What's new in Diamond Cut Forensics Audio Laboratory 8.13

May 7, 2012
  • New features:
  • Added new DeClipper algorithm for more accurate de-clipping
  • Added a pre-declip 6dB gain reduction feature to the declipper so you can declip files that are maxed out in one step instead of two. This gain reduction DOES effect the bypass mode as well.
  • Added mouse wheel zooming, with preference to turn it off
  • When adding a Folder of wav files to the tune library, track numbers will be set to the order the files are added.
  • Added feature to Tune lib column sorting to use track # after artist & Album, but if track# is 0, will use track modify time. This makes the tracks for ripped Vinyl come out in the right play order.
  • Added feature to keep all Fast Edit temp files in the same directory as the source file. This way entire edit sessions can be easily archived. Temp file names will contain the original source file name.
  • Added new mode to Harmonic reject filter. Uses all IIR filters instead of spectral filtering. Improves selectivity and lessens the effect off hollow comb filter effect on the audio.
  • Registration is not required if you already have DC8 installed on your system.
  • History view and Time display window are now automatically hid when the tune library is top window.
  • Changed upgrade registration so it does not look for old installations anymore. It will just do an email registration in that case.
