Mixdowns working really well

Just wanted to say the new Mixdown algorithm is working really well in 4.0. Really accurate and the ability to graphically set the mix works well.

Just can’t wait for the Voicetracking in 4.1 :slight_smile:

Thanks, good to hear. v4 uses a really new algorithm that leverages BASSmix for accurate mixing. The algorithm is used for mixdown, container playback, and the Mix Editor.

Regarding voice tracking, I’m currently preparing the code by adding advanced recording functionality. Unfortunately, part of the playback code had to be rewritten as well, which is the reason why VT didn’t make it into v4.0 in the first place.

My current “low-level” to-do list is:

  • Rewrite WDM/DirectSound playback (done)
  • Rewrite WDM/DirectSound recording (done)
  • Rewrite ASIO playback (done)
  • Add ASIO recording (done)
  • Add WASAPI playback (done)
  • Add WASAPI recording

The new recording routines will also be used by the encoder, that is, it will be possible to choose between DirectSound, ASIO and WASAPI for both playback and recording (from/to any channel pair) in the encoder, which will help to reduce latency.
