What's New

• Made minor codebase optimizations.
• Fixed GUI issues with custom color schemes that use color transparency.

• Made minor codebase optimizations.
• Improved GUI resizing performance.

• Added a new "Dome" FFT window which features a better frequency resolution than "Hann". Suitable for smaller FFT block sizes. This is now a default window.
• Re-designed plug-in's and spectrum mode presets.
• Further fix to HiDPI VST3 GUI resizing issue in Cubase, on Windows.

• Made minor codebase optimizations.

• Fixed memory overload issue in ProTools.
• Reduced GUI refresh jitter.

• Fixed a GUI issue that could affect host's transport on Intel Macs.
• Fixed occasional GUI flickering on macOS (due to usage of Device RGB color-space, now it is sRGB).
• Improved audio-UI interoperability, to reduce a chance of audio stutter happening when UI is active.

• Fixed popup windows' movement issue.

• Reduced visual tearing on Windows.
• Increased averaged spectrum calculation performance thus reducing time it takes to update the GUI.
• Improved spectrum averaging precision for >1/3oct.
• Changed FFT analyzer's minimal averaging time to 5ms (down from 50ms).
• Added a small delay to the "Max Crest Factor" estimation, to reduce over-reaction to transients at playback start.
• Fixed a system DPI scaling-related VST3 GUI resizing issue in Cubase, on Windows.

• Changed spectrum's "Freq Lo" maximum to 500 Hz (down from 1000 Hz), and "Freq Hi" minimum to 600 (down from 2000 Hz), to permit finer low- and mid-frequency range selections.
• Added the "Spectrum, meter border" palette modifier. Updated palettes.
• Made a small speed-up of GUI loading and drawing.
• Fixed an issue with popup-menus not functioning in Logic Pro on Apple M1 native.
• Implemented "Portable Setups" support (portable settings), read more in the Primary User Guide.

• Improved overall graphics drawing performance (again).

• Added the "Large Cursor Readouts" plug-in setting which enables larger mouse position readouts, useful when the plug-in is placed on a distant dedicated monitor.
• Fixed a drawing bug with the "Flat Panels" global switch disabled.
• Improved overall graphics drawing performance.
• Improved anti-aliased line rendering of the secondary spectrum.
• Improved knob's renderings.
• By frequent user request, the "Solo" switch's state is now saved together with the preset (a part of the routing parameters). While this opens up a possibility of leaving the "Solo" switch enabled and forgotten, this provides more flexibility, e.g. when mid/side processing is used.

• Added the "Panel border" palette modifier.
• Updated all palettes, to reduce "border" contrast. An existing palette may need to be reloaded for the change to be visible.
• Modified spectrum window's sliders to look less contrasted.

• Added Apple Silicon native compatibility.
• Added 1/48 octave spectrum smoothing option.
• Improved spectrum smoothing precision.
• Enabled the "asynchronous drawing" window mode on macOS; may fix the user interface "lagging".
• The "Copy to" button is now called the "Copy": this button now copies parameters FROM the selected group, NOT TO the selected group. This should improve the workflow.
• Improved font rendering slightly.

• Internal channel letters were changed to numbers.
• Level meters can now display input channel names instead of internal channel indices.
• Added "Stereo Swap" and "Stereo To Mono" routing presets.
• Added AudioComponents interface to AudioUnit as the ".rsrc" interface may be deprecated in the future.

• Improved readability of the condensed font.

• Added the preset list sorting function to the preset manager.
• Redesigned the knob image.
• Extended the "Color Editor" with color modifiers.
• Added the "Gray Blue" and "Navy" color schemes.
• Implemented "anti-aliased" line drawing optimization.
• Fixed a bug where the "Hold" switch was not holding statistics.

• Added the "True Peak/Sample Peak" switch.

• Maintenance release (macOS Catalina compatibility).

• Fixed a minor frequency drift on deep zoom-in.
• Added the "Align 0 dB" spectrum display mode.
• Fixed a minor spectrum power shift in non-Hann window modes.

• Improved responsiveness during window resizing.
• Improved visual quality at different visual interface scales.
• Windows: implemented (switchable) higher-precision user interface update timer, for smoother display.
• Added "Blackman" and "Hi-Res" spectrum window types.

• Added 1/24 octave spectrum smoothing option.
• Fixed K-weighting filter issue at lower frequencies.

• Implemented EBU-R128 "LUFS" and "LU" metering modes.
• Implemented "True Peak" peak level and clippings detection.

• Fixed issue with "Spectrum Offset" display modes.
• Fixed display "notching" of high-resolution spectrum.
• Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows.
• Added "anti-aliasing" spectrum display mode.

• Fixed solo band-sweeping function issue.
• Added 175% visual scale.

• Added "RT Sigma" analyzer type.
• Added "Spectrum Offset" display modes.
• Made bottom group selector switchable.
• Fixed "zoom in" function's issue.

• Added "Cyan" color scheme.
• Fixed "Bypass" switch in VST3 in Cubase.
• Made the user interface scale switchable without host reload.
• Added 90%, 110% and 150% visual scales.
• Added ProTools 12+ AAX64 support.

• Implemented color scheme editor with load and save functions.
• Added "Brown" and "White" color schemes.
• Redesigned the infrastructure controls.
• Made internal channel names start at "C" to reduce confusion with the A/B comparison buttons.
• Reduced plugin file size considerably for faster loading.
• Reduced the overall memory consumption.

• Fixed non-working mid-side channel solo.

• Increased "smoothed" graph drawing precision.
• Fixed crash when 1/12 octave smoothing is enabled.
• Increased overall spectrum drawing precision.

• Right-clicking on the spectrum will copy the frequency pointer to the clipboard.
• "dBFS.30" and "dBFS.15" metering options added.
• 1/9 and 1/12 octave smoothing options added.
• 65536 block size option added.
