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.

The binaries are intentionally unsigned. Windows SmartScreen or Smart App
Control may display a warning.
