SimpleCast 0.9.0 beta 13
Beta 13 adds direct audio capture from a chosen Windows program and mixes it
with the selected recording device for karaoke and live performance.
What is new
- Keep a microphone or mixer selected under Recording device, then choose
an optional second source under Program audio. - Capture Chrome, Spotify, KaraFun, VLC, or another running program through
Windows WASAPI process loopback. - Child-process audio is included, which supports multi-process applications
such as web browsers. - Recording-device and program audio are mixed into one stereo signal before
metering, processing, sound testing, recording, and multi-server broadcast. - Independent 0–200% volume controls make it easy to balance a singer's
microphone against karaoke backing music while live. - Saved programs are rediscovered by executable path when their process ID
changes. - The interface explains when a saved program is closed or the Windows version
does not support per-process capture.
Compatibility
- Program audio requires Windows build 20348 or newer; Windows 11 is
recommended. - A selected program must remain running. If it closes, SimpleCast reports the
stopped source instead of continuing an empty broadcast. - DRM-protected playback may return silence.
Verification
- All automated tests pass.
- The native x64 capture helper builds with Visual C++ and the Windows SDK.
- Real process-loopback PCM capture was verified at 44.1 kHz stereo.
- Automated PCM tests verify stereo addition, mono microphone duplication, and
safe clipping at full scale.
