This week's fixes: sound, queue and payment reliability
A week without flashy features, but with fixes you can actually feel. Being straight with you: these are not new buttons — these are places where the service was letting you down.
🔊 The "No limiter" preset no longer squashes your track
It did the exact opposite of what it promised: you ended up with less dynamics than after regular mastering. The dynamics restorer sat twice as far as the point where its effect already saturates — beyond that point only side effects kept growing.
The setting is back in its working range. In measurements, crest factor rose from 7.1 to 9.4 on a tonal signal and from 12.1 to 14.6 on a beat. In plain words: transients breathe again.
⏳ Batch processing shows the queue instead of "0%"
When you upload more files than there are free slots, the extras wait. The batch list used to show a frozen "0%" for those — indistinguishable from a hang. One of you refreshed the page 260 times before giving up; every file had actually been processed.
Now a queued row says it plainly: "⏳ In queue: 3 · ~4 min", with the number of jobs ahead in the tooltip. Waiting no longer looks like breakage.
🎚 Loudness defect under heavy load is gone
At peak hours work is spread across several machines. On the extra nodes some processing settings were not applied, and a master could come out quieter than the target. Settings now travel with the job — the result is the same no matter which machine picks up your track.
⭐ Telegram Stars: payments can no longer vanish silently
There was a rare path where Telegram had already charged the stars while the service finished handling the payment without a single log record. Refunding or crediting by hand was next to impossible. Any such case is now logged and flagged immediately — with the charge id and the amount.
🌍 The English section is reachable now
The language switcher was a button that only worked inside the browser: search engines simply could not find the English pages. It is a normal link now, and the English section is open to people and to search alike.
If you ran into any of this — thank you for putting up with it. Almost everything on this list came from your complaints and from digging through logs, not from our imagination.
