Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.8.3

MacOS X Intel
An issue with channel sensitivity adjustments in the Meter Bridge and Sound Level Meter tools has been addressed.
When loading Room Analyzer tools from a project file, if a permissions error occurs for an audio file being used for analysis, an Open dialog will be presented with the file in question selected. Once the file is then manually loaded via the dialog, the permissions will be properly set for the next time the project is loaded. This is an issue with sandboxed copies of Electroacoustics Toolbox downloaded from the Mac App Store.
The Room Analyzer tool’s plotting is more reliable when loading the tool from a project file on recent versions of Mac OS X.

Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.8
Mar 3, 2015
MacOS X Intel
Versions 3.8 of SignalScope, SignalScope Pro, and Electroacoustics Toolbox for Mac OS now offer built-in support for USB measurement microphones from miniDSP and Dayton Audio as well as the model 333D01 USB accelerometer from Digiducer.
Each app directly supports the miniDSP UMIK-1 and Dayton UMM-6 USB measurement microphones. Sensitivity calibration data for these mics can be downloaded automatically, just by entering the mic’s serial number. Making calibrated sound level measurements is as easy as plugging in the UMIK-1 or UMM-6, typing in its serial number, and getting started with the analysis tool of your choice (the serial number only needs to be entered once, after which the app will remember the microphone sensitivity). An internet connection is required to download sensitivity information for the microphone.
Each of these apps also directly supports the Digiducer 333D01 USB digital accelerometer, and can automatically load serial number and sensitivity calibration information directly from the device. Making calibrated acceleration measurements is as easy as plugging in the 333D01 and getting started with the analysis tool of your choice.
Various bugs and potential instabilities in each app have been corrected.
These apps all require Mac OS version 10.7 or later.

Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.7
Dec 4, 2014
MacOS X Intel
All Faber apps for Mac OS received updates to improve their compatibility with Yosemite (Mac OS 10.10). Electroacoustics Toolbox 3.7, SignalScope Pro 3.7, SignalScope 3.7 and SignalSuite 4.7 are all 64-bit applications that have been built for Yosemite.
The Room Analyzer tool, available for in-app purchase in Electroacoustics Toolbox, now calculates room parameters in whole or 1/3-octave frequency bands from impulse response data that has been sampled at higher sample rates (88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz), in addition to sample rates of 44.1 and 48 kHz that were supported previously.
The Octave Analyzer tool, found in both Electroacoustics Toolbox and SignalScope Pro, also now supports the higher sample rates for real-time spectral analysis of input signals in whole or 1/3-octave frequency bands.
The Dual FFT Analyzer (only in Electroacoustics Toolbox) and FFT Analyzer tools now support additional dB vertical scale factors of 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, or 18 dB per division in the graphic display.
Various bugs and potential instabilities in each app have been corrected.

Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.5
Apr 17, 2014
MacOS X Intel
Version 3.5 of Electroacoustics Toolbox extends AppleScript support to the Room Analyzer tool (sold separately), which enables automated room acoustics analysis and data retrieval via AppleScript. Now, in addition to automating the acquisition of impulse response data, users can employ AppleScript to control the analysis of that data to extract relevant room acoustics parameters.
With increased automation capabilities, the Room Analyzer tool also now takes additional steps to verify the accuracy of acoustic decay time estimates, including T20, T30, T60, and EDT. For each of these parameters a nonlinearity value (in per mille, or parts per thousand) indicates how close the acoustic decay approaches a straight line, which is the basic assumption in reverberation time estimation. A nonlinearity value greater than 10 suggests that the user might want to take a closer look at the data to determine whether adjustments must be made to the integration limits for the decay curve to get a more accurate measurement.
Version 3.5 also addresses some issues, which include the following:
Room acoustics parameters are properly plotted across 1/3-octave bands in the Room Analyzer tool.
Radio buttons are properly deselected in the IR source drawer of the Room Analyzer tool when switching between Dual FFT or Oscilloscope measurements.
A bug has been addressed that could prevent the “Try” buttons in the project window from successfully opening a trial of the Noise Dosimeter or Room Analyzer tool.

Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.4.2
Jan 28, 2014
MacOS X Intel
All Faber apps for Mac have been updated to make more efficient use of resources. Two issues have been corrected which could potentially lead to excessive memory use.
Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.4.1
Nov 27, 2013
MacOS X Intel
Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.2
Apr 19, 2013
MacOS X Intel
• The new Room Analyzer tool employs the integrated impulse response method for calculating the acoustical parameters of a room. Schroeder reverse integration of the squared impulse response produces a decay curve, from which the Room Analyzer calculates reverberation time (RT60), early decay time (EDT), center time (Ts), clarity, and definition for the entire audio frequency band and in whole or 1/3-octave frequency bands.
• The Noise Dosimeter tool measures daily noise dose according to standard methods (a calibrated measurement microphone is required to make repeatable, accurate measurements). The noise dosimeter offers criterion sound levels of 80, 85, and 90 dB with 3, 4, and 5 dB exchange rates.
• Version 3.2 also fixes various bugs.
Electroacoustics Toolbox v 3.1.1
Feb 28, 2013
MacOS X Intel
• Help is now available from within the app as a PDF file.
• Spectrogram behavior upon loading from a project file has been improved.
• The stability of all FFT-based tools has been improved.
• Other minor and cosmetic issues have been addressed.
