Where can I find the file with the settings (stand alone version) ? It's not in Program Files>Stereo Tool.hvz said:@Doctor_Technical: If you don't change any settings I expect the CPU load to be considerably lower with the new version (depending on what you have enabled).
Make sure that you save your current settings, then just install the new version. If you're not happy, install the old version again (can be downloaded at the download page if you scroll down a bit), and load the preset that you saved before upgrading again - that's all.
(Stereo Tool consists of only 1 file, DLL or EXE. Except for that it has one file with settings.)
By the way: Especially if you your goal is to keep the level constant, you should really upgrade - version 6.20 and later versions have a redesigned AGC that's much better at removing sudden volume spikes.

Thanks Hans...I'm trying to get a handle on why 7.20 doesn't come up on the last used preset. Can you tell me what action causes the .ini file to be updated with current information? I haven't determined yet if this happens on more than 1 computer and if older versions do it or not. Still fact finding.hvz said:@BobOnTheJob: It's in the user settings directory. Normally that's:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\stereo_tool.ini for Windows XP
C:\Users\<username>\stereo_tool.ini for newer Windows versions.
But you normally don't need to access it manually (unless there are strange problems).
That was my assessment of ST before the composite clipper was added. The $10,000 question is how many owners will be cool with a PC sitting on the floor doing their audio processing? Those who are are now in line to play with the big boys without paying the price of a front row seat.Sgeirk said:My ears do not lie. It is possible to get rrrright up to the loudness levels of contemporary boxes with ST...if not go past them....while sounding better and keeping dry voice cleanliness. Amazing piece of work.
