macOS builds are signed with a Developer ID and notarized. Windows builds are currently unsigned, so SmartScreen may show a warning — choose More info → Run anyway.
The Windows (x64) build links the Steinberg ASIO SDK for multichannel capture and is therefore distributed under the GNU GPL v3. The project source and every other binary (macOS, Linux, Windows ARM64) remain MIT.
What's Changed
New spectrum tools for tone-shaping (#9, #38):
- Persistent max peak-hold. A Max hold toggle draws each band's maximum as a solid white line that never decays, with its own Clear button. It survives Stop/Start and is deliberately untouched by Reset/Space; the toggle state persists across launches.
- Freeze-as-reference. Freeze ref snapshots the held maximum (or the live spectrum) as an amber background curve to EQ against — capture pink noise or a reference tone, freeze it, then shape another sound against the curve. Session-only; Clear ref removes it.
- Calibrated noise guide curves. A Guide dropdown draws what pink or brown noise at your Target loudness would look like on this meter — generated and measured through the same 96-band analyzer as live audio rather than an idealized −3/−6 dB per octave line, anchored via the same signal's integrated loudness, and tracking the Target input live.
- Clip ceiling on the spectrum. A dashed line marks the Ceiling value over the bars, and any band crossing it renders hot red. The line tracks Ceiling edits live, including while stopped.
- Spectrum hover readout. Pointing at the spectrum shows a crosshair with the frequency and level under the cursor, plus the max-hold, reference, and guide values when present.
