9.61 is out...

Changes:

Bug fix: Sub Bass Boost was saved under the same entry as True Bass, so they could not be separately on or off.
64 bit Windows version: Affinity now supports upto 64 cores, useful for running dozens of instances on systems with more than 32 CPU cores.
Bug fix: SST/STX: Classic Multiband was visible in top bar of web interface when MB1 was disabled.
MicroMPX decoder: Backup player: Measures "badness of stream" over time and can switch on/off based on that, instead of just after a long dropout.
MicroMPX: Added manual to Windows installer.

Hi,
When I just updated, I got an error message saying error opening file for writing. It was apparently because I had an older version running when installing the new one. Can a feature be added to the ST installer to disable running copies?
Also how do I stop my browser from opening to a StereoTool thank you page every time I install? This is kinda annoying.

Stereo Tool 9.60 is available!

Changes:
  • AGC: Added bands 3/4 (part of Advanced Dynamics license).
  • AGC: Added Sudden Dump Protection, speeds up release when level drops a lot. Increases maximum release speed, stops Release Hold and Windowing.
  • Analog compressors: Added Progressive Ratio (part of Advanced Dynamics license).
  • Auto EQ: Added "Go to center" for near-silence per band, avoids excessive boost of near-silent bands.
  • Multiband Compressor 1: Added "Go to target" when gating, with hold delay. Reduces excessive boost of bass and highs on voices, a.o..
  • True Bass: Added "Sub Bass Boost" subfilter with sidechain compressor to improve bass level and consistency.
  • AGC: Added Progressive Ratio (possibly useful for classical music; doesn't fully work with Sudden Jump Protection).
  • Multiband compressors: Added option for pre-emphasised compression.
  • Kantar: Split to a separate plugin DLL for easier validation of new versions.
  • Advanced Clipper: Added asymptotic mode. Makes step from not clipping to clipping less abrupt, but also causes some extra distortion.
  • RDS: ASCII remote access: Added DPSTEXT command that sends RT and PS text in one go and uses word wrap for PS.
  • RDS: ASCII remote access: Hardened to ignore unexpected characters (EOF's among others) in the data.
  • Advanced Clipper: Default settings: Changed frequencies for even harmonics from 1000/2000 Hz to 400/800 Hz to avoid issues in older presets.
  • Linux version: Jack behavior improved, names corrected (FM/normal output), latency reduced.
  • ARM version: Set a slightly higher minimum latency value.
  • GUI: Show a popup message if the sound card buffer filling gets too high or too low.
  • GUI: Streaming .dll's not found error message improved (clear message instead of a weird hexadecimal code).
  • GUI: Updated French translation.
  • Modern web interface: Fixed μ character display in modern webinterface.
  • XST/SST web interface: Added Quick Adjust settings to main page (which was empty before).
  • Bug fix: Modern web interface: Fixed horizontal scrolling issue.
  • Bug fix: RDS: Code was sending euro sign as an E, but the euro sign ASCII code in RDS is actually an à.
  • Bug fix: MicroMPX: ARM version: Previous (retracted) release (combined with Stereo Tool 9.52) was incompatible with all other versions.
  • Large code refactoring in I/O code to enable future improvements.
  • Added and updated presets.
  • SST/STX: Updated presets.
  • MicroMPX: GPS support for Single Frequency Networks (SFN's) now works fully, and on a lot more hardware:
  • MicroMPX: GPS: Added support for GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou satellites, besides just GPS.
  • MicroMPX decoder: Added measurement of sound card delay to handle differences on restarts (needed for HifiBerry on Pi, among others).
  • MicroMPX decoder: Added displays for NMEA timestamps, stream timestamps, 1PPS pulses, audio feedback measurement, current resampling factor, lock.
  • MicroMPX encoder: Added displays for NMEA timestamps, samples between NMEA timestamps, clock speed adjustment, lock.
  • MicroMPX decoder: Reduce maximum resampling value from 0.1% to 0.05% to fix potential RDS reception issue. Large clock speed offsets will now cause dropouts.
  • MicroMPX encoder: Restart GPS sync on sound card restart, also for plugin version in Stereo Tool.
  • MicroMPX decoder: Reduced CPU load by about 2%.
  • MicroMPX libraries: Add thread affinity settings.
  • PhoneBooster initial version released!
Where is the documentation?
so that I can read the new functions what it does
especially the 4 band agc

Indeed, the Documentation section seems to be down.

They must be reworking it to include information about the new AGC and stuff.

Not a lot of interesting stuff, but there was an issue in 9.60/9.61 that caused the CPU load to be higher (which could cause issues on slower systems). This new beta fixes that, and an issue where in a specific combination of settings you could get continuous restarts due to detected sound card unresponsiveness when streaming:

Latest version - 9.62 BETA 004 (November 14 2020)

Downloads Changes:
  • Code problem was causing CPU load to be higher in 9.60 and 9.61 in two of the input threads.
  • Fixed "sound card not responding" error in ShoutCast/IceCast output when "Restart on sound card timeouts" was enabled.
  • UPDATE MICROMPX MANUAL (photos needed), and add PDF to installer and website
  • volatile atomic added for I/O pointers
  • ABE webinterface: Add hasing of passwords
  • ABE webinterface: Add password protection - ok for first version I think
  • Fixed synchronisation between ASIO and non-ASIO problem - changed minimum buffer size
  • MicroMPX Encoder library functions missing
  • Backup player better handling of continuous dropouts Done, but needs to be added to manual
  • MicroMPX: Simple performance fixes

The link is to beta 033. Change it to 004 and it should work.

Hi Hans,

doing some tests with the 4-band AGC, starting from the settings of the Dutch Chocolate Moose preset, I noticed some difficulties in the management of the 3rd band, it would be useful if a mix out of band was implemented that will serve to balance the behavior with respect to the threshold and also the release gate cannot be the same for all bands, each band must have one, so gate speed, gate freeze and gate slow down for each band, as per "Ariane sequel"


if it can be useful this is the manual
https://www.bwbroadcast.com/files/downl ... manual.pdf

edit : it would be useful for an asterisk to appear on the preset or change color when changing a parameter or voluntarily unintentionally.
