LASTAR is a small, simple, very easy-to-use, batch audio processor. The application allows loudness adjustement and file splitting of a batch of audio recordings, using audio transparent maximizer with just a few clicks.
At the opposite of usual available softwares, loudness normalization is done on signal power, which leads to a louder and more homogeneous result than a usual "peak" normalization, in particular on live recordings.
Here are some key features of "LASTAR":
· WAV or MP3 input,
· WAV or 192 kb/s MP3 output
· Design to process large files (several Go)
· Automatic file analysis to set up the best parameters
· RMS Amplifier with fast look ahead limiter to prevent clipping
· Left / right channel automated balancing
· Transparent and fast 3 bands processing (using FIR implemented by multi-threaded FFT convolution)
· Automated amplifier gain adjustment and noise estimation for file splitting
· Smooth automatic gain control (AGC) to compress dynamic without "pumping" effect

· Added : integer 8 to real 64 bits support in Wav output. The bit depth of output is now the same as the input for Wav files.
