Stereo Tool

Why???

Well, and please take this the right way, because I know you're busy, but, I found the issue with the sluggish IDE performance under XP and Vista very quickly and easily. It is a Knowledge Base article, and has an MSDN blog entry.

If you remain convinced that things "aren't fixable", when finding the automation api issue is as easy as a simple Google search, then that's what's known as a "self-fulfilling prophecy". Maybe in the end it would end up being the same or worse, but at this point, you don't know for sure. Also, staying on the older version means you don't get any of the updates from the future versions. Those updates may not apply to your code, or they might.

I think you gave up too easily.

In my humble opinion. Your milage may vary. Etc, etc, etc...

Oh, and yeah, why would a HPF all the way up to 500 Hz be needed? That high would trim out part of the voice (speaking) range.

Brian: Does your Cobalt preset replace an existing one? And can I include it?

Phoenix: Same question for Riviera Progressive Trance - is that the follow-up for Riviera, and can I put it in?

I'll send you both a PM to make sure you get this message.

Thanks, when I look into v13 again I'll definitely do this - now it's unusable. Well I don't know if things are fixable. A 25% drop while the compiler still recognizes all the optimization settings is quite a lot - difficult to beat. But yes, I *do* want to get future improvements (there's a reason I tried to install this new version!) so I posted some questions on the Intel forum, will see what happens there. And maybe try again later when I have more time.

What will be affect the HPF ?
Just to be able to set it above 150 hz . there is nothing strange . Filter will be more flexible.
Why then LPF is able down to 0 Hz . this is not needed too , if we think that way .

Done:
- Check ASIO configuration (Garfield)
- Skin issues

TODO:
- Make BS412 work without pre-emphasis
- Add presets Waiting for feedback from Brian, Phoenix, Wolf Stahl
- Add BS412 presets
- Fix 'T' in OUT in volume meters
- RDS unregistered version message

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)

Yes, I saw your post, piet... I bookmarked it and will be watching to see what kind of response you get. You probably would need to be a bit more specific about the code, that you have some C++ code and that you do a lot of calls to the IPP functions. Profiling isn't a bad suggestion, but in my opinion, my suggestion about handled exceptions wasn't a bad suggestion either, as I think your prior experience had to do with error / status codes and making the app continue, which is not the appropriate thing to do in all situations, but that's not the same thing as proper exception handling.

One other thing is that if you can compile with VS, you can enable runtime checks and you may find various uninitialized variables or array bound problems, and whatever else the runtime check option looks for. It's been a while, so I don't remember all that enabling that does, but I do remember that what it found helped reduce and/or eliminate instances where the call to the credit authorization DLL didn't complete due to a crash in the DLL. Customers kinda got cranky when they had double holds on their cards for purchases, so finding what was causing the crashes was a very good thing.

As for the preset, I sent you a PM. Let me know what you think about it. It likely sounds very similar. I think we're in the same general power envelope too.

Old account I made years ago before I ever decided to buy the compiler.. And I already had earned some points with it so I just kept on using it.

New preset sounds better - will include it.

About runtime checks: I have already turned all warnings on (/W5), I'm currently getting 3 warnings on the entire code (all 3 for potential 64-bit incompatibility issues in system calls). (When I turned all the warnings on, 3 weeks ago, there were at least a few hundred - none of them pointed to anything really bad though, only thing I found in the end were a few unnecessary double/float conversions).

I think SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer http://www.libsdl.org/) would be great for you. If you want to see it in action you can take a look at scummvm (http://www.scummvm.org/). They are using it for the interpretation of Adventure Games. The Main Menu is also build with it, including events and graphics. i think for your new GUI it could be a perfect Framework. Its Independent and very easy in use!

Lol, that was from Oct 10...
