ABC/HR for Java 0.5a released Options

[schnofler]

I've just released a new version of ABC/HR for Java. You can get it here:

Binary
Sources

You'll need the JRE 1.5 to run this (download here).
To start the application just click the abchr.jar (on Windows) or run "java -jar abchr.jar" on a command line.

Improvements include better sound output routines, a new ABX component in ABC/HR tests and easier test setup (see next post for details).

I've noticed some bugs:

• when I restart a test, or start another one, the menu becomes a bit messy. See for example this screenshot: there's two "save test results" command. Currently, I must close and restart the app to avoid this.

• ABX module: when I choose a file for SAMPLE A, the selected file is systematically applied to SAMPLE B. For example, if I want to make SAMPLE A = Sample1, I obtain SAMPLE B = Sample1. I don't know if I'm clear, but I guess that's the easier way to understand is to try on your side

• Not a real bug: You can launch a test with Reference as only file. In other word, a test with nothing to test

• irritating thing, but maybe intended (in ABX module): If I switch from TEST mode to TRAINING mode, then return back to TEST mode, all my previous trials are erased.



I've performed my recent tests with this alpha release of java ABC/HR, and I never heard any pop or click during the whole test (due to high encoding bitrate, I was very concentrated and therefore highly sensitive to any artifacts, click, noise...). That's a big improvement (previous version of java abc/he were unusable for this kind of tests on my old Duron 800). Thanks a lot for this useful testing software



EDIT: is it really necessary to have two distinct buttons, one for choosing audio files and another to add them in filelist?
