Some news

The news are:

1. About SlickEQ GE and WYSIWYG curve and frequency analyzer
2. About SlickEQ and new “Funky” output saturation mode
3. About Limiter6 and the skin
4. About oversampled EQs

Now let’s go into the details.

Limiter No6 update 1.0.2b and ENV1 skin

Nova67-P Mac version maintenance update (v1.0.1)

List of bugs fixed:

• bug that prevents usage of the plugin on mono tracks in Logic
• bug with occasional hang on preset change in AU 64-bit version
• possible crash for AU version

Also please note that hot-keys in Mac version operate a bit differently than in Windows one:

• use Command + Click instead of Ctrl + Click to reset parameter to default value
• use Ctrl + Click to open filter’s context menu if you have a single-button mouse

BUG REPORT BUG REPORT

Both Mac versions of Nova (VST & AU) hang if 88.2 or 96 kHz sample rate used in the project. I didn’t check 88.2/96 on Mac before… Okay, I’m going to fix it!

Nice video about DIY mastering

the video is pretty long 🙂

Featuring:

• SlickEQ “German” high-shelf boost at 24:11
• Molot “invisible” compression at 28:10
• Limiter No6  limiting/clipping at 33:13

Enjoy!

Okay, it’s time for further research and development. There’re pending little fixes for Limiter6 and Molot. And I have a dozen of new projects in my head! Please, be patient ’cause I didn’t stop my research work. 🙂

Hmm, not bad Limiter No6 description video

(features also TLS Pocket Limiter)

 

Molot 0.3.1 and Limiter №6 1.0.2 with AU support were released

What’s new in Molot 0.3.1:

• Output and editing of numeric parameter values. (Editing not implemented in 32-bit AU version)
• Fixed wrong mode in some presets.
• Fixed filter used in linear phase oversampling mode.
• Added “dithering off” option.
• Fixed working with VstToRTAS.
• Added AU version.
• Added support for 10 times attack time scaling.
• Changed limiter code (based on Limiter No6)

What’s new in Limiter №6 1.0.2:

• Less intensive animation (to save CPU cycles);
• Stereo-linked mode in peak-limiter was significantly improved;
• Numeric parameter values now editable (excluding 32-bit AU version);
• Modes I-III of peak limiter were slightly changed;
• AU version added

[download]

AU version release notes:

• To refresh DAW latency compensation when plugin latency is changed, audio must be restarted (stop/start);
• Limiter №6 changes its latency in “Min.latency” mode;
• Molot changes its latency when switched between “HQ” and “Fast” oversampling modes.

 

Limiter №6 v1.0.2 Windows/Mac (VST/AU) latest preview

So finally, what’s new in version 1.0.2?

• New stereo-linking in peak limiter significantly reduced distortions;
• Numeric parameter values now editable;
• Less intensive animations to reduce CPU usage;
• Subtle changes in peak limiter Type I-III modes.

Windows version (32/64-bit, both GUI included):

Mac versions (32/64-bit, VST/AU):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18475891/Limiter6-v102-gui2.dmg

AU version release notes:

• in “Min. latency” mode to refresh host latency compensation you must stop then start playback;
• if you manually enter numeric parameter value, you should click somewhere on plugin background instead of pressing “enter” key.

PS. I want to give more tests for this version, then release it!
