Hi there, I updated Dirac Live to the latest 3.1.1 version on my Mac last night. There appears to be two bugs which I wanted to see if others are experiencing:
1. The bright high contrast colour scheme makes the text in the filter generation page where you can check/uncheck items to see on the graphs appear the same colour as the background. This makes the text illegible.
2. When loading previous version measurements, it appears 3.1.1 does some extensive updating and the program takes some time to rebuild the filters. During the rebuild, some measurements came up with an error that phase correction could not be applied. Subsequent to that, a button appeared at the bottom allowing me to try phase correction again. When clicking the button, it seemed to do something but I can’t confirm if it did indeed complete the action.
The second item may be the root cause of the main issue I’m facing with 3.1.1, the applied filters sound different than the previous version, with one set of measurements creating a filter so bad that it sounds like the speakers are wired out of phase. The sound stage for that on set is diffuse and sounds very strange. I’ve opened a ticket with Dirac in regards to the above and will let this forum know if I hear back.
At this point, I’d recommend backing up your measurements before opening them with 3.1.1 in case you don’t like the outcome. I unfortunately didn’t do that, which means I’ll have to take all the measurements again with 3.1.1 to see if I can get the sound back to how it was before. Let me know if you come across these issues as well. The amplifier I’m using with Dirac is the NAD M33.
