VoceVista Video 5.6.0

New Features

This release focuses mainly on stability, performance, and usability. The most significant new feature is the possibility to set an upper frequency limit on the pitch detection, which makes the pitch detection much more useful for working with speech. Also, there are new presets for the Analyzer Settings to toggle between working with singing, speech, and instruments.
Another important new feature is crash recovery. This will restore all unsaved recordings after a power failure, system crash, or other unplanned program exit.
On Windows, the default audio driver is now WASAPI, which offers much smoother scrolling during recording than DirectSound.
