Re: Resonic 0.58a (Final Alpha) - fast audio player / browse

#31 Post by two »

Resonic was updated to 0.58a (Alpha 999). This is the final Alpha release.

Quoting:
Resonic Alpha 999 is finally here. Get it on http://www.resonic.at !

This big update brings numerous essential performance and usability improvements, tons of fixes, and a couple of new features.

This release also marks the end of the Alpha phase, and introduces version numbers. The website was reworked as well. About a year after Resonic was first released to the public the player's core is exceptionally fast, stable, and flexible enough to go Beta.

For a full list of changes, improvements, and new features read http://www.resonic.at/whatsnew or use the 'What's New' tab on the Resonic Facebook page. There are almost 70 (!) items in the changelog for this particular update.

New and updated keyboard shortcuts can be found here http://www.resonic.at/docs/shortcuts

Why don't you drop by the discussion forums some time?

A lot of work went into this. Thanks have to fly out to the supporters, the beta testing team, private testers, and to all the users sending me feedback all the time.

Enjoy :)

#37 Post by two »

Resonic was updated to Beta 0.6.3.
Full list of changes: http://www.resonic.at/whatsnew
This release adds much improved drag & drop functionality, a rename bookmark feature,
and fixes several bugs and issues.

You can now drag & drop copy and move single and multiple files onto Resonic's browser
from within Resonic, from Windows Explorer, and from other applications.
You can also drag & drop directly to Skype.

Please note that you'll have to re-configure some of your settings (e.g. hotkeys)
because of heavy internal changes. Your bookmarks won't be touched.

I posted this in the main page bu since there's the risk it gets deleted cause it's my first comment I will add it here as well...

The app updated to v0.7.1b but the download still points to v0.7b

Here's the right link but if you ask me, you should stick to v0.7b because v0.7.1b is just a special edition and that link will eventually expire.

This is a temporary dark-themed limited edition, not an official 0.7.1b update, hence it is not listed on the regular site.

This one got my vote, I like the wave form looks 'a la soundcloud' , and the software has perform well so far under windows 8.1 64Bits. I use it to play my own music and it did not crash once. Cool features and great effort. Thank you two.

Resonic was updated to 0.7.6b.
Full list of changes: https://resonic.at/whatsnew
Summary:
This release accumulates all the Player and Pro changes and fixes since the last official
0.7b Player release in December.
It also introduces experimental WASAPI support.

Remarks:
  • Recent updates of 'Windows Defender' and 'Microsoft Security Essentials' cause
    Resonic to start up very slowly, introducing lag and sluggish application performance
    (e.g. when switching files) prior to engine version 1.1.12805.0.
    If you are affected please open your AV scanner's settings and add a folder exclusion (exception)
    for the folder that you installed Resonic in (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Liqube).
    Adding an exclusion will in any case improve overall performance in Resonic.
    Read more here: https://resonic.at/faq#slowstartup
New features:
  • Experimental WASAPI support.
    Currently limited to shared mode (i.e. multiple applications can use the same soundcard,
    like with DirectSound) and stereo output.
    More features and options are planned. Please report any bugs you may find!
  • New shortcut: ALT-MENU (or ALT-APPS key) opens the main menu.
  • Bit depth column now shows a prefix for floating-point audio files (e.g. '32f').
  • A new type of icon (four lines) is displayed in the file list now for lossless
    and lossy Native Instruments STEMS music files.
    Read more about file list icons here: https://resonic.at/docs/file-list
  • Files copied (CTRL-C) or cut (CTRL-X) in Resonic can now be pasted in Windows Explorer
    on MTP USB devices like mobile phones, portable players (iPod), etc.
  • Now showing user's 'Downloads' folder as direct-access item in Resonic browser.
  • Resonic's built-in BS2B-based headphone crossfeed (headphones button) for the reduction
    of super-stereo listening fatigue is now available as a VST2 plugin for use
    in your favorite DAW or audio editor:
    https://resonic.at/tools/bs2br
  • Pro: High quality version of the built-in sound bank for .mid rendering/playback
    which grows the overall download size by about five megabytes.
  • Pro: New global hotkeys for pitch shifting up/down one semitone/cent, and reset pitch.
  • Pro: Pitched duration label in header can now be clicked to reset pitch.
Improvements:
  • Changed internal and external folder structure to be more straight-forward.
  • New folder structure for the setup version:
    All user data is stored in a folder called 'Resonic', located in your personal documents folder.
    Each flavor of Resonic uses its own dedicated folder
    (i.e., 'Player', 'Player Beta', 'Pro', 'Pro Beta'),
    so you can safely try Beta versions without messing up existing configurations.
    If you know what you're doing you can copy your old database files (.db)
    to the 'Database' folder of the new storage location.
  • New folder structure for portable version:
    All user data in stored in a folder called 'portable', located in the application folder.
    Storage behavior is controlled by the 'ResonicBoot.ini' file.
  • Improved startup user interface behavior in both fullscreen and windowed modes.
  • Faster startup speed.
  • Improved startup handling, especially when launching files from Explorer.
  • Improved file list icons to be more visible.
  • Improved status bar and behavior (click to hide messages).
  • Improved header and info bar performance
  • MacOSX resource fork files are now hidden from the file list.
  • File format detection improved.
  • Ogg files with different encodings are now properly detected,
    e.g. Opus or Speex content with an .ogg extension, as created by some apps.
  • Improved custom message boxes (keyboard and shortcut handling, button selection).
  • More consistent copy/move behavior based on Windows Explorer:
    holding CTRL during drag & drop will always copy,
    holding SHIFT during drag & drop will always move.
Corrections:
  • Fixed and improved version of startup restore (restoring the last-played folder).
  • Fixed browser not updating nodes correctly in certain cases when an external drive is connected.
  • Fixed waveform display issues with clipped 32/64-bit audio files
  • Fixed mouse cursor not being shown on waveform after the A-B button is clicked once.
    Besides, you can set the selection end with a mouse click,
    and you can alternatively press and hold the A-B button to create a selection.
  • Some UI elements were not properly updated after moving the mouse off them.
  • Fixed switch colors in global hotkeys configuration.
  • Shut up 'Auto-fit width not possible' message on startup (annoying when maximized)
  • Fixed F5 refresh bug when folders have been scanned recursively via 'Scan subfolders'.
  • Fixed a bug where certain settings were not remembered.

