Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #20202 (September 28th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

What does "silence threshold" under Silence Detection do?
« on: October 01, 2024, 07:25:43 AM »
To get my silence detector to relaunch the playback if internet drops in my case, I randomly whacked it to some four digit negative number and It worked. But what does it actually do?

It's trying to work out things based on the actual audio data values being received instead of using something that's doing smarter analysis of the audio data (something I need to get around to doing but the simpler mode was decent enough when I made the plug-in which was then merged into the wacup core). Depending on what else might be going on, a zero check might be enough or it needs to be changed with the extreme top/low values being more there if something weird is going on but if it's working for your setup then I'd just stick with it tbqh.
