What’s New

A plain running log of new tools and practical changes at SolAudioLab.

Notes are newest first. Older entries load as you scroll.

Bug fix: New patterns now use the selected bar count

Choosing 1, 2, 4, or 8 bars now creates a sequence with that exact number of bars. The fix keeps the desktop and mobile structure controls synchronized without changing saved patterns, drum sounds, or playback.

Tone Generator can now keep private tone and sweep presets

Signed-in users can save named tone or sweep settings with equipment, speaker, room, and problem-frequency notes. Existing browser frequencies stay local unless the user reviews an account import, and private frequencies can be copied to another browser without starting playback.

Speaker System Check can now keep private listening records

Signed-in users can save the place, speaker system, five-part listening checklist, wiring or polarity notes, problem frequencies, check date, and recheck date. The existing browser-generated test signals still work without an account, and results remain the user’s listening judgment rather than an automatic microphone measurement.

Acoustic Planner can now keep complete private room projects

Signed-in users can save a complete room project, reopen it on another desktop or notebook computer, rename or copy it, and delete it when finished. Existing browser projects and <span class="notranslate" translate="no">.acplan</span> file backups remain available, and Virtual Listening audio is never uploaded.

Metronome now has a focused mobile practice workspace

The circular beat display remains central while tempo, transport, practice, setlist and save controls fit into a page-scroll-free phone layout. Signed-in users can also keep private cloud setlists and completed timer sessions; browser setlists and TXT backups still work without an account.

Rhythm Creator now works like a focused mobile app

The pattern grid, playback and core editing controls now fit in one phone workspace without page scrolling. Signed-in users can also keep private cloud rhythms with their practice settings, while browser saves, text backups and share links remain available without an account.

Drum Machine can now keep private cloud patterns

Signed-in users can save patterns, reopen them on another device, rename or duplicate them, and delete them when finished. Browser saves, text backups, and share links still work without an account, and no audio is uploaded.

Feedback Trainer can now keep a private practice history

Signed-in users can save completed sessions, compare recent scores, and see which frequency band needs more practice. Only the result data is stored—no training audio is uploaded—and the full trainer still works without an account.

Audio Analyzer can now save lossless FLAC and high-quality MP3 files

The <span class="notranslate" translate="no">Adjust & Save Audio</span> workspace now creates <span class="notranslate" translate="no">24-bit WAV</span>, <span class="notranslate" translate="no">16-bit WAV</span>, lossless <span class="notranslate" translate="no">FLAC</span>, <span class="notranslate" translate="no">MP3 320 kbps</span>, or <span class="notranslate" translate="no">MP3 192 kbps</span>. The original audio stays on the user's device throughout processing and file creation.

Audio Analyzer can now correct the whole-track left and right level balance

The <span class="notranslate" translate="no">Adjust & Save WAV</span> workspace now includes an optional <span class="notranslate" translate="no">L/R CENTER CORRECTION</span> setting. It measures the average balance across the full stereo file and redistributes the left and right levels without reducing their combined energy before creating the new <span class="notranslate" translate="no">WAV</span>.

Audio Analyzer WAV adjustment now supports loud mastering goals

Desktop users can now choose standard playback goals, a loud master at <span class="notranslate" translate="no">-10 LUFS</span>, or an extreme master at <span class="notranslate" translate="no">-7 LUFS</span>. The <span class="notranslate" translate="no">PRESERVE</span>, <span class="notranslate" translate="no">BALANCED</span>, and <span class="notranslate" translate="no">GOAL PRIORITY</span> approaches provide clearly different amounts of level control.

Virtual Headphones browser and DAW workflows expanded

Virtual Headphones added a dedicated plug-in path and improved browser comparison flow. Favorites, recent models, Quick Compare, notes, and last-used settings make target checks faster.

Acoustic Planner became stable with deeper room checks

Acoustic Planner moved from public beta to stable. This update period also added reverberation estimates, level and decay result views, furniture-aware first reflections, Virtual Listening refinements, and desktop project-file opening.

Virtual Headphones is now open

Choose the headphones you own, load a familiar audio file, and compare the measured tonal balance of 2,898 headphones and earphones. The audio file stays in your browser.

Acoustic Planner public beta is now open

Build a room or venue in 2D and 3D. Add materials, furniture, acoustic treatment, speakers, and listening positions, then review practical acoustic estimates before changing the real space.

Public comments and replies are now available

Visitors can now leave a public comment without creating an account. Written comments from tool Feedback can also appear here, and SolAudioLab can reply directly below each comment.

Audio Analyzer file check refined

Audio Analyzer now explains that the score shows the technical condition of the audio file, not the artistic quality of the song. The waveform view also includes a small peak overlay toggle so dense peak markers can be hidden when they cover the waveform.

Feedback Trainer practice flow improved

Feedback Trainer now includes Free Practice, automatic next-round advance, and refined cut judgment. Listen Mode remains available for hearing each frequency band before training.

Audio Analyzer suggestions improved

Audio Analyzer now gives clearer Friendly Suggestions for files that need remastering decisions. It can suggest when to avoid more compression, when to repair peak problems first, and when to check stereo balance before final limiting.

Audio Analyzer loudness and peak analysis improved

Audio Analyzer now separates integrated loudness, sample peak, estimated true peak, and peak-event patterns. It treats isolated lossy-codec peak overs differently from likely hard clipping.

Tone Generator workflow refined

Tone Generator now keeps precise frequency control close to the main controls. Saved frequencies and an auto stop timer were added below the main panel, while longer usage guidance stays in the lower page section.

Home page directory tightened

The main tool area now uses compact list rows. The separate Quick Finder panel was removed. New tool badges now use a warmer orange accent.
