No problem - I was just way too tired yesterday. So here's the 6.20 release post:

# Added declipper filter
# Loudness: Completely redesigned for more consistency, better transients, louder output and greatly improved highs. Punch is no longer needed.
# Loudness: Improved vibrating voices filter caused by loud bass.
# Loudness: New filter that removes highs distortion caused by loud bass, now allows bass levels upto 100% without (much) distortion in the highs.
# Loudness: New filter that detects when highs cause volume drops in the rest of the sound, and briefly lowers the highs level.
# Loudness: Added oversampling checkbox for streaming and mastering: This makes sure that no clipping will occur if the audio is upsampled afterwards.
# Loudness: Added separate dirty bass / mids / highs sliders for better bass control and 'artistic' effects.
# AGC: Redesigned to handle different input levels much better.
# AGC: Enabled ITU-1770 support (for bass and head separately).
# AGC: Added stereo separation control.
# AGC: Added start level for mastering.
# AGC: Separate "Remove remaining peaks" settings for lows and mid-highs.
# AGC: Added "Force level below" slider for improved peak control. Forces the AGC level down faster if the difference gets too big.
# Added Bass AGC filter to reduce excessive bass sounds.
# Multiband: Added voice protection settings to better cope with loud vocals in music.
# Multiband: Allow changing band frequencies (only via STS file).
# Multiband: Added control of link between bands 1 and 2.
# Pre-emphasis: Moved to end of processing, just before clipping.
# Highpass filter: Improved filtering to reach a cleaner output.
# Highpass filter: Added "order" setting for non-phase linear filter.
# Improved audio processing window shape to reduce artifact levels.
# Improved pre-ringing filtering to avoid artifacts that occurred before.
# Added SCA output channels (SCA1 works, SCA2 is problematic due to the required frequency range).
# Support added for multiple Stereo Tool installations with different settings per installed version (requested by Jazler).
# Added registration to command line version.
# Bug fix: Fixed "Test right channel" in "FM Transmitter Calibration" (broken in version 6.10).
# Bug fix: FM Calibration frequencies 23-57 kHz were not at the correct frequencies.
# Bug fix: Fixed left/right channel swap that could occur in the stand alone version.
# Bug fix: AGC could hang in some cases when enabling more bands. Fixed.
# Bug fix: Phase rotation did not sound good at low latencies in version 6.10.
# Bug fix: Time zone in RDS was wrong.
# GUI improvement: Made waveform background black.
# RDS: Adjusted behavior if no special characters (<, >, |, ||) are used: Word wrap with centering is selected by default. This was done for the Omnia 9 that uses the Stereo Tool RDS encoder; the behavior is now identical for both systems.
# RDS: Ignoring trailing spaces for word wrap.
# Added a lot of presets.
# Added interface for blind users. Set environment variable STBLIND to 1 or YES.

For the declipper you need a new key.

I am currently sending out key updates to people who bought Stereo Tool this year (2011). I'll send the others for beta testers later (probably tomorrow).

Congratulations for the nice release, hvz. I'm using Stereo Tool for a FM wireless headphone that needs pre-emphasis and stereo encoding, seems that the audio quality improved a lot from the beta releases. Well, in Bojcha Addiction V11 (US Stereo), the pre-emphasis is supposed to be 50us or I must change to 75us?

Yes, that's mistake. If you need 75us, just switch to.

Hans,

Thank you !!!!

I have been through all of the 6.10 beta versions and 6.20 is here. You and everyone else has done a fantastic job.

So, when is 6.30 ready? Just kidding.

Again, thank you to everyone for all of your efforts for a single product that is outstanding.
