What's New in ART Coach
1.0.5
August 22, 2026
One House Curve for your whole system, or one bass-only target when you want to keep your speakers' character. - ART Coach House Curve exports one universal full-range curve. Apply that same file to L/R, Center, surrounds, heights, and the Primary LFE group when present; each group follows only the range inside its measured correction curtains. - Choose one of four purpose-built profiles: Movie Reference Level, Movie Everyday Volume, Music Reference Level, or Music Everyday Volume. - Intent, Emphasis, Curve Shape, and Pro Bass Shaping refine the bass region without creating different curves by speaker role. Sound Strategy remains separate and controls how ART groups cooperate. - Keep Speaker Voicing preserves your established full-range speaker targets and exports one bass-only curve through 160 Hz for the Primary LFE group or identified bass destination. - New configurations start with House Curve and Everyday Volume. Configurations saved before v1.0.5 retain their bass-only behavior until you intentionally change the target approach. - Screen 6 now presents the approach, profile, control points, and application guidance in one clear vertical flow. Screen 7 exports one directly importable target-curve file for the selected approach. - Systems without subwoofers now receive explicit guidance for the actual main-speaker bass destination and its measured usable range. - Individual grouping now preserves each speaker's calculation role, so front, center, surround, and height speakers keep the intended support policy when split into separate groups. - Cross-subwoofer support stays within each target group's usable range. When you load a saved configuration, ART Coach now rebuilds group assignments, Fsiso, and support recommendations from the saved inputs instead of relying on cached calculated values. - Onboarding, the Guide, setup sheets, and technical references now explain both approaches, Movie and Music voicing, correction curtains, and the simplified export workflow. PDF pagination and long-name wrapping are also improved.
