There was a bug in the last version that could lead to a difference of one sample.<br />- Improved peak-hold algorithm. Higher precision at short bass peaks, like e.g. from a bass drum.<br />- Slightly longer release time at input material with a high loudness or/and a long sustain.<br /><br />LoudMax 1.08 should sound more consistent and precise compared to previous versions.<br /><br /><a href="http://free-vsts.com/files/LoudMax-1.08.zip">Download VST Plugin v1.08</a><br /><br /><a href="http://free-vsts.com/files/LoudMax_1_08.exe">Download Winamp Plugin v1.08</a><br /><br /><a href="http://free-vsts.com/files/dsp_LoudMax_1.08.zip">Download Winamp Plugin v1.08 (zipped dll)</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2469423923957412332-1432982817038858162?l=loudmax.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542964922255685358noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469423923957412332.post-42288278291778757722010-01-25T10:50:00.000-08:002010-01-25T11:09:50.112-08:00Uses the same algorithm as the VST version, but with a simplified user interface.
