The audible differences (if any I know the waveforms are different) are minimal. I asked my wife to listen to both versions and she thinks that version 2.3beta1 might be marginally better in the best of cases. So, in my subjective opinion, I didn’t perceive any significant differences between 2.2 and 2.3beta1 with that aria. Others, like Alfredo Kraus, Luciano Pavarotti and Elīna Garanča, simply don’t. For instance, recordings of Plácido Domingo and Franco Corelli sound truly 3D after undergoing the SpecWeb treatment. Not so with recordings of other opera singers. I must point out that, for some reason I can’t really understand, Ms Garanča’s recordings are not really amenable to normal surround treatment, as SpecWeb does little more than add some ambience to the recording. Balfe’s opera The Bohemian Girl), as interpreted by mezzosoprano Elīna Garanča. One is the aria “I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls” (from M.W. I’ve tried SpecWeb on two very different types of stereo recording. I must point out that the type of music I listen to is probably not the best to determine how good the improvement in the current beta is. If you tell me more about what "artifacts" you are hearing I may be able to be more helpful.Īll right, I’ve done a little experiment with SpecWeb 2.3beta1 and am going to report the subjective results. Originally written for the Plogue Biddle "Spec", predating SpecWeb, it still has some application, although it also predates the now default "Zone2" mode. ArcTan with Slice Blended Rears.Ĭheck out the "How to win with ArcTan" section of the guide, mostly written by the infamous/famous DKA.
Then you have various blend options, to either blend in some of the original stereo, or sound from an adjacent channel, or even from a different separation mode. spread between them would be one thing to try. but yes adjusting the center and front widths (which also adjust the back widths) so that sounds are firmly in a given channel vs. Re Artifacts, I remember posting about that as well. If you run into that just restart SpecWeb. At the moment I don't remember the timing but it is several hours (depending on the sample rate). There's a thread on that here somewhere and I had posted that is was fixed, but I later had to back out the changes and haven't gone back to it. Re: listening live, at some point, it will start to sound bad. I thought I tested from scratch in a VM, but thanks for finding a problem. MS C++ runtime or Intel C++ runtime.ĭid you run the installer in 2.3 (before 2.2)? What Dlls are missing? It can't really be DLLs in the folder but rather something installed, e.g. sp=sharingįor older computers (pre AVX instructions) Updated 1-15-2021: No other bug fixes from the previous version (yet). May run a little slower (while I work on speed vs. The default value is 0.04Ī goal of this Beta is to gather end user feedback on the default setting for Transient Threshold. will cause more of the sound to be treated as transient (fewer artifacts) and a larger value will cause less of the sound to be treated as transient (more separation). This is the slope of the sound change in volume at a given frequency and instant in time, so smaller values The threshold to determine what is transient is set with the below transientthreshold value. Starting with SpecWeb 2.3, arctan processes any "transient" sounds via the slice (-M0) method, to eliminate artifacts Improved transient smearing artifact reduction ("swishy" drums/cymbals) via new -y flag I don't think I've posted a beta version here before but let's see how it goes.įix for faint "tick" sound (like dust on vinyl) during up/down sample
