Vogone™ Version Changes

Vogone Easy 3.201 Released February 14,2008

Easy is a brand new product. It is based on the Vogone technology, but is less expensive and easier to use with less controls to adjust. It only vocal removes/reduces center-panned songs.

V3.201 Released October 12, 2007

1. Added Browse Button "CD Audio Tracks" Selection - To make it clear that you can import a track from an Audio CD. When selected, it locates the lowest CD/DVDROM drive letter, reads the TOC of the disc in it, and displays the tracks. If you don't put the disc in before selecting this, you can right click and select Refresh to see the track list.
2. Added Open WMA+G and WAV+G and Their ZIPs - The Karaoke Files selection now opens WMA+G and WAV+G, and ZIP files containing these. the "+G" file is preserved with the audio file.
3. Set The Save As... Name To The Open Filename - This helps save to the same name or modify it, and insures the same file type extension is used for saving. You can overwrite the original master file if you wish, even .wav files.
4. Default Hold-My-Hand Enabled - Vogone now ships with Hold-My-Hand enabled. Thus, only the HMH instructions appear until you click the Next > button. There are now two buttons in the HMH section to launch Vogone or Undo Mux to remove the vocals from Multiplexed karaoke songs.
5. Added Hold-My-Hand For Undo Mux - We added a Undo Mux button beside the Vogone button. Clicking it changes the HMH steps to guide using the Undo Multiplex function.
6. Added Tools Menu "Bypass Hold-My-Hand Steps" Command - This allows those who no longer need to use HMH to override it so it is not automatically run when Vogone launches. It can still be manually executed as before.
7. Check for the correct version of lame_enc.dll - We now poll the dll for all the function calls used in Vogone. If the Lame_enc.dll is not found, or any functions return "0", a message appears with a link to get this dll and instructions where to save it. If this is done, when the message OK button is clicked, the dll is verified to contain all the required components and if so, MP3, MP3+G and ZIP files can be opened.
8. Save ZIP Files With Same Audio Format - The original ZIP file audio content (MP3, WMA, WAV) is used for the output format. If the Lame_enc.dll is not found, when a ZIP file is opened that contains MP3 audio, a message appears with a link to get this file and instructions where to save it. If this is done, when the message OK button is clicked, the dll is verified to contain all the required components and if so, the MP3+G ZIP file is opened. If the dll fails or is missing, the ZIP file is not opened. ZIPPED WMA+G and WAV+G always open.
9. Tools Menu "Burn Audio CD - Microstudio" command - Vogone tries to launch Microstudio if it installed, but isn't running. If it isn't installed, a message appears with a link to buy it. Microstudio, allows burning Audio CD's AND Karaoke CDG discs, and imports CDG disc tracks with the lyrics.
10. Changed File Error Message - When opening a file with any sample rate other than 44.1KS/s, it now shows the sample rate and a message that Vogone only opens 44.1KS/s stereo files. NOTE: MTU's Songverter can convert any sample rate below 96KS/s to 44.1KS/s rate for use in Vogone.
11. Changed Set Loop Duration Command - You can now select up to 99 seconds for loop playing.
12. Changed Installation Program
    
    
    1. Installing Registers at MTU.com. This updates the security database for your computer with any changes since the last time you installed. Microstudio is them more likely to run when changes are made to your computer.
    2. Always Upgrades An Existing Installation. This means that, for example, even when you go from a 3.x to a 4.x, you can do so by upgrading. Prior versions required removing then re-installing, which confused some users. You can still do this if you wish.
    3. Requires Entering a Computer Name. This helps you to identify which computer you need help installing software on. The Computer Name automatically fills in when you install any other MTU software.
    4. Cannot Install by USB Memory Stick - Your computer must be on-line to the Internet to install, and update your Windows. If you don't update your Windows, when you install Vogone it may not work correctly.

V3.200 Released August 31, 2007

1. Added Open Audio WAV, WMA, MP3 and Karaoke BIN, KMA, ZIP, MP3+G Files - Vogone now directly opens these file formats. Vogone Lite only opens WAV, WMA and MP3 files. To open and create MP3, MP3+G and ZIP files requires the Lame_enc.dll module.
2. Added Output Same File Format - When an open file is saved to the hard drive with the vocals removed, it is in the same file format that is open.
3. Added Import Audio CD Disc Tracks - The Browse... button now allows selecting an installed CD/DVD ROM drive to import a track from a Audio CD disc to vocal remove. Imported songs save as WAV format files on the hard drive. Karaoke CDG disc tracks import without lyrics, or use Microstudio to import a BIN file with lyrics.
4. Added Output Format List - This list allows selecting 1 of 3 file types; True Stereo, For Karaoke or Make Multiplex.
5. Added Manual to Menu Bar - Too many users did not find the Vogone Manual command in the Help menu. Thus, we added a Manual command to the top Menu Bar.
6. Added Undo Multiplex Function - Open a multiplexed Karaoke song, hear which track the vocal+music is on and replace it with the music only track. The saved file is then like a For Karaoke file.
7. Added Audio and Karaoke File Type Indicator - Since Vogone can now process karaoke and audio file formats, you need to know what file type is open. This indicator is in the Play group.

