useful. Setting it higher than "Sane maximum" in the CPU settings is probably useless, with the Declipper as a possible exception.

Is there any plan to add Streaming Output to the VST version?
I've added it to the todo list. You also asked for MicroMPX, but that should already work...?

Are any of you using the Linux cmd standaalone version and able to access presets on the web interface?
They won't show on my iPhone, which is odd. I'm blind, and using a screen reader and they won't show for that either--and I took image recognition/OCR to a screenshot and nothing about "presets". Everything else works.
Here is the link to the version I'm using. Below that is a Dropbox link to the screenshot, since it's too big for this attachment system which only allows 256 KB or below.

The command line version has not yet been ported to support the new preset mechanism. So it makes sense that that doesn't work. We do need to convert it at some point, but that's not a priority (using the web interface in the command line version is a very unusual and little used way of controlling it).

Hello, testing version 10.10 a message always appears after activating the web server, always when starting ST, is there a possibility to remove this message whenever starting ST, in this beta 10.11?
This seems to affect multiple popups; I've put it on our todo list.
