Release notes
Videorc 0.9.30 Beta 1
The Studio now shows your microphone as a live multi-band visualizer — in the mixer, when picking a mic, and right next to the session status while you record or stream — so "is my mic on?" is answered at a glance.
See your mic working — live audio meters across the Studio
- The audio mixer replaces its thin meter line with a live multi-band visualizer you can read from across the room.
- Picking a microphone now shows a live waveform preview of that device, so you never go live on the wrong mic.
- While recording or streaming, a small live signal indicator pulses next to the session status.
- A clip warning lights up when your input runs hot enough to distort.
- The sticked-in preview now sits flush in the Studio — no more border and panel around it.
A microphone you can see
The number one live anxiety is "is my mic actually working?" — and a 2-pixel meter line doesn't answer it from a streaming distance. The audio mixer now renders your microphone as a live multi-band visualizer: chrome bars dancing with your voice, flat and dim when muted, with the peak level readout kept right beside it. If the input runs hot enough to distort, a clip warning lights up and holds long enough to notice.
When the live meter can't run — no permission yet, or the device is held by another app — the mixer says so and falls back to the coarse level check, never a fake animation.
Pick the right mic, every time
The microphone pickers (Quick Settings and Sources) now show a live scrolling waveform of the selected device. Speak, see it move, and you know you picked the right input before you start — no more discovering the wrong mic after the recording.
Confidence while you're live
During a recording or stream, a small live signal sliver sits next to the session status. A glance confirms audio is flowing; if you mute, it goes flat so the state is never ambiguous.
A cleaner sticked-in preview
When you stick the preview into the app, it now stands alone — the border and panel around it are gone, and the video's own frame runs edge to edge.
Windows tester builds
Recordings on Windows keep their true wall-clock length and A/V alignment even when the encoder is under pressure, 1080p capture no longer gets throttled by an internal retry delay, and the proof preview stays live while you record. Hardware encoding is now probed honestly, so the recorder picks an encoder that actually works on your machine.
