Software Changelog

If you experience inconsistencies with this Beta version, please report them to us and use the latest stable version of Dirac Live.

Features

• ART support range tag-along controls (DS-1989)

  • ART support range settings are, by design, constrained by the ART active range of the main group, and vice versa. The way the constraint was originally implemented in Dirac Live version 3.13.9, users had to make tedious adjustments with limited visibility across different groups.

  • With the new tag-along control feature, a user can now force the limiting settings in other groups to tag along with the currently controlled setting by holding the SHIFT button while dragging the support range slider or holding SHIFT when hitting Enter in the F_support_low text box.

• Fail fast if the connected device is in a bad state (LIVE-4815)

  • Sometimes, a Dirac Live enabled device can be in a bad state that may cause issues later, for example failing to design a Dirac Live filter or failing to export a filter.

  • To avoid the inconvenience of having made measurements that cannot be used, the Dirac Live application will now recognize some common bad device states already when connecting to it, and notifying the user to restart the device before proceeding.

• Support for legacy devices (LIVE-4793)

  • Some older Dirac Live devices have not updated their firmware to support the current version of Dirac Live. Owners of these devices have relied on our legacy application Dirac Live Calibration Tool (DLCT) for new room corrections. The DLCT backend servers will be taken offline in early 2026, and therefore, the DLCT application will stop to function.

  • To not leave customers behind, a new proxy feature has been added to the current Dirac Live application. With that, the current Dirac Live application will be able to connect to legacy devices for measurements and filter design.

  • Important note to customers with such legacy devices: Make sure DLCT is properly installed (but not running) on the computer where you also install and run the current Dirac Live application. This is necessary for the current Dirac Live application to locate and use the DLCT-bundled software component that is used to communicate with the legacy device.

• UI improvements

  • Improved contrast on some graphics (APP-570)

  • Improved user guides and error messages (APP-563, APP-574, APP-613)

• Stability improvements

  • Updated Qt framework to version 6.9 (APP-593, APP-612)

  • Dropped support for macOS 11.x (affected users can stay on version 3.13.16)

Bug fixes

• ART active range was constrained by its support range setting in another group, even when it was disabled from support. This is now fixed so that the ART active range for a group is only constrained by activated ART support settings in other groups.

• Fixed some cases where Dirac Live could crash or freeze (APP-602, APP-661, DS-2034)

Known issues

• The 120 Hz low-pass filter introduced in version 3.13.2 applied to the LFE channel introduces a delay of about 5 milliseconds compared to the other channels.

• At first launch after first installation on macOS, Dirac Live will not detect devices on the network. Press the Rescan button to detect them.

• Progress tracker can sometimes jump backwards. (LIVE-4356)

• New filter exports are not displayed correctly in the application on some NAD devices. The filter can still be used and will be displayed correctly after reconnecting to the device (APP-555)
