New AWT2 release offers new -slice_length & -slice_step feature that allows analyzing (decoding) long audio recordings by slices. It is especially useful for watermarks search in recordings of broadcasts in which not the whole recording is watermarked, but only parts of it (e.g. particular songs in radio broadcast). AWT2 User Guide contains detailed explanation of the feature and provides examples.
AWT2 version 0.08.9 brings full support of multichannel wave files (3, 4, 5, …, 12 channels are no problem now).
Additionally, several unpleasant bugs were fixed in GUI tool for Windows, Linux and Mac OS as well as in command line tools. In particular, the tools were not able to operate with file paths containing spaces. Now it should be OK under any OS.
FFmpeg static binary has been added into Mac OS package for more convenience.
AWT2 0.08.8 has been published today. The new version brings significantly improved support for wave (.wav) files of different types. In particular, WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE waves are now fully supported. AWT2 now supports any files sampled at 192000, 176400, 96000, 88200, 48000, 44100, 32000, 22050, 16000, 11025, 8000 Hz, signed 16-/24-/32-bit little-endian PCM or unsigned 8-bit PCM, 32-/64-bit IEEE float, mono or stereo.
