The changes include:
Audio processing
- Response times are much lower when starting a sound or seeking within a sound.
- Speakers and microphone lines are now starting synchronized.
- Fixed dynamic volume normalization to be recalculated when seeking within sounds.
- Added karaoke audio option to defer the microphone output when playing on speakers and microphone simultaneously (configurable in the audio preferences).
Common media player functionality
- Added pause/resume, play previous file, play next file. Accessible from toolbar, Play menu or by special hotkeys (configurable in the hotkey preferences).
- About pause: you may resume playback with the pause button itself, but you may also change the play mode. It means, you can play a sound on speakers to a certain position, pause and then resume to play on speakers and microphone. It is disabled by default and can be enabled in the interface preferences.
- Added further special hotkeys to jump/seek in the played file and to change speaker volume by a configurable value.
- Added option to the Play menu to continue playback after current file, that allows you to play an entire soundlist. The play mode (speakers, microphone or both) is retained. When playing a random sound, then this option will continue to play random sounds.
- Added options to the Play menu to repeat the currently played sound or to repeat the soundlist, when the end of the list is reached.
- Added Shuffle list option to the Edit menu.
- Added option: Remember playback state throughout application starts. On by default.
Others
- Remember last open preference page throughout application starts.
- Added option to change the update rate of the seek slider, that shows the current playback position. Defaults to 60 updates per second. Previous versions were 10.
- Fixed volume input fields to only accept numeric values.
- Fixed sound recorder to record from the configured playback device instead of the default one.
- Troubleshooting report now contains extended device information.
- Removed File not found and Demo limit reached popups when playing sounds from UI. The appropriate message is now only shown in the status bar.
