Software-update: Ocenaudio 3.20.2

Versie 3.20.2 van Ocenaudio is uitgekomen, een geluidsbewerkingsprogramma van Braziliaanse bodem met versies voor Windows, Linux en macOS. Het heeft uitgebreide mogelijkheden, zoals ondersteuning voor vst-plug-ins en het uitvoeren van een bewerking op verschillende plekken in een bestand tegelijk. Het openen en opslaan van bestanden gebeurt op de achtergrond, zodat het programma beschikbaar blijft. Verder is er een spectrumanalyzer aanwezig en het programma gaat zeer efficiënt om met geheugen. Het vergelijkbare Audacity heeft nog meer mogelijkheden en daardoor is Ocenaudio, zeker voor de beginnende gebruiker, net wat makkelijker te gebruiken. De changelog sinds versie 3.20.0 kan hieronder worden gevonden:

Changes in Ocenaudio version 3.20.2

Adds a frequency sweep to the Signal Generator, with selectable linear or logarithmic scale, curve shape and movement, and a preview of the resulting trajectoryImproves the Signal Generator dialog, with fields that carry their own unit and a more compact layoutImproves the plugins menu, which is now updated incrementally and no longer rebuilds itself while openFixes latency compensation for VST3 and Audio Unit plugins when applying effects destructively: the audio no longer comes out shifted, with silence at the start and the end truncatedFixes the loss of VST3 plugin settings when applying an effect, and makes "Default Settings" actually restore the parametersFixes crashes caused by plugins: faults when opening the editor and errors raised by the plugin itself are now contained, without taking the application downFixes the sizing of the native VST3 plugin editor on high-density displaysFixes levelled peaks that reappeared in the waveform when zooming outFixes the crash when opening a file of unknown size as raw PCMFixes typed tone frequencies, which were rounded and could fall outside the valid rangeFixes the resizing and flickering of the Quick Open results list on every keystrokeFixes, on Windows, a crash when dragging external files into the applicationOther bug fixes and improvements

Adds a frequency sweep to the Signal Generator, with selectable linear or logarithmic scale, curve shape and movement, and a preview of the resulting trajectory

Improves the Signal Generator dialog, with fields that carry their own unit and a more compact layout

Improves the plugins menu, which is now updated incrementally and no longer rebuilds itself while open

Fixes latency compensation for VST3 and Audio Unit plugins when applying effects destructively: the audio no longer comes out shifted, with silence at the start and the end truncated

Fixes the loss of VST3 plugin settings when applying an effect, and makes "Default Settings" actually restore the parameters

Fixes crashes caused by plugins: faults when opening the editor and errors raised by the plugin itself are now contained, without taking the application down

Fixes the sizing of the native VST3 plugin editor on high-density displays

Fixes levelled peaks that reappeared in the waveform when zooming out

Fixes the crash when opening a file of unknown size as raw PCM

Fixes typed tone frequencies, which were rounded and could fall outside the valid range

Fixes the resizing and flickering of the Quick Open results list on every keystroke

Fixes, on Windows, a crash when dragging external files into the application
