  • update: VST Adapter (foo_vst.dll) v0.8.0.1 - очень удобный VST адаптер, советую. Наконец-то стабильная версия.
    
    0.8.0.1
    The adapter has been rewritten from scratch with considerable changes concerning VST plug-in handling.
    The [un]loading strategy was completely changed, so now core VST DSPs are always kept active starting with the fb2k at once.
    There is no “idle timer” anymore and the corresponding advanced setting has been removed.
    FXP loading/saving has been fixed.
    Some dirty and unsafe tricks were removed in order to increase stability and reliability, so VST settings won't be saved with a editor left opened on quit.
    
    Important note: To get your VST entries back in the normal (non-portable) mode, you should click Add... button in the preferences holding the Shift key. The registry won't be used to store VSTs anymore.

  • update: HDCD decoder (foo_hdcd.dll) v1.5

• update: TAK 2.1.0 - дождались. Теперь кодер поддерживает оптимизации SSSE3, а также способен использовать до четырех процессорных ядер. Вот он Прогресс! Оценить скорость работы нового кодера можно на странице сравнения lossless кодеров.
  V2.1.0 / 11-01-08
  
  This release brings speed optimizations and multi core support for the encoder. The dedicated LossyWav-codec that was available in the beta releases has been removed.
  
  Improvements:
  Encoding speed improvements of about 10 to 20 percent (depends on preset and cpu) for cpus with the SSSE3 instruction set. Since SSSE3 (note the three 'S') isn't supported by AMD, only Intel users will benefit from those optimizations. The encoder now creates up to four threads to utilize multiple cpu cores. Specify the thread number in the General Options dialog of the GUI-version or with the -tn option of the command line version. By default only one thread is created. You will only notice a speed up, if the encoding speed isn't already limited by the performance of your drives.
  
  Modifications:
  Added the -cpu# switch to the command line version, which lets you control some cpu optimizations. The file info function now also shows the name of the codec used to compress the file. Moved the verify-option from the details-dialog to the general compression options dialog. All dialogs with an Add-files-option locked the source folder until the dialog was closed. Hopefully this is no longer the case.
  
  Known issues:
  If you use pipe decoding and the application reading the pipe is beeing terminated before the whole file has been read, TAKC may get into an endless loop and has to be manually killed with the task manager. I don't think this is a big issue but i will try to fix it in one of the next versions. BTW: Big thanks to shnutils for testing the pipe decoding! There seem to be some compatibility issues with pipe decoding to some other applications ("crc1632.exe" has been reported). I will try to fix it in the next release.

Кое-что ещё

Продолжаются работы по изменению структуры и оформления сайта. Приношу извинения за возможные временные неудобства.

Кстати, слева Вы можете видеть блок с рекомендуемыми мною программами. Надо сказать, без большинства из них работа на компьютере представляется мне невозможной. Ссылки ведут на страницы загрузки официальных сайтов.
