Stereo Tool

Note: Bug in this version, when you open it you'll get a warning window with some bogus text. Just close it. I was working on this and forgot to turn it off before building...
I'm posting this version anyway because I'm really curious if the reported bugs (see 'Done' list below) are solved now - I haven't been able to reproduce all of them so I'm not sure if they are fixed.

Stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 33-056.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 33-056.exe
VST: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 33-056.dll
Command line: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 33-056.exe

For web interface, you can still use Bojcha's skin:

Done:
- Check Iconify behavior (Brian)
- Remove MUSTBEFREED stuff that causes a small memory allocation and release for each mouse move.
- Singleband RMS style display broken
- Fix AGC startup on preset loading
- Limit Post Amp to 1
- Mouse lock doesn't work on some systems
- De-emphasis doesn't seem to switch between 50 and 75 us (hvz) To be tested -> Fix confirmed
- Right click for default value
- Wrong last loaded preset shown on startup (the previous one); saved presets are not added to recent presets

TODO:
- Red bar doesn't get back to green (Bojcha)
- Built-in presets: Loudness does not work
- Fix MB clipper sliders to 0 error. Also, in old version DISABLED (+20) was saved as -1! Which is now converted to 0...
- Reset (right click) of wave panel crashes
- Add warning when someone enables FM sync.
- Make red volume skinnable
- Improve web interface look
- Check STS file saving
- VST version produces silence when processing a file - viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4334&start=661
- FM buffer display doesn't disappear in stand alone mode when FM & FM output are disabled.
- Add transparency (#FF00FF)

Less urgent for usability:
- Design (several people are working on something)

For later:
- Add 'purpose based' view on settings (for example all settings that affect bass combined).
- Multi-language support
- Add basic/advanced modes
- Add '-6' '-12' etc. beside output bars where possible.
- Context sensitive Help (help button should be next to the preset buttons)
- Drag (resize window parts) lines, also between to/bottom part (scopes/meters).
- Confirm on close (stand alone version)

I see on your picture "Realtek HD Audio" as output. Now you say that you are using VAC to connect to MPXTool. Anyway, that is exactly how i use ST (to test FM), vac and MPX Tool, and my buffer stays same, except if i have some high CPU load to interrupt ST, vac and/or MPX tool.
Try to set "realtime priority for all 3, ST, VAC, and MPX Tool.

Still not fixed.
Nice isn't it ?
Yes, Now it's working again.
Yeah!
Yes, fixed.

Say you have 192001 on average. That means you have 1 too few sample per second - you would loose 1 second in 192000/60/60 = 53 hours. So that should be ok. With 192006 on average that would be 1/6th = about 9 hour. How big is your buffer?
Hm there's no difference in the sound card behavior between these versions. But maybe something changed in your hardware (as Bojcha said, if even MB temperature can affect things - have you tested these old versions again AFTER you got this problem?)

Moved back to todo list
Yes!!!! Was a good idea!

By Relative Clip Position I was referring to the parameter in the STS files. The old versions set this parameter to -1 when you set the clippers on the individual bands to OFF which was done by dragging the sliders to the top.

BTW the built-in presets are broken because the Loudness clipper is disabled by default.

Yes VAC , because in this way with Realtek Output i cannot see how much is my sample rate and if it moves up and down a lot ... Thats why i say the scheme that is connected when i look this parameter ( SR )
If you have some program for seeing it without MPX tool and VAC , please tell me what is it ( may be some stand alone little progy that only look in to the sample rate value ) ?
I`ll try later with Real time priority ...

Edit : my buffer is 1.000 sec

So far, the window now goes away all the time. However, the CPU load issue remains, and quite extreme.

Test track: "No Hands" - Wacka Flocka Flame

CPU load: 90-99%

On to-tray: Window goes away, but it takes a full 15 seconds or so for control to return to Winamp.

****

The test track is very important. That particular track seems to need a lot of clipping processing. Other tracks have 80-90% loads. One older track is interesting:

Track: "Banana Boat Song" - Harry Belafonte

CPU load: 70-75%, exact same preset settings.

Come Mr. HVZ, lower my CPU load.
Daylight come and me wan go sleep.
Come Mr. HVZ, lower my CPU load.
Daylight come and me wan go sleep.
It's 80, 90, 100 percent, crash.
Daylight come and me wan go sleep.
80, 90, 100 percent, crash.
Daylight come and me wan go sleep.

I just notice a draw issue ...may be
Input indicator when goes to overshoot ( red ) in the background i see some other color ( not black ) to the moment when indicator goes green again .
And also when minimize ST to tray i have draw issues when restoring it from there.

Make a screenshot , and you will see the both problems. Input indicator ( right one ) and the screen

@Brian: Are you using a virus scanner? And if so, which one? There have been performance issues with saving the settings in combination with some virus scanners, that's why I'm asking.
