A realtime<strong> mastering bus<\/strong> now automatically applies some dynamic range compression and excitation to enhance the overall sound quality of your jams. In other words, everything just sounds better.<\/p>\n<p>2. There should be <strong>improved\u00a0compatibility\u00a0with soundcards<\/strong> using the default Windows Vista\/7\/8 WASAPI audio API. We&#8217;ve made adjustments to provide a better out-of-the-box experience on Windows so you hopefully won&#8217;t have to mess around in the preferences before your soundcard works. We tested this on a range of hardware, but if you run into any audio issues on Windows with SongStarter, we&#8217;d appreciate it if you <a href=\"mailto:support@oscillicious.com\">got in touch<\/a> so we can fix them for good.<\/p>\n<p>Also included in this update are a handful of other bugfixes, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed pops when switching drum beats<\/li>\n<li>Updated help screen now points to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oscillicious.com\/songstarter\/pages\/tutorials\">SongStarter help page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>External audio input latency has been slightly reduced.<\/li>\n<li>Improved compatibility with certain Windows recording\u00a0devices.<\/li>\n<li>Turned it to 11 &#8211; the overall volume is louder, should be closer to other applications.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug in which loops of certain lengths would get rounded incorrectly in the Freestyle Recorder&#8217;s tap tempo screen.<\/li>\n<li>Switching drum beats now sets the project tempo to the original tempo of the drum beats. No more chipmunk DNB drums when you&#8217;re trying them out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As usual, <strong>SongStarter owners<\/strong> can update their full version using the links in their original registration email or by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oscillicious.com\/downloads#customers\">our downloads page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For those just passing by, an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oscillicious.com\/downloads\"><strong>updated SongStarter trial is available for download<\/strong><\/a> for Windows and Mac OS X.
