Software-update: Ocenaudio 3.21.4

Versie 3.21.4 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 3.21.0 kan hieronder worden gevonden:

Changes in Ocenaudio version 3.21.4

• Adds SoundTouch as the default speed-change engine, with a smoother transition
• Adds a safeguard against audio device failures on open
• Improves editing during playback, which no longer restarts the transport
• Improves the preview gain adjustment while the file is playing
• Improves the toolbar time display during playback
• Fixes a continuous CPU usage caused by the menu state update
• Fixes failures loading, instantiating and closing VST2 and VST3 plug-ins
• Fixes noise and dropouts when changing the playback speed
• Fixes the marking of possibly clipped samples
• Fixes Normalize, which now follows the visible level guides
• Fixes the sidebar, which did not appear on the first click after a resize
• Fixes hangs when stopping a recording and when switching the output device on Windows
• Other bug fixes and improvements

Changes in Ocenaudio version 3.21.3

• Fixes recording without pre-roll, which inserted the take about 0.2 s before the cursor and pushed the material immediately before it to after the recording
• Fixes the toolbar popovers in full screen on macOS: they now follow the toolbar when the menu bar is revealed, and the bar animation no longer stalls while a popover is open
• Fixes terms that were still shown in English in translated languages, among them the speed engine names and the group names in the shortcuts table
• Fixes the Windows installer, whose internal plug-in shipped without identification and could therefore be treated as unknown by the system
• Other bug fixes and improvements

Changes in Ocenaudio version 3.21.2

• Adds stereo recording from a pair of device inputs, chosen in the recording routing, with the meter split across both channels
• Adds a safeguard against an audio device that brings the program down: the next time the program opens, it is quarantined instead of being opened again
• Improves the preview of the gain visual tools — fade in/out, ramp and ducking can now be adjusted while the passage plays, without restarting playback on every change
• Improves preset handling in VST2 plug-ins: switching is much faster, the plug-in editor follows the chosen preset, and the preset takes effect on Apply even without pressing Play
• Improves recording on Linux with PipeWire and PulseAudio, which keeps the input open for the session and preserves the routing made in the graph from one take to the next
• Improves the routing popover on smaller screens, with scrollable content and a size measured against the space available below the point where it was opened
• Improves the recording cursor with pre-roll, which takes over at the first recorded audio instead of appearing ahead after a freeze
• Improves the file names suggested when saving the tracks produced by Ocen AI and by duplication, which now inherit the name of the source file
• Fixes the gain applied to a selection, which ended up applying to the whole file when clicking outside it, on macOS and Linux
• Fixes PCM export inside containers such as MP4, which produced a file with no audio while still reporting success
• Fixes effect previewing on mono files, which came out distorted with both built-in effects and VST2 plug-ins
• Fixes distorted previewing in Audio Unit plug-ins on macOS
• Fixes an unexpected shutdown when previewing noise reduction
• Fixes unexpected shutdowns when starting and stopping playback and when opening and closing audio devices on Windows, with WASAPI and with ASIO, including when the driver fails during probing
• Fixes recording with pre-roll, where the cut point drifted after the punch and the start of the take came out with pitch variation and clicks
• Fixes language switching, which now takes effect immediately, and parts of the interface that stayed in English even with the translation available
• Fixes the preferences window, which now opens on the same screen as the main window
• Fixes previewing in Dynamics Processing when switching between Hard Limiter and the other tabs
• Fixes icons and indicators cut off on Windows when the screen uses fractional scaling, such as 125% and 150%
• Fixes the installer being blocked by Windows, caused by an internal installer component that shipped unsigned
• Other bug fixes and improvements

Changes in Ocenaudio version 3.21.1

• This version was withdrawn shortly after release because an internal installer component shipped without a digital signature, and Windows could block it during installation. Please use version 3.21.2 or later.
