  1. Voxengo has released SPAN Plus version 1.6 - an extended real-time "fast Fourier transform" audio spectrum analyzer plug-in for professional music and audio production applications.

    https://www.kvraudio.com/product/span-plus-by-voxengo

    SPAN Plus is an extended version of the freeware SPAN plug-in: SPAN Plus provides several additional features such as PNG file export, real-time spectrum import/export and static spectrums display.

    Version 1.6 includes the following changes:

    • Implemented EBU-R128 "LUFS" and "LU" metering modes.
    • Implemented "True Peak" peak level and clippings detection.
    • Added 1/24 octave spectrum smoothing option.
    • Added AIFF sound file support to Static spectrum load function.
    • Increased resolution of saved static spectrum files.
    • Added "Blackman" and "Hi-Res" spectrum window types.

    This version improved smoothness of real-time graphics draws on Windows systems, now graphics is drawn with a lot better timing precision and less stuttering. This, however, may increase CPU load in comparison to the previous version: if this is unacceptable to you, simply decrease the "Frames Per Second" global Voxengo plugin setting.

    SPAN Plus is designed to provides a very flexible "mode" system which you can use to setup your spectrum analyzer preferences. You may specify Fourier block size in samples, FFT window overlap percentage, spectrum's visual slope. Beside that you can choose to display secondary spectrum of a desired type (e.g. real-time maximum, all-time maximum). Spectrum can be smoothed out visually for an easier examination.

    SPAN Plus supports multi-channel analysis and can be set to display spectrums from two different channels or channel groups at the same time. Spectrum's color can be chosen to taste.

    SPAN Plus also features output level metering with adjustable ballistics and integration time, K-metering (including calibration K-metering). SPAN Plus displays level metering statistics, headroom estimation and clipping detection. Correlation metering is available as well.

    SPAN Plus features:

    • Real-time spectrum import/export.
    • PNG file export.
    • Static spectrums display.
    • Output signal power statistics.
    • Spectrum smoothing.
    • User interface window resizing.
    • True peak and clipping statistics.
    • Correlation meter.
    • EBU R128 LUFS/LU metering.
    • K-metering.
    • Stereo and multi-channel analysis.
    • Mid/side analysis.
    • Internal channel routing.
    • Channel grouping.
    • Preset manager.
    • Undo/redo history.
    • A/B comparisons.
    • Contextual hint messages.
    • All sample rates support.
    • Retina and HighDPI support.

    Price: $49.95.

    10$ difference with upgrade price. Pretty lame for Spaces 1 users...

    Major Lame.

    If they were paying any attention at all could a pricing screw up like t hat happen?

    Don't think they really care.

    It's like with Play6, that should have been a free upgrade from day 1.  Someone in marketing is more interested in milking the Benjamins than happy customers.

  4. Blue Cat Audio Launches Analysis Month Promotions - special offers on
    FreqAnalyst Multi, Oscilloscope Multi, and StereoScope Multi
    and all its analysis and metering plug-ins.

Thanks to this new design, the spectrum analysis precision setting can now be pushed up to 11, with twice more frequencies to display. Presets management has also been improved, so that recalling your favorite analysis configurations is much faster. The update contains many other improvements and a few bug fixes (full list below).

    What's New for All Three Plug-Ins:

    • Refreshed GUI design, with improved usability and touchscreen support.
    • The GUI can now be zoomed from 70% to 200%.

    • Mac: fixed minor compatibility issues with Mac OS High Sierra and Mojave.
    • Dropped support for Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier.

    • Fully compatible with previous versions of the plug-in (except for VST3 on Mac, as explained here: bluecataudio.com/Blog/tip-of-the-day/vst3-plugin-id-changes-on-mac).

    What's New in FreqAnalyst Multi 2.3:

    • Spectrum analysis is now performed in the background and does not affect audio performance.
    • Precision now goes up to 11.

    What's New for StereoScope Multi 2.3:

    Soundtoys Little AlterBoy

    Soundtoys exciting new tool for dramatic voice alteration: Little AlterBoy: Featuring pitch and formant shifting, the overly popular pitch-quantizing hard tune effect, pitch locked robot voice and even MIDI pitch control for vocoder like effects. We’ve also included one of our classic tube saturation models from Decapitator to add warmth or edge to your new vocal creation. So go “get altered” now with Little AlterBoy!

    Vocal Creations and Manipulations

    Twisting vocals in new ways has become like a quest in popular and electronic music. Producers and artists are always looking for new and musical ways to stand out with a vocal. Little AlterBoy gives you some of the most popular manipulation tools all in one spot. Changing pitch, gender, or age combined with hard tuning.

