UADE 1.50-pre9 has been released. Grab it from:

http://zakalwe.virtuaalipalvelin.net/uade/uade2/devel/uade-1.50-pre9.tar.bz2

There are countless changes compared to -pre8. Most important changes are the new XMMS plugin and completely different filtering defaults. It must be noted that all songs sound different with the new defaults, even those which do not use filtering. The reason is that we used A1200 in the past which is does very little filtering when LED is off, but A500 does some filtering even when LED is off.

You may advocate to change defaults back A1200, so please send email if you feel that current settings are bad. However, if you want defaults to be changed, please tell us a song where you feel current settings are especially bad.

I must add here that switching back to A1200 is as easy editing uade.conf to have line:

filter a1200

If you didn't install uade2 to your home directory, you can do:

$ mkdir ~/.uade2
$ cp /path/to/share/uade2/uade.conf ~/.uade2/

And then you can edit ~/.uade2/uade.conf as your own config.

Sample starts and ends may occasionally snap a little. We know what's wrong, but are not yet sure what the correct fix is. (CVS is still broken at the moment.)

The problem largerly arises from the antialiser from misinterpreting certain situations when the period value is being updated or sample is just starting to play (and maybe also when sample has just stopped playing), and this tends to manifest as clicks during playback. Your favourite songs may not be affected, but some definitely are.

We have identified other issues with the playback as well, which we are investigating as well. Hopefully the next release will be entirely clicking free.

Also, something is wrong in the audio state machine. It seems that when audio is in state 5, the "cdp-&gt;evtime = maxhpos" breaks many songs and makes a lot of clicking, such as in the bass in brainbug's "shinin ol boots" and audiomonster's "nebulos".

We'll fix it too.

But as discussed at #amigaexotic, it is correct. The real problem is something else. This should be on the development list btw.
