What's New in ART Coach
1.0.8
October 5, 2026
• Wizard is now called Planner to better reflect how you build and refine your calibration plan. The same seven-step setup flow remains. • Added Listening Geometry, a notebook for room dimensions, seating positions, speaker distances and notes. • Added the option to include your room notebook in Technical Reference reports. • Enter exact speaker frequency values and mark specifications as reviewed. • Cleaner layouts and easier-to-read controls, including improvements for larger text. • Updated the in-app Guide with clearer instructions. • Fixed microphone calibration in Room Noise Check for more accurate band levels, especially at low and high frequencies. • Improved recovery options for saved plans that cannot be opened. • Preserve speaker settings when changing your layout, with confirmation before removing speakers. • Fix Music emphasis changing after reopening a plan and protect the current plan while browsing saved configurations. • Seven clearer Movie and Music presets, plus Custom. Older preset selections move to the closest retained option with an explanation; your Curve Shape and Pro adjustments are kept. • Saved Natural emphasis remains active as Natural (legacy), including when switching Music presets. It is hidden from new choices. • Preset cards show the bass contribution and calculated Fsiso range for your system. Emphasis labels now describe their bass and support adjustments. • Saved plans are recalculated with the updated planning engine. Some F-support Low values increase, some support relationships disappear, and Bass Profile numbers change (Theater Reference: +1.0 to +4.8 dB). If you entered 1.0.7 values in Dirac, reopen your plan and re-check its settings in Dirac. • Align bass summaries with exported curves, repair preset curve dips, and preserve group names across grouping changes. • For Keep Speaker Voicing without subs, enter bass points manually in Dirac; importing a bass-only file can replace the upper target. • Fsiso and Support Level remain optional ART Coach planning suggestions. Compare them with Dirac defaults and your measured results.