    Control Your Creation

    Once you've crafted your perfect vocal effect signature, then you can use MIDI in your DAW to control the pitch for dramatic vocoder or harmony type effects. It's a hugely powerful way to find new directions and drive new ideas.

    History in the Re-Making

    Our roots are in pitch-shifting. From our founders original work creating the Eventide H3000, to the early days of Soundtoys (called WaveMechanics then) creating the first real-time pitch and formant shifter PurePitch TDM. Not to mention our pitch-correction plug-in PitchDoctor TDM and the amazing multi-fx SoundBlender TDM, both acclaimed for sound quality and usability. OK, so we decided to take all that and make a creative vocal tool that built in a wide palette of the most used vocal processes of the day.

  9. Still one of my favorite video games...

    Description:

    Now with Hellfire!

    Originally developed by Synergistic Software and released in 1997, Hellfire was not an official Blizzard product and did not carry Blizzard’s endorsement or label. Despite that, in response to Diablo players who have expressed a desire to experience the content, Blizzard has given the OK for it to be included as a free add-on with Diablo purchases on GOG.COM.

    Hellfire offers a non-canonical single-player storyline where players must defeat a powerful demon named Na-Krul who is threatening Tristram. The expansion also adds a Monk class, new weapons and items, new missions, locations, dungeons, and enemies. Hellfire will be accessible while launching the original Diablo.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Traveler, stay awhile and listen...

    Darkness stirs beneath Tristram. An ancient evil sweeps across the land, plunging it into civil war and terrorizing the populace. A mad king, his missing son, and a mysterious archbishop are all pieces of the puzzle you need to hack through. You have journeyed to the source of this evil. The town of Tristram - now inhabited only by a handful of survivors, broken and twisted by the madness that has befallen them. A cathedral stands there, built over the ruins of an ancient monastery. Eerie lights and ungodly sounds are heard echoing through its abandoned halls, and that is where you shall venture.

    Embark, if you dare, on a quest to destroy The Prime Evil…
     

    • Experience the legendary action/RPG that influenced an entire genre.
    • Storm Diablo's halls as either a Warrior, a Sorcerer or a Rogue - each with unique skills and abilities.
    • Unite to destroy Diablo - up to 4 players can band together via Internet, or play head-to-head via LAN.
    • Unprecedented replayability - over 200 different monsters inhabit Diablo's ever-changing labyrinth. Equip epic items to conquer fearsome bosses and their minions.
    • A spine-chilling story - experience the horror of a world held in the grasp of The Lord of Terror.


    Ahhh, fresh meat!

    Travelers looking for the authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net® online-gaming service.
    For those wanting something a bit more modern, Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game tuned for today’s gaming PCs, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, a host of bug fixes and high-resolution support via aspect ratio-correct upscaling.
     

    • The most voted game on the GOG.com wishlist, finally trapped in a DRM-free soulstone!
    • Return to the beginning of this dark saga, now in digital format for the first time ever.
    • Better value than Wirt's wares, guaranteed.

  12. Voxengo is happy to release the version 2.10 of its Stereo Touch plugin - a free stereo widener plugin for professional music and sound production applications.  This plugin is available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plugin formats (including native 64-bit support), for macOS (v10.7 and later), and Windows computers.

    https://www.voxengo.com/product/stereotouch/?eref=ml

    This update features the following changes:

    • Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows.
    • 15% lower CPU usage on AVX2-capable processors (in 64-bit mode).

    93y4o5nh-1.jpg

    This professional audio plugin implements a classic technique of transforming a monophonic track into spacious stereophonic track by means of mid/side coding technique.

    Stereo Touch is most effective on monophonic sounds without overly sharp transients: it works great for both acoustic and electric/overdriven guitars, synthetic pad sounds and even vocals.  By means of this plugin you can easily get spacious and even “surround” sounding tracks, without utilizing a double-tracked recording technique.

    Voxengo Stereo Touch and other audio plugins can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/product/stereotouch/?eref=ml

    ~~~~~~~~~

    So ..  they're probably having a similar sale on Adagio Cellos & Adagio Violins both of which were recently updated.
    Question in my mind is does the new update really add a significant amount of value to these?
    The items I own I bought on sale for $28 or $29 so while I'm glad they updated the library to their current billion lines of code interface I'm not sure that justifies rebuying the libraries.  Doesn't give me the warm fuzzies about dealing with 8dio either but then maybe I'm just in an irritated mood.

  16. I bought my first guitar at 17 from my 'best' friend and paid $25.
    I found out later that he had found it in a trash can while walking with another friend.  He didn't like the original look and  tried to refinish it.  At some point he must have realized that his refinishing skills were on par with his guitar playing skills and then sold it to me.
    It was a horrible instrument - crooked neck & the bridge was a piece of slotted wood; but it was mine.
    That junky guitar started my on a journey that continues to this day...
