Questions and Bugs / Re: Virtual audio cabels

Aan de hand van de foutlog zie ik dat qmod als input en output default heeft gekozen omdat er blijkbaar iets mis is met de in- en uitgang.
Ik heb de software van portaudio doorzocht maar nergens is de term <Undefined external error> terug te vinden.
Ik ben niet bekend met de Beringher kaart maar kan het zijn dat je als output device de uitgaande poort OUT 1-2 van de Beringher moet kiezen?
Ik zie dat je de IN 1-2 hebt geselecteerd.

Test resultaat Playout -> Breakaway Pipeline -> Qmod
Ik had in eerste instantie moeite om mijn playout op de pipeline werkend te krijgen, deze werkt ook met Breakaway Pipeline. Daarom de oude portaudio DLL geinstalleerd.
en opnieuw opgestart. Daarna werkte het zoals het hoort. Qmod draait er ook op. Alles draait op MME. Daarna de nieuwe portaudio DLL teruggezet en ook draait het  nu. Geen idee waarom het eerst niet werkte.
Dus als je de oude portaudio DLL gebruikt zou het moeten werken.
Ik heb de oude DLL op de downloadpagina gezet.
Laat het mij weten of je succes hebt.

Update: plaatje toegevoegd

Hallo Parelduiker,

Gebruik je voor je opstelling the portaudio DLL van versie 20.1? Het is al een tijdje terug dat ik getest heb met Breakaway pipeline, dat werkte met MME goed WASAPI niet. Die test was met de oude portaudio DLL.
Ik zal morgen (12-05-2020) even een test opzetten en laten weten of ik de fout kan reproduceren.

Questions and Bugs / Re: New User - No Audio Output

Hi Panache,
Didn't know there's Facebook group that talks about Qmod.

1. Screen shot. What stands out is the high amout of the output peak control (bar 3 of the output display). Normaly it should be <= 5dB. It could be caused by the strange sound.

2. Sound sample. Just guessing now but could it be an unwanted feedback?
I noticed you're selecting the sound card directly. Did you try setting the M-Audio Audiophile 192 Sound Card as default audio interfacein Windows and set the Qmod audio I/O device to default?

Release Info / Qmod 20.1 released

« on: May 01, 2020, 02:06:51 pm »

===== Release info ====
- New: Silence detector and backup player. When there's a loss of input signal the silence detector will start a backup player and can send an email.
  It includes a samplerate convertor. So when using a samplerate of 192000 and the backup player starts playing a WAV file with a samplerate of 44100kHz it's going to take more processing power.
  On my system its ~20%.
- Addressed some internal timing problems. The changes effect the leveler release setting  below 4s. You might want to check settings.
- Added a new portaudio dll that includes fixes.
- There's no longer a console version. The dll doesn't give audio card information anymore. If a crash happens, the error is saved in the Errorlog subdirectory.
- Some minor changes on the fm section. Still not completely satisfied but it will do for now.
- Fixed some bugs.

Release Info / Qmod 19.2 released

« on: December 30, 2019, 11:01:59 am »

Release notes

===== 19.2 ====
- Added: More test tone frequencies in the fm section.
- Added: A third option to the fm output. st line does the fm preprocessing but does deemphasize the signal afterwards and doesn't add 19kHz and RDS. You can use
  the signal for an external stereo encoder.
- Changed: Improvements in fm, am and line peak control sections.
- Changed: Improvement in the treble section.
- Changed: After a suggestion from Sevenmizer61, excluded the 19kHz and RDS component from the composite peak control.
- Fixid: Several bugs.

Hi Sevenmizer61,

That sounds good. I've installed Telegram on my linuxdesktop. I'm using a dumbfone so this is the alternative.
Send me a p.m. with your contact information or I can contact you via the email address you used to register.

Hi,
I can't tell much about the GUI crashes. I've never had any problems om my test systems. The only time GUI crashes happened when I was using a system with an atom processor. I'm testing on a intel nuc i5-5250 and i5-6250 + 8GB memory. So maybe a processor problem? You could do a test by reducing the samplerate to 48000. It won't be stereo but the CPU takes about a 3rd of processing power, if crashes are gone it's most likely the the CPU capacity.

I use a composite peak control and it controls the full baseband 40Hz-53kHz but it isn't actual clipping just reducing gain on the parts that are to loud and therefor not producing many 3e harmonics. I'm gonna do some testing of splitting up the baseband as you suggested. The fm peak contol only affects the 40Hz-15kHz mono and stereo diff. signal before DBS modulation.

Release Info / Qmod 19.1 released

« on: August 01, 2019, 09:15:19 am »

===== 19.1 ====
Important:
From now on all support for Windows XP is no longer garanteed.
Version 18.6-32bit still had Windows XP support but to keep up with the Go language development I've decided to drop the Windows XP support.
Qmod could be working fine on XP but I've no way to test it.

- New: New resizable main window.
- New: A separate tab for pre-processing with now stereo+, low+ and treble controls
- New: Extra crash report. When a crash happens a file named qmodstackerror.txt appears in the Errorlog folder in the executable directory.
- New: A release hold setting. Values are 100ms - 2s with a step of 50ms till 1sec and 100ms above 1sec.
- New: A symmetry max. setting. Values are 0 - 3dB with a step of 0.
- Changed: Replaced the fm peak control with a new version for better spectrum control.
- Fixed: Several bugs.

Release Info / Qmod 18.6 released

« on: December 03, 2018, 10:33:57 am »

Release Notes

===== 18.6 ====
- Changed the low+ section.
- Changed some default preset settings.
- Replaced the Density control with five separate band controls.
- Removed the visual panel. It wasn't very useful and took unnecessary processing time when in use.
- Fixed: A wrong mix value of band 1 which resulted in a -2dB lower output of band 1.
- Fixed: When the peakcontrol was enabled it gave a glitch.
- Fixed: A few GUI bugs.
- Fixed: A timing bug in the leveler release and a bug in the core.

Qmod info / Qmod on Linux or Mac

« on: October 26, 2018, 02:07:21 pm »

You can run Qmod also on Linux or Mac by using Wine.

I've tested Qmod 18.5 x64 on Linux Mint 19 (Ubuntu 18.04) and Wine 3.03 stable. I have no Mac available so testing isn't possible by me. Feel free to test it yourself. You'll find more info on: https://www.winehq.org/

Release info

- Added: Buffer size up to 2048 samples.
- Added: A preset planner. Gives you the possibility to automatically set a preset for every hour or a range of hours.
- Added: Selection of the equalizer setup, pre or post processing
- Fixed: A wrong buffer could occur in some cases.
- Fixed: A misreading of the proper samplerate return value after reinitializing the audio card.
- Fixed: Solved a bug in the peak control which caused some harmonic distortion.
- Fixed: Some bugs in the preset selection.
- Fixed: A bug in the noise reduction.

Release Info / Qmod 18.4 released

« on: July 02, 2018, 02:16:53 pm »

Release info
- Changed: Stereo+ improved mono detection.
- Changed: Some GUI design changes.
- Changed: The values of stereo+ are in percent now. Old values are automatically recalculated except when your old value is 5 or 10, you'll need to change it yourself.
- Changed: Renamed the clipper section to peak control. It's more in line with what's really happening, controlling the peaks in the signal not clipping it.
- Changed: Make left and right mute work independant.
- Changed: Some changes in the correction algorithm of the balance control.
- Added: Display of the real output level as a blue line in the output vu

Thanks for the update.
I've downloaded vac and gonna check it out and maybe put a hint in the manual.
