Stereo Tool

the problem occured in Audacity, not in Audition. I cannot test in Audition yet, because only 64bit Plugins are supported.
btw i tried it in Audacity again, but it always crashes, if i click on ok or on the preview button. i would be great, if you can make work it again. i seems to be always the same error, als metioned in my last error report (in a PM i sent you the minidump data)

- Memory usage reduced a lot (still higher than 8.00 but a LOT lower than previous beta's).
- This seems to completely solve the crashes in Audition now
- Memory leaks caused by certain compiler options don't occur anymore, I don't know why...

Windows 32 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 01-013.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 01-013.exe
Windows VST 32 bit: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 01-013.dll

Known issues:
- Audition doesn't close. (Same problem as in version 7.84 and before, was solved in 8.00 but something is breaking this again).
- Low Quality Low Latency monitoring (stand alone version) is disabled for now
- Generic plug-in (not posted) FM output to host doesn't work.
- Display needs to be updated for all threads
- Display updates must happen in correct order (weird noise jumps otherwise)
- Delossifier web display needed
- AGC gate in bars like compressors
- Generate UIDs and use link
- Password for login?
- Type IP in web site
- New idea: FM stereo trick might reduce MP3 artifacts as well! So add it to streaming output.
- TODO: Add exception if ignoring too high VST parameter numbers (Audacity bug!).

On my end this latest version (BETA013) works fine in Audacity. Might have been that same memory issue that caused problems in Audition.

i downloaded and tried this version now. but it still crashes if i click ok or the preview button. in contrast to the last beta the exception is catched by audition and the whole application isn't crashing. audacity writes in the log the following exception:

 <context>

if i switch back to beta 01 then i have no problems. did you need more information about the crash?

Huh, now it's suddenly crashing here too. Will first try to fix my own crash (which appears to be in the VST parameter handling).

Ok so... For some reason Audacity is sending 8200 parameters instead of 4100. Audition does NOT do this with the same DLL. Which is really very strange. There might be a bug in Audacity that cannot handle more than 4096 parameters or something like that - I've added a few in the last weeks. --> Confirmed, with a few fewer parameters it works fine... Bug in Audacity!

For now I've added a check; when a parameter comes in with a too high number I just ignore it. I will add some exception message for it later, because I definitely DO want to get notified of bugs like this, instead of hiding them completely.

Beta13 still crashing at start. I think info from exception is the same

Can you try the following?
1. Create a directory C:\temp
2. Run Stereo Tool and wait for this crash to occur
3. Close Stereo Tool, and send me the files C:\temp\StereoTool_Exceptions_Log.txt and C:\temp\log

There seems to be a problem with the memory pool, if that's indeed the case this should be logged *before* the exception that you posted. Which is why I really need these file.

Thanks!

Edit: Never mind! If you use the old (Digital) style Multiband compressor with 9 bands, you get an error. Will fix it now. Update tomorrow morning.

- Crash with 9-band Digital multiband fixed
- Audition closes now
- Web server much more reliable, it can handle multiple requests simultaneously.

Here are files , but i think there is the same info as in the exception window.
Will try the new beta to see.

Edit: beta14 is starting normally

Edit2 : How to consider the "Hear" option ( i think the old Difference ) ?

When i press it in MB , i see that Clipper visual meter is disabled , but no other changes . When i press it at the AGC , MB and Clipper meters are disabled but again no other changes !? what to "Hear" ?
