V5.20.14 early access build

[KSTR]

I can prevent FlatLaf managing window decorations on Linux, these builds do that:

Excellent, that was quick. Problem solved, thank you so much :-]

Can you post a screenshot of the dark mode on Mint?

Here's what dark theme looks like in Manjaro (Kde, Kwin). I personally am fine with it, and very much prefer the font anti-aliasing that was absent previously, as well the widgets have a much more modern appearance. If the window title could be a different shade from the rest of the window, it would be clearer.

@phofman, using the "Daloa" theme (which has thicker window borders) and patching its "themerc" config file I now have a even higher contrast between active and inactive windows, clearly visible borders and I could finally select my favorite active color which is orange.
In REW with John's patch, this works well for both light and dark themes.

With window decoration returned to the OS in the builds I posted that will be something to configure in the native Window manager.

I'd like to request addition of Tukey 0.5, Tukey 0.75, and cosine functions to the IR windowing capabilities.

I have added Tukey 0.5 and Tukey 0.75, but I can't say I see the point of a Cosine window, assuming by that you mean a Sine window.

Thank you!

For the cosine function, I am just trying to replicate the same windowing that is available in VituixCAD IR processing, it's listed as "cosine" with the following shape, 4ms window shown here:

Tested and I think it's quite nice, I think should make everyone happy

That I very much doubt! I have added the Cosine window, I guess it must be good for something.

Cosine is a rather good function for merging near and far field responses, it provides very little overshoot/undershoot of the response as you approach the resolution limitations of the window. Tukey 0.75 is very similar as well for this purpose.

Thank you for adding this functionality to REW

Files updated today to fix a bug with overwriting files.

 

[dcibel]

Is that why I ended up with a 0 byte file the other day?

 

[serko70]

When I defined a frequency limit in A/B trace aritmetic, B being a target curve, the result has strange SPL and is nowhere to be found on the screen. I tried various regularisations, too:

If you were running 5.20.14ea11 then probably.

 

[dcibel]

No problem, I only lost my life's work.

The L2 response was zero at one point which caused a problem in the blending of the frequency limits, I have fixed it for the next build.

A copy of every measurement made in the last 7 days is in the temp folder of the REW log files folder.

Thanks, I wasn't a big deal but that's good to know.

@John Mulcahy,
bug report: "saving all measurement" into one single mdat not working, I get only a 1kB sized file containing truncated data on loading.
Using the latest build on Linux.

Really the latest, meaning 5.20.14ea12?

Looks like my "latest" was the state of yesterday morning, with 5.20.14ea12 it's OK now. Sorry for the confusion...

if you make measurements of electrical devices, such as a phono corrector for a vinyl record player, what is the smallest electrical signal that a REW can understand? In volts.

 

[John Mulcahy]

That's unrelated to REW, it depends on the interface and preamp used. REW can be calibrated to display value scales from 10^-24 ... 10^24 with the appropriate SI prefix.

 

[sm52]

This is very cool.

I have added Tukey 0.5 and Tukey 0.75, but I can't say I see the point of a Cosine window, assuming by that you mean a Sine window.

For reasons beyond my understanding, Tukey 0.5 right windowing performs much better than any other in terms of minimizing ringing.