Resonic was updated to 0.8.0b.
Full list of changes: https://resonic.at/whatsnew
Summary:
This major update brings several fixes and improvements,
e.g. an issue that might have reduced mouse wheel functionality for multi-monitor users,
as well as updated support for user-provided Soundfonts for MIDI playback.
WASAPI support is now stable enough to be the recommended output system,
i.e. when you pick your soundcard in the preferences dialog make sure you try WASAPI first.
Use DirectSound (DS) as a last resort only, or when your soundcards requires it.
For the Pro version this release introduces experimental ASIO support.

Remarks:
  • Please note that the 'Play count' and 'Rating' columns currently reflect the metadata
    that is currently stored in the files that you play.
    Neither information can be changed, or is updated, for the time being.
    Meta editing will be introduced in a later version.
  • Tools like 'StrokeIt' might cause problems with Resonic popup menu or control behavior,
    e.g. require two clicks to open a menu, or focus loss with certain elements.
    This is most likely caused by the way these tools hook into Windows' mouse handling.
    In this case make sure you add Resonic to the tool's exception list.
  • Meta/waveform data is currently still only partially cached,
    i.e. after Resonic starts scans will always restart from the beginning.
    Full disk caching is coming in the next release.
  • Update check has been improved and is reenabled in this release.
  • You will have to set up your file list columns from scratch in this build.
New features:
  • Pro: Experimental ASIO support.
    Currently limited to stereo output, i.e. the first two outputs are used.
    More features and options are planned. Please report any bugs you may find!
  • Full support for ID3v2 tags embedded in AIFF (.aif .aiff) and Wave files (.wav).
  • Reduced CPU use and power consumption when the monitor or display is switched off
    (e.g. through Windows' power management) with the Resonic window open.
    Graphics rendering (waveform, analyzer, and other heavy elements) is partially stopped
    until the monitor or display is switched on again.
  • Remembering last selected page in configuration dialog.
  • Displaying current output driver (DS/WASAPI/ASIO) in lower right corner,
    which can be clicked to open soundcard settings.
  • Option to automatically run sleep timer on startup with the last-set duration.
    Click 'zZz' icon in status bar to access this feature.
  • Options to automatically start the sleep timer when the lid (e.g. on laptops)
    is closed and to abort the sleep timer when the lid is opened.
    Please note that the lid close option only works if the 'Lid close action' in your
    current Windows power profile is set to 'Do nothing' (see 'Control Panel' ->
    'Power Options' -> 'Edit Plan Settings' -> 'Change advanced power settings' ->
    'Power buttons and lid' -> 'Lid close action'), otherwise your system will sleep
    the moment you close the lid. (#1029)
  • Resonic now periodically reports its activity to the Windows power management
    and makes sure that the system does not go to sleep unexpectedly while
    playback is still running.
    Note that this feature intentionally does not affect monitor/display power saving.
  • New file list column 'Recording Year' ('Year')
    which maps to standard year and recording year meta tags.
  • New file list column 'Parent folder',
    i.e. the name of the folder that contains the current item.
  • New file list colum 'Path',
    i.e. the full path of the folder that contains the current item.
  • New file list columns 'Subtitle', 'Original title', 'Original album', 'Lyricist',
    'Original lyricist', and 'Set/disc subtitle'.
    These columns are associated with various types of meta data in files,
    e.g. ID3v2, WMA, APE, MP4, iTunes, etc.
  • Pro: New file list column 'Software',
    i.e. the software that was used to create a file.
  • File list columns are now grouped into categories in the file list header popup
    for immproved usability (right click any column header to see it.)
    A check mark next to the menu item indicates that a column is currently visible,
    or a category contains a column that is currently visible.
    Please note that many categories and columns of the Pro version are not available
    in the Player version and appear grayed out.
  • Added support for common sound banks.
    If you want Soundfont files to be available to both Resonic Player and Pro and Beta put them
    in the 'Documents\Resonic\Common\Sound Banks' folder.
  • Rescan your Soundfont files and update the sound banks list without having to restart the program,
