Release Info / Qmod 18.4 released

« Last post by corb 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

Sorry, this is not working.
I think that key word is: [Invalid number of channels]
I have no idea how VAC works, but you can try trial version here:
http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
The same error [invalid Nr. of CH] I can get when set input to mic [mono] and output to speakers [stereo].
I have to use Virtual Audio Cable because this workstation runs multiple players / encoders.
I don't know other solution with 10+ virtual stereo channels.

[UPDATE]
Workaround was found: Set VAC cable format to exact bit depth and channel count.

Ok, it seems the WASAPI setting doesn't work with virtual cables. Select MME and everything work fine.
Instead of Virtual Audio Cable I used Breakaway Pipeline but that shouldn't make any difference. The codebase looks the same.

Setup is:
Playout -> pipeline 1
Qmod input -> pipeline 1
Qmod output -> pipeline 2
Butt stream encoder pipeline 2
api: MME

Hi Ainars, you're right connecting to a virtual cable isn't working. It will take some time to find out what the problem is.
However this is what I did to get a workaround:
Windows audio setup:
recording device -> pipeline 1
playback device -> pipeline 2

playout center:
playback -> pipeline1

streaming encoder (butt 0.1.15 in my case):
input -> pipeline 2

Qmod:
input device -> default
output device -> default
samplerate -> 44100
api -> WASAPI

Hope this helps.

Hi Ainars,

I don't have the same setup here but have something similar with breakaway pipeline and did some tests.
I'm gonna see if I can have a setup like you have.

Hello again,

New version (18.3) can't start processing. Last known working version - 17.9

Error Log:
2018/05/24 15:14:06 [Invalid number of channels]
2018/05/24 15:14:06 [audio card error >> please, check your audio card setup]
2018/05/24 15:14:08 [Invalid number of channels >> device: API=WASAPI inputdevice=Line 8 (Virtual Audio Cable)#80 outputdevice=Line 9 (Virtual Audio Cable)#71 samplerate=48000 framesize=256]

Can someone check if it is working.

My setup:
Player output = VAC Line 8.
Qmod input = VAC Line 8.
Qmod output = VAC Line 9.
Edcast (IceCast2 stream encoder) input = VAC Line 9.

Version 18.2.2 had some serious bugs so here's 18.3.

Release notes
===== 18.3 ====
- Fixed: The update check didn't check for point releases.
- Fixed: When you changed the buffer size Qmod would freeze.
- Changed: Rewrite of the device selection to have a better selection of the devices. It's now possible to run two or more Qmod instances at the same time Every instance will need it's own sound card. A bug in the device selection prevented this.
- Added: A name for your Qmod process in the main window. On the preset panel you can set the name.
- Added: The configuration window saves its position when closing.
