BananaSplit 2.8.16: a gate and a compressor on every strip

Every input strip now has a noise gate and a compressor, like Voicemeeter Banana's hardware strips (#40, #41). On Linux, Windows and macOS.

New

  • Gate: turns a strip off while it is quieter than its threshold, for example the hiss and room noise of a microphone between words. Settings: threshold, range (how far down: −80 dB is silent), attack, hold and release. It closes 4 dB below the threshold, so it doesn't flutter.
  • Compressor: brings loud and quiet parts closer together, for a steadier voice on Discord, OBS and in recordings. Settings: threshold, ratio, knee, attack, release and make-up gain.
  • Where: the new DYN button next to EQ on a strip opens both, with a bar that shows how far each one turns the strip down right now (key D). In the terminal UI, g switches the gate and C the compressor, and a D flag shows on the row.
  • Both sit before the EQ, react to the level after the GAIN knob, and add no delay. Off by default: a strip without them sounds exactly as before.
  • Saved in the config and in scenes. A config or scene that doesn't use them still loads in 2.8.15 and older.

Also

  • A network-audio (VBAN) test that started failing on GitHub's slower macOS machines now gives them more time (#42, #43). Nothing changes in the app.
  • The manual for this version is attached: BananaSplit-Manual-2.8.16.pdf.

Updating

  • Linux and Windows, from 2.8.0 or newer: Menu ▸ Check for updates… ▸ Install, or bananasplit --update. Flatpak: install the new .flatpak from this page.
  • From 2.7.3 or older: install 2.8.16 by hand once. From then on it updates itself.
  • macOS: download bananasplit-2.8.16-macos.zip, quit BananaSplit and replace the app in Applications. Open it the first time with Open Anyway (System Settings › Privacy & Security), and allow the microphone again if macOS asks.
  • Configs, scenes, recordings and the apps you put on strips before load as they are. A take that is recording while you update ends with the restart.
