Rational Acoustics has announced the first major version update for Smaart v9 that expands on the foundation of the recently released measurement platform in providing significant new features, useability improvements, and bug fixes.
The update introduces Rational Acoustics partnership with Audient, integrating the controls for the phantom power and gain of the EVO line of audio interfaces directly into the Smaart interface to provide a more streamlined workflow and Gain Tracking for EVO users. The EVO control integration is available for all editions of Smaart v9.
Also debuting with v9.1 is the new SyncSource Transfer Function measurement process that can be enabled via Advanced Preferences. Available in Smaart Suite and RT only, SyncSource TF is a period-synchronous method of real time transfer function measurement where the output cycle of Smaart’s signal generator is the same length as the FFT size of the measurement. SyncSource TF measurements provide the benefit of very stable real time data, even in challenging environments.
A new signal generator option to gradually increase output level, utilizing a 1.5 second exponential fade-in, is designed to provide for a less startling experience in the field and enhanced averaging depth selections for real time measurements provide a smoother increase in measurement stability (as a variable from 1 to 10). A default Peak sound level metric for Smaart RT & LE has also been adde, as well as measurement configuration access from the Impulse Response control bar and enhanced unified data capture.
The Smaart v9.1 update is recommended for all Smaart v9 users and is available at no additional cost. The update can be downloaded directly from within the Smaart v9 program or from within user license management accounts at my.rationalacoustics.com.
Not all new features are available in all editions of Smaart v9. A complete, edition-specific list of new features and bug fixes in the 9.1 update can be found in the Smaart v9.1 Release Overview or in Smaart v9.1’s internal help file after updating.