    and open the sound bank folders (see 'Menu | Sound Banks').
  • Active (used-selected) Soundfont is remembered and restored on startup.
    While the Soundfont file is absent Resonic will default to its factory sound bank,
    but when it is available again it will be reloaded on the next startup,
    which is useful when Soundfonts are stored on an external drive
    (see 'Menu | Sound Banks').
  • Menu item for active Soundfont is now checked (see 'Menu | Sound Banks').
  • Tall popup menus that don't fit on the screen can now be scrolled via mouse wheel,
    or with the help of up and down buttons.
  • You can now middle-click the visualization button (right of volume bar) to go
    back to the waveform view.
  • Added 'Refresh this folder' to browser context menu,
    which rescans a single folder in order to reflect potential file system changes
    that do not show up automatically.
Improvements:
  • Improved rename and background monitoring in folder browser.
  • Hiding portable devices (MTP/WPD) from browser view for the time being because
    their data cannot be accessed properly at the moment.
  • Changed window restore/minimize/maximize behavior/speed, and added multi-monitor handling.
    Please report any issues!
  • Right-click on header filename now toggles popup menu.
  • File list row height is now affected by Windows UI scale, e.g. on Windows 10 tablets.
  • Improved startup restore of last play state (playing/paused/stopped)
    for both DirectSound (DS) and WASAPI drivers.
  • Refresh file list (F5) now works for recursively scanned folders.
  • Faster restoration of last-played folder in browser, improving overall start-up speed
    because not all parent folders have to be scanned.
    Only the last active folder is initially shown.
  • Improved usability in custom message boxes (arrow keys, shortcuts).
  • Opus decoder updated to libOpus 1.1.3
  • Improved sleep timer menu ('zZz' button).
  • Reduced troll-like annoyance level of 'Auto-fit columns' message.
  • Moved 'Sound Banks' menu from 'Menu | Playback' to its own item in 'Menu' for quick access.
  • Reworked file list column system and default widths for each column.
    If for whatever reason your existing column layout looks weird right click the column header,
    select 'Restore defaults', and set up your columns again.
  • Improved comment column display for tracker music files.
  • Improved taskbar control buttons (next to thumbnail) to be more visible (#1037).
  • Pro: Cue button menu opens faster and can be closed with a subsequent click.
  • Pro: Volume presets in dBFS scale in volume bar context menu.
  • Pro: More visible channel center line.
  • Pro: Improved behavior of pitch buttons (semitones/cents).
    You can use your mouse wheel on the buttons, you can click & drag them up and down and
    even pick up existing values when doing so.
    Reset now triggers when you click it and release the mouse button.
    An alternate way to reset the pitch is to CTRL-click them.
  • Splash screen now always opens on the last-used display on multi-monitor systems,
    and also fades out faster.
  • Resonic now shows 'Portable' in the titlebar if it's running in portable mode.
  • Light and Dark (Pro) theme color tweaks.
  • Portable version can now be run from network shares.
Corrections:
  • Fixed mouse wheel failing most of its functionality on multi-monitor systems when Resonic
    was being run on a screen left to the main screen.
    This issue resulted in the malfunctioning of important usability features like no-click
    scrolling on both browser and file list, application-wide volume changing (e.g. on waveform),
    using the wheel on pitch buttons (Pro), etc.
  • Fixed several visual glitches.
  • Fixed scroll issue on USB device connect/disconnect in browser view.
  • Fixed Twitter link
  • Header filename disappeared when trying to play an unplayable file.
  • Pro: Fixed origin time column always visible by default.
  • Fixed no sound being heard when playing MIDI files after audio device has been changed
  • Fixed user-provided Soundfonts not being found.
    Please put Soundfont files (.sf2, .sf2pack) in the appropriate 'Sound Banks' folder
    in your version's 'Documents\Resonic' folder.
  • Popup menus no longer crossing over screen boundaries.
  • Resonic might crash trying to scan certain folders or files that are not scannable
  • Fixed occasional problems related to saving/restoring columns.
  • Fixed double-click on column splitter not automatically resizing the remaining columns
    when 'Auto-fit to width, if possible' is active.
  • Waveform shape selection was a bit weird.
