 New Features

1. Added Low Frequency Shelf control to the Paragraphic EQ, plus dozens of new presets to use this feature.
2. Improved the performance of the Stretch and Squish filter
3. Removed Features
   Removed the Direct Spectral Editing feature from DC8.

DC8.15 Release Date 4/19/13
New Features

1. Added the ability to normalize left channel or right channel independently. This appears to work before but really did not, nor was it supposed to. It would always use the overall peak value regardless of channel.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed bug with resample function saving 8 bit files as 16bits
2. Fixed the feature to save temp files in same directory as audio files. It was not able to be turned off.
3. Fixed Track Spin control on the MP3 encoder dialog
4. Fixed Spectrum analyzer when switching between files of different sample rates.
5. Fixed bug in batch editor when creating VBR mp3 files. It now uses the default settings from the preferences dialogs
6. Fixed bug using spectral interpolate function. Some times it could crash on complex music
7. Fixed Big Click filter bypass function
8. Fixed bug opening an MP3 or other non-wave file from the command line
9. Fixed bug in the click filters on mono files using solo mode. The bug would cause bad replacements in the audio

DC8.13 Release Date 4/1/12
New features:

1. Added new DeClipper algorithm for more accurate de-clipping
2. Added a pre-declip 6dB gain reduction feature to the declipper so you can declip files that are maxed out in one step instead of two. This gain reduction DOES effect the bypass mode as well.
3. Added mouse wheel zooming, with preference to turn it off
4. When adding a Folder of wav files to the tune library, track numbers will be set to the order the files are added.
5. Added feature to Tune lib column sorting to use track # after artist & Album, but if track# is 0, will use track modify time. This makes the tracks for ripped Vinyl come out in the right play order.
6. Added feature to keep all Fast Edit temp files in the same directory as the source file. This way entire edit sessions can be easily archived. Temp file names will contain the original source file name.
7. Added new mode to Harmonic reject filter. Uses all IIR filters instead of spectral filtering. Improves selectivity and lessens the effect off hollow comb filter effect on the audio.
8. Registration is not required if you already have DC8 installed on your system.
9. History view and Time display window are now automatically hid when the tune library is top window.
10. Changed upgrade registration so it does not look for old installations anymore. It will just do an email registration in that case.
11. Updated help file

Bug fixes:

1. Fixed bug in resample with modified file in fast edit mode
2. Fixed mouse wheel scrolling on second monitor
3. Fixed a number of batch editor errors on resample
4. Fixed bug in the file naming algorithm that would error on files that had numbers in them larger than 9999
5. Fixed bug that would cause a crash if scrubbing a file and the file was closed.
6. Fixed bug in Batch editor that would report error about copying a pkf file for each file during file conversion
7. Fixed bug in Batch editor that would put up a message about file length changing after speed change
8. Fixed bug in playing and loading FLAC and OGG files in DCtunes.
9. Bug fixes to zooming functions
10. Bug fix to batch file “Add Files” button, would not remember path when selecting multiple files.
11. Fixed bug that dropped track Numbers when ripping from a CD. Track numbers will be properly transferred to Tune library now.
12. Added a minimum column width check in DCTunes to prevent columns being hidden accidentally
13. Fixed Marker naming function so you can move back and forth between markers without closing the dialog box
14. Fixed bug with file save as, on XP using file types other than wave files. Extension would not get added properly.
15. Minor updates to registration system for Win7
16. Improved spectrogram resolution and control using sliders, states remembered.
17. Fixed memory leak in Fast Edit mode
18. Fixed bad behavior of slider in spectro preferences
19. Fixed smoothing not sticking in CNF
20. Fixed Spectrograph preferences
21. Fixed bug in DCTunes random play function.
22. Fixed click counters in ezimpulse when using left only or right only channel selections
23. Fixed spectrum analyzer redraw issue in averaging mode with dual waveforms

Minor Bug Fix release with a few new features

1. Changed DC7 theme so it uses the default button style, same as the real DC7. This was done so some high contrast themes work properly.
2. Added a Gang checkbox in the file converter to enable both sliders to move together.
3. Changed the function of the Spectrogram display sliders. The rightmost slider is the max level and the inner slider is the min level for the spectral display. This now allows precise setting of the min and max levels for much better control of the spectral display.
4. The spectrogram slider positions are remembered for the spectrogram mode.
5. In the DC Tunes Library a new preference has been added to either use the Broadcast Wave properties info for the playlist names or not.
6. Fixed a crash in fast edit mode with longer edit sessions.
7. Fixed a few presets that had bad values in them.

2. Fixed the length error message with the Subsonic filter on long 96kHz files
3. Changed Databurner default file system type to Joliet.
4. Fixed the Narrow Crackle length error
5. Fixed EzImpulse length error
6. Fixed length errors on some multifilter presets.
7. Fixed the Edit file from TuneLib menu. Edited wave file had incorrect paths
8. Fixed tune lib rename of multiple tunes. It would incorrectly duplicate some fields and not change others.
9. Changed install to make temp path different on Win7 to prevent it creating a virtual store.
10. Fixed window style on Big Click Filter
11. Fixed error message while deleting playlist files, so it does not delete the actual tracks.
12. Added check on CD burner size before starting burn.
13. Fixed Median filter 78 RPM preset

Note: Windows 7 users. The Preset directory will still default to the “Program Files Diamond Cutd Dc8presets” directory even though this will cause Win7 to create a virtual store for these files. If you do not want a this, you should move all the presets to the users DC8 directory and change the preset path in the preferences.