V3.106 - June 29, 2007

1. Hold My Hand™ Step-By-Step - Major changes were made.
   
   
   1. Always visible in Left Column - The Vogone screen is now wider, with a left column showing the Hold My Hand text and Back and Next buttons at the top.
   2. Text Updated - The step by step instructions were rewritten to be clearer.
   3. Auto-Select Buttons & Sliders - When in Hold My Hand, clicking the Next button auto-selects buttons and sliders for the next step, ready to adjust without having to click them.
2. Display Hold My Hand Text in Normal Use - If you choose to see all the controls by not clicking the Hold My Hand button, when you click a control (button, slider, etc.) in the screen the related Hold My Hand text appears in the left panel.
3. Set and Adjust Loop Area - Setting a Loop Area is not required, but enables you to work faster. To set an optional Loop Area, with the Play Original button pressed (shows STOP), tap the Spacebar key when you hear vocals. While playing over this area, use the Left and Right arrow keys to shift its location. Clicking the Play Original button off and back on clears the Loop Area.
4. New Tools Menu Set Loop Duration Command - You can preset your loop area to be from 3 to 9 seconds long. When you insert a loop area with the Spacebar, it will be the length set in this command, and cannot be extended or shortened.
5. Removed Loop Play Check Box - This is no longer needed. If you set a Loop Area, then it plays over and over. If you don't set it, play goes to the song end and then loops back to the start.
6. Removed Begin and End Sliders - The purpose of these sliders was to define a Loop Area. However, it was complex and took too long, relative to the other adjustments. Using the Spacebar to set the Loop Area is much easier, thus we removed these sliders.
7. Reset Low & High Sliders - Opening a new song set the Low slider to the far right, and High slider to the far left. This starts the adjustments hearing the most vocals.

V3.105 - June 04, 2007

1. Added processing MP3 and WMA files - Now opens and vocal removes MP3, WMA and WAV audio files. This includes MP3+G and WMA+G files.
2. Changed Balance Control Title to Stage Location - Many users don't understand Pan or Balance, but they do understand if the singer is center-stage, or off-center stage. Thus, we changed the control title.

V3.104 - May 15, 2007

1. Added "Hold My Hand"™ - This new function walks you through the correct steps in sequence to do the best vocal reduction possible. Each step displays a dialog with text explaining how to adjust the controls in this step for maximum removal and quality.
   
   
   1. Hold My Hand Mode - Low slider set to full Right position - By doing this, and automatically executing Play Low, you hear more music + vocal to remove. Instructions are to adjust "to the left" to find the sweet spot where the vocals disappear but some music that would be removed is kept.
   2. Hold My Hand Mode - High slider set to full Left position - By doing this, and automatically executing Play High, you hear more music + vocal to remove. Instructions are to adjust "to the right" to find the sweet spot where the vocals disappear but some music that would be removed is kept.
   3. Hold My Hand Mode - Show High &Low Red Sweet-Spot Pointers - Red down pointing arrows now appear at the Low Blue/Yellow and High Yellow/Blue transitions showing the "sweet spots" you found earlier. These don't change as you adjust the sliders so you can play around them while listening to all adjustments to see what sounds better or worse. The goal is to get as much "blue area" as you can to keep more music with acceptable removed vocals.
   4. Hold My Hand Mode - Vogone Lite has separate messages - Since there are no Low, High or Balance in Vogone Lite, the HMH messages are different.
2. Screen Layout Changes - The screen is larger and moved the Low and High play buttons and sliders, along with the Blue-Yellow-Blue music-vocal-music indicator to make it easier to use.
3. Added Numeric Fields by Sliders - Location, Begin, End, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Stage Location and Output Level now have a field that shows the actual numerical value of that slider's position, changing as you adjust.
4. Removed Advanced Button - The full display is now always visible. The Hold My Hand™ button makes it easier. The Lite version still uses the 1, 2 and 3 Preset buttons to change the sliders, while the Output Level can still be adjusted in Lite.

V3.103 - March 08, 2007

1. Upgraded to Run with Windows Vista - We needed to upgrade the Installation program to run with Vista. All is reported working fine.

V3.102 - November 08, 2006

1. Created Vogone Lite Version - This is a lower cost version that has three fixed settings that set the controls in the Advanced section, but do not allow adjusting. Vogone Full allows adjusting all controls for the maximum vocal removal for every song.
2. Added 1, 2, and 3 Buttons - These three buttons are preset to give excellent vocal reduction of many songs without adjusting anything. When clicked, they change the Low, High, Bass Boost, Treble Boost and Output Level controls. In Vogone Lite, only the Output Level can be adjusted.
3. Output Level Slider is Available in Vogone Lite - There is too much risk in doing Bass or Treble boost that it would clip the output. Thus, you can adjust this control (Hot keys work also).
4. Tool Menu Adjust Original Song Level - This command is defaulted on in Vogone and Vogone Lite.
5. Auto Shift From Play Original to Play Vogone - If Play Original is clicked, and then button 1, 2 or 3 is clicked, Play Vogone is automatically selected to prevent confusion.

V3.101 - September 20, 2006

1. FIXED Bug Handling WAV Files - If there was unexpected information in the .wav file header, Vogone 3.100 would reject the files. This is now fixed.

V3.100 - August 31, 2006

1. New Default/Advanced Screen - Vogone now has a default mode that can make vocal reduced versions of many songs without any adjustments at all. Clicking the Advanced button displays the controls to adjust the best sound possible.
2. New Low and High Slider Scales- Both sliders now move in Log (was Linear) increments to more closely follow how human hearing and musical note scales work.
3. New High Filter - The new filter is much, much cleaner than before. This makes an incredible difference in the quality of the vocal reduced song.
4. Added Bass and Treble Boost Controls - The remaining Low and High music frequencies not being removed with the vocals can now be boosted to make them sound better.
5. Added Vocal Reduction Area Meters - As you adjust the Low and High sliders, the blue-yellow-blue meter changes to show the vocal reduction area in yellow.
6. Added Hot Keys - Critical operations now have hot key operations for triggering by keyboard, not just mouse operations.
7. Return to Center Buttons - Both the Output Level and Pan controls have a button that returns the sliders to exact center when clicked or by opening a new song.
