WaveShop v1.0.14.1 + x64 + Portable

This update fixes an issue with playing surround audio files in Windows 7.

In Windows 7, an audio file with more than two channels wouldn't play unless it had a non-zero channel mask with one speaker assigned to each channel. A zero channel mask indicates default speaker assignments and should work, but in Windows 7 it causes a DirectSound error. WaveShop now detects this case and synthesizes a channel mask.
Previous versions could crash while attempting to read a corrupted WAV file, particularly if the file's data chunk was smaller than expected e.g. due to truncation. Fixed.

This update gives WaveShop a more modern appearance, and also fixes some minor bugs.

WaveShop now uses Common Controls 6.0, AKA the XP theme. This gives the app a more modern appearance, and makes it more compatible with Windows 7 and Aero.
After opening an AAC or MP4 file, it appeared that the file could be saved in the same format, when in fact WaveShop can only read AAC/MP4 format, not write it. This made it easy to create a file with a file extension of .acc, but actually containing WAV format. Attempting to open such a file in WaveShop gave the error "Channel coupling not yet implemented." Fixed, by forcing a Save As dialog and changing the file extension.
In Windows 7, list controls weren't repainting their columns during column resizing. Dragging a separator in the list header caused a vertical line to be displayed indicating the column width, and column repainting was deferred until the left mouse button was released. In XP this behavior is associated with unchecking the "Show window contents while dragging" setting in Display Properties/Appearance/Effects, but Windows 7 works very differently. Fixed by using Common Controls 6.0; for details, see here.
If the Metadata Editor dialog was resized, the Clear button didn't move. Fixed.

WaveShop now supports metadata editing.

WaveShop now supports EQ, limiting, compression, and other effects, via LADSPA plugins.

A LADSPA plugin host was added, and the WaveShop download now includes some of Steve Harris' plugins. More plugins are available from the WaveShop download page.
The Spectrum dialog now lets the user optionally specify a frequency range.

This update adds one-touch and sound-activated recording, along with frequency sweep generation and clip detection in level meters.

A record options page was added, to allow one-touch recording (start and stop are immediate, with no prompts), sound-activated recording (start and stop are triggered by audio levels meeting specified conditions), and recording via global hot keys.
The /r command line flag was added, which causes WaveShop to execute the record command immediately upon launching. This makes it possible to schedule a recording via the Windows Task Scheduler.
A frequency sweep wizard was added to the audio generator.
The level meters now support clip detection. Left-click on a clip indicator to reset it, or Alt+left-click anywhere within the meters view to reset all clip indicators at once.
Changing the audio format was causing the realtime spectrum analyzer to display incorrect results; fixed.

can record audio, including surround

can open AAC files, and MP4 files containing AAC audio.

This update adds MP3 encoding via LAME. Note that libmp3lame.dll is NOT included in the WaveShop download, so you'll need to obtain it, e.g. from RareWares; directions are here.

A command was added to analyze the frequency spectrum of audio; see Audio/Spectrum.
A real-time spectrum analyzer was added; see View/More Bars/Spectrum.
In rulers and plots, the number of minor ticks now varies with unit and zoom.
Resizing the RMS histogram caused severe flicker; fixed via double-buffering.
Canceling during RMS statistics reenabled the main menu, allowing reentrance and potentially causing a crash if the document was closed before the RMS dialog; fixed.

This update adds peak meters, and channel names in the view.
A peak meter bar was added; it fully supports surround audio.
Channel names can now be optionally displayed in the view.
For 32-bit audio only, RMS Statistics handled the negative rail incorrectly; fixed.
Adjacently docked sizing bars were displaying an unexpected black border; fixed.
Editing speaker assignments caused the audio player to escape its loop; fixed.
Resample, Format, and Delete/Insert Channel were resetting speaker assignments; fixed.
