4.00 Beta 2.9: - "Gentle Giant - Two weeks in Spain"
Has now 1111 functions, with 32 new ones
This is the last beta-release for the Ultraschall-API4.00 and the feature-freeze-version. Until the final one, I will only fix bugs.
new in this release:
- Render_Loop
You can render now loops, including so called "wet-loops" which are loops, who include reverb and other such effects.
For them to be renderable properly, they need to "build up" the effects first until it sounds right.
Render_Loop does exactly that with 2-pass-rendering. The first one is the part, which includes the loop itself+the effects-buildup.
So it renders the part of the project until the reverb is build up fully+the actual part to be looped.
The second pass will cut the actual loop out of the first-pass-render and put it where you want it to be.
You can also influence the fadein/out time and style of the second-pass-rendering, so you can avoid clickings and pops due harsh cuts
at the beginning or the end of a loop.
- Secondary Rendering Support
This is so hot, it only exists(yet) in pre-releases of Reaper. You can set a secondary render-format. And if you render your project, it will render out into both files.
That means, you can render your project as WAV+MP3 at the same time.
And all rendering-functions of Ultraschall-API support that new feature, including the current project, projectfiles, render-presets.
- Marker-functions and Guids
All marker/region-functions return now the guid of the marker/region as well. Which is really nice for storing additional metadata for markers/regions.
You can also request the markers/regions by guid now.
- Envelope States
You can read now all envelope-states available. Setting will come soon as well.
- GFX_Init
Allows you now to center the window by setting x and/or y-position to nil
- MoveFileOrFolder
Tired of copying your files around when you just want to move them? Or folders? Behold: MoveFileOrFolder moves files and folders for you.
This speeds up moving files around in Lua by magnitudes.
- FXStateChunks and RFXChainFiles
You can load/store FXStateChunks from/to RFXChainFiles, which are the FX-Chain-files you can save within the FX-Chain-window.
- Capturing Screen and Windows
You can now capture screens and windows for screenshots(CaptureScreenAreaAsPNG and CaptureWindowAsPNG).
Thanks to edgemeal for that.
- GetTCPWidth
returns the width of the TrackControlPanel.
- More and bugfixes
as usual
