Added “Normalize” function and dithering options.
Also new to AudioGate is a “Normalize” function, which automatically exports your data at the loudest level possible without clipping. Two dithering options are available to enhance the export quality: ordinary “TPDF dithering” and Korg’s newly designed noise shaped dithering, “KORG AQUA,” that closely matches the characteristics of actual human hearing.

Repeat and shuffle playback options have been added to AudioGate. “Direct song select” functionality has also been added, which enables you to select a song to play back numerically from the computer keyboard.
Enhanced songlist function.
