Release notes

ART Coach release notes.

What changed in each version, as published on the App Store. ART Coach updates through the App Store on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Version 1.0.8

Current version

The Wizard is now the Planner, with a Listening Geometry notebook, exact speaker frequency entry, and seven clearer listening presets.

Wizard is now the Planner.

The name better reflects how you build and refine a calibration plan. The same seven-step setup flow remains.

Keep room notes with your plan.

Listening Geometry is a notebook for room dimensions, seating positions, speaker distances, and notes. You can include it in Technical Reference reports. It is a reference and does not change recommendations.

Seven clearer presets, plus Custom.

Preset cards show the bass contribution and the calculated Fsiso range for your system. Older preset selections move to the closest retained option, with an explanation.

Exact values and clearer layouts.

Enter exact speaker frequency values and mark specifications as reviewed. Controls are easier to read, including at larger text sizes.

Complete release notes

  • 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.

Version 1.0.7

Clearer setup choices and more dependable calibration preparation.

Release notes

  • Refined wizard typography, aligned radio choices, independent details and readable supporter tables.
  • Custom intent stays a draft until Apply. Cancel and dismissal preserve your settings.
  • Fixes microphone capture crashes in Room Noise Check and Background Noise Monitor, including the built-in microphone path.
  • Larger-text layouts give Guide topics, diagrams and system guidance more room to grow and wrap.
  • More reliable Guide scrolling, clearer measurement-height instructions and consistent listening-validation guidance.
  • Improved Release startup and clearer selected, expanded and progress states.
  • Corrected support eligibility includes previously omitted subwoofer paths. Emphasis reflects the final support plan.
  • More complete technical exports, consistent numerical formatting, long-name wrapping and clearer infra-bypass guidance.

Target-curve profiles and numerical Support Level policies are unchanged. Review current entry values when reopening a setup: eligibility and emphasis corrections can change the support plan.
