I don't think I've posted a beta version here before but let's see how it goes.
Here is SpecWeb 2.3 Beta 1
Major Changes from 2.2 Public Release:
Fix for faint "tick" sound (like dust on vinyl) during up/down sample
Improved transient smearing artifact reduction ("swishy" drums/cymbals) via new -y flag
From the SpecWeb.ini file:
;Starting with SpecWeb 2.3, arctan processes any "transient" sounds via the slice (-M0) method, to eliminate artifacts
;such as "swishy" drums/cymbals, etc.
;The threshold to determine what is transient is set with the below transientthreshold value.
;This is the slope of the sound change in volume at a given frequency and instant in time, so smaller values
;will cause more of the sound to be treated as transient (fewer artifacts) and a larger value will cause less of the sound to be treated as transient (more separation). The default value is 0.04
A goal of this Beta is to gather end user feedback on the default setting for Transient Threshold.
Beta?
Beta version means:
Changes may not be fully documented
May run a little slower (while I work on speed vs. stability)
No other bug fixes from the previous version (yet)

For older computers (pre AVX instructions) Updated 1-15-2021:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bqTd-ZcNVJtKSqkGrJBggo8S8r73RlfZ/view?usp=sharing
So, in return for early access to the new features, I'd like feedback from you on how this sounds, relative to 2.2, and what value for -y should be the default (if not 0.04 which is the default in this version).
FYI you can multiple versions of SpecWeb on your computer at the same time.
