What's new in MusicScope 2.0.5
Nov 4, 2017
- Minor bug fixes and performance improvements
New in MusicScope 2.0.4 (Oct 12, 2017)
- Special metadata in ALAC files caused the MusicScope to stop batch processing.
New in MusicScope 2.0.2 (Sep 29, 2017)
- Performance improvements and reduction of CPU load, especially if an internal Intel HD graphics is used.
New in MusicScope 2.0.1 (Sep 13, 2017)
- It is now possible to measure the noise density in relation to the spectral resolution (Hz/Spectral-Bar).
- That function makes it possible to measure the noise floor by placing the mouse cursor over an area within the spectrogram where no music, but only noise, is present.
New in MusicScope 2.0.0 (Sep 6, 2017)
- Updated and much more precise frequency range estimation algorithm to analyze whether high resolution audio files really contain frequency components beyond 20 kHz.
- The maximum frequency that still represents audio content is indicated by a red vertical line within the spectrogram.
- The COF switch (on the left side of the spectrogram) must be switched on to make use of this function.
- The new bit depth analyzer checks for the effective bit depth of 24 bit audio files. The analyzer is able to identify bits that just contain noise to estimate the number of effective bits used for the audio content.
- The measurement result is displayed in the “Bit Monitor” where the red marked bits just contain noise.
- The COF switch (on the left side of the spectrogram) must be switched on to make use of this function.
- Please keep in mind that the bit depth analyzer just works for 24 bit audio files.
New in MusicScope 1.8.2 (Sep 23, 2016)
- The selected audio device stays selected even after restarting the MusicScope.
- To decrease the CPU load it is now possible to set under Settings -> System the thread priority as well as the analysis speed.
New in MusicScope 1.8.1 (Jun 27, 2016)
- Bug Fix: DSD 256/512 file reader issue has been fixed.
- Special thanks to Daniele Berti who helped us to figure out some issues and who proposed and tested the 64 Bit version.
New in MusicScope 1.8 (Jun 27, 2016)
- The MusicScope Windows download has been split up into a 32 Bit and a 64 Bit version. Please choose the right download for your Windows version.
- Bug Fix: Faulty FLAC meta data does not freeze the MusicScope anymore.
New in MusicScope 1.7.7 (Jun 27, 2016)
- Bug Fixing: The analysis of DSD albums has been stopped after the first track when the „MusicScope Cloud Upload“ was activated.
New in MusicScope 1.7.6 (May 18, 2016)
- DSF (DSD) meta data handling optimized.
New in MusicScope 1.7.5 (Apr 30, 2016)
- Metadata reader optimized to access data that are not completely compliant to the standard.
New in MusicScope 1.7.4 (Apr 30, 2016)
- The MusicScope Cloud can now be searched additionally by Artist and User (Uploader Nickname).
New in MusicScope 1.7.3 (Apr 28, 2016)
- Bug-Fix within the FLAC meta data handling
- The MusicScope Cloud Viewer got an LRA (Loudness / Dynamic Range) column to get a quick overview
New in MusicScope 1.7.2 (Apr 27, 2016)
- Now it is possible to set a MusicScope Cloud uploader nick name. Just click on the cloud symbol within the upper right corner. The Cloud-View opens and then click on the gear symbol to set your nick name. All your uploads you did and do are automatically tagged with that nick name. Furthermore, the name is saved for future usage.
New in MusicScope 1.7.1 (Apr 23, 2016)
- The new MusicScope version prevents the MusicScope Cloud upload of an album that contains only one track. Please support us in building the MusicScope Cloud by uploading complete album measurements.
New in MusicScope 1.7 (Apr 21, 2016)
- The new MusicScope Cloud offers the possibility to share your album measurements with the MusicScope Community and to access measurements of other users.
- The MusicScope makes use of the embedded audio track meta data (FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, DSF/DSD and MP3) to upload the measurements as effortless as possible.
- Just activate the “MusicScope Cloud Upload” within the playlist and your data are automatically uploaded.
New in MusicScope 1.6 (Mar 1, 2016)
- New „Turntable RPM Measurement“ module for a high precision measurement of the turntable rounds per minute. It is possible to detect a deviation as small as 0.01%.
- Important bug fixes and performance optimizations.
New in MusicScope 1.5.1 (Feb 16, 2016)
- Optimization of the Ultra High Resolution Spectrum Analyzer Module
- Bug-Fixes: There were cases where the UHR Spectrum Analyzer Modul had errors
New in MusicScope 1.5 (Feb 16, 2016)
- The MusicScope Spectrogram got a new color mode (BRY). Furthermore, the standard color mode has been improved.
- The Ultra High Resolution Spectrum Analyzer is a new MusicScope module (Modules are located under Settings).
- The following features are part of the UHR Spectrum Analyzer:
- A frequency resolution of up to 0.67 Hz/Bin
- Extrem precise Amplitude measurements
- Spectrogram speed and color is selectable
- Band-Pass Filter to listen to dedicated frequency ranges of the record
- A „Frequency Translation“ makes it possible to listen to frequencies beyond the hearing capability by translating them down into the audible range. It is actually possible to listen to frequencies of High Resolution Records beyond 20 kHz.
New in MusicScope 1.4.8 (Feb 16, 2016)
- The MusicScope is now able to analyze a folder structure recursively. Just „Drag & Drop“ a folder, that could contain sub-folders, into the MusicScope. The resulting reports are saved right beside of the audio files.
- The Jitter Analyzer has been optimized to display all side bands for any selected bandwidth.
New in MusicScope 1.4.7 (Feb 16, 2016)
- The MusicScope is now able to analyze and playback DSD512 – Octuple Rate (22.5792MHz) Direct Stream Digital
New in MusicScope 1.4.6 (Dec 22, 2015)
- The MusicScope is now able to display a separate spectrum for the left and right channel. A mouse click on the „Left/Right“ label, just below of the frequency axis, activates the function.
- A new feature called „Panorama / Phase“ provides the ability to analyze for each frequency whether the signal is panned left or right. Furthermore, the phase between the left an right channel is displayed by using the same color code as used by the correlation meter. Activate the function by clicking on the „Pano/Phase“ label right below of the Spectrum frequency axis.
- Bug-Fix: It could happen that the DSD playback started with an out of phase left & right channel. That issue has been fixed with the current version.
