Will have to test this to see if handles guitar finger noise (squeaks) picked up with piezo pickups. iZotope does a decent job if you manually ride the automation, hoping this will do better than that.

No soup for you! But they did include some Logic & M1 fixes...

Never cared for McDSP's business practices and prefer to give my business to other developers.

April 27, 2022: Voxengo Elephant version 5.0 is now available for download and purchase. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plugin for professional audio and sound production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers. Currently on sale 20% off $119.95 $95.96 New in version 5.0: · Version 5 release, upgrade requires a new license. It is fully backwards-compatible, sound-wise. · Implemented the new "EL-5" limiter algorithm. · Updated the noise generator to the latest PRVHASH 4.3. · 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. · Improved overall graphics drawing performance. · 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. The “EL-5” algorithm introduced in Elephant version 5 takes the best from “EL-4” and classic “AIGC” algorithms. The “EL-5” is not as loud and “hard” as the “EL-4” algorithm, but it is much more precise than “AIGC” algorithms while producing an alike smooth sound. This algorithm better retains dynamical structure of the program material while at the same time adds a unique “sparkling and fresh mojo” to the resulting sound. This algorithm is responsive to the “Timing” and “Rls/Atk Ratio” parameters that can be adjusted to tune the algorithm further. Note that the upgraded version can be demoed without losing previous version's authorization: simply install the new version over an existing version. If the new version does not "click", you may reinstall a previous version back, in-place. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications. The most remarkable feature of this signal limiter is its sonic transparency. Elephant brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without audible “fuzz” and “pumping” sonic artifacts. Elephant is a highly competitive plug-in for mastering applications: it features a variety of limiter modes that can be deeply customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools, including headroom estimation, EBU R128 and K-system metering. Elephant's built-in linear-phase oversampling is an important element in achieving high-quality peak limiting and loudness maximization without inter-sample overshoots (true-peak limiting). Elephant limiter can be used for mixing and mastering of both stereo and multi-channel music and sound material, at any standard sample rate. Limiting process can be visualized both as gain reduction meter and real-time waveform graph. Elephant, also featuring a DC offset filter, and a high-quality bit-depth converter with an optional noise-shaping, allows you to finish your music and audio productions with a spark! Elephant features: · Transparent signal limiting action · 13 predefined limiter modes · Limiter mode editor · Optional release stage · Noise-shaped bit-depth converter · RMS, true peak clipping statistics · EBU R128 LUFS/LU metering · DC offset removal filter · Waveform graph view · Stereo and multi-channel processing · Internal channel routing · Channel grouping · Up to 8x linear-phase oversampling · 64-bit floating point processing · Preset manager · Undo/redo history · A/B comparisons · Contextual hint messages · All sample rates support · 24 ms compensated processing latency · Retina and HighDPI support Elephant version 5 is a free upgrade to Premium Membership owners. Owners of previous Elephant versions can upgrade the license to version 5 for US$49.95. The upgrade is free if a previous version was purchased in the recent 180 days. Demo version of Voxengo Elephant can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/product/elephant/?eref=ml

Every BF (at least for the last 3 years), but as noted rarely at other times.

When I bought the regular (non-Pro) version of 7th Heaven a couple of years ago I was hoping that at some point it would get me a discount on the Pro version. Either that hasn't happened or I missed it.. I don't regret buying the lite version though, it's one of my favorite verbs. It just seems easier to dial in something that sits right in the mix than many of my other verbs. I have not tried Slate VerbSuite so can't comment on that.

Duck 1.3 is our biggest Duck update yet. We’ve added three features that make Duck the most powerful sidechain tool on the market: Groups, MIDI Filtering and Band Soloing. Learn more about each new feature below. Groups Add any Ducks to a group (A, B, C or D), and edit their curve shapes simultaneously. Change the feel of the pump throughout a project without flapping around! MIDI Filtering Filter incoming MIDI so that only a select range of notes trigger Duck. This is great for ducking bass against a kick drum when the kick’s MIDI is part of a larger MIDI drum track. Band Soloing Duck always had band splitting to pump your low and high bands differently, but now you can solo each band to fine-tune exactly where you want the crossover to lie.

or not... As the 3rd article explains many optimization tweaks are based on XP era hardware.

Sonible plugin updates... Just discovered there are updates to all my Sonibile plugins except Balancer. Based on installer exe date looks like Freiraum was updated around March 9, 2022. The dates on the other vary. Here's a list of the PC installers with their version numbers. Sonible_smartcomp_win_1.1.4.zip Sonible_smartEQ2_win_1.2.1 .zip Sonible_smarteq3_win_1.1.3.zip Sonible_smartlimit_win_1.0.2.zip Sonible_smartreverb_win_1.0.0.zip Sonible_balancer_win_1.0.3.zip I only checked a couple but the MAC versions appear to match the PC versions.

Didn't know that there was 48.83 MB attachment limit, thanks for info.

Internal is and probably always will be considerably faster. Data transfer will go as fast as the slowest device or bus in the chain • the source disk • the interfaces over which the data is moving • the destination disk External interface/connection types: Thunderbolt • Thunderbolt 3 and 4 support speeds up to 40Gbps. • Thunderbolt 2 supports speeds up to 20Gbps. USB-C • USB 4 supports speeds up to 40Gbps. • USB 3.1 supports speeds up to l0Gbps. USB-A • USB 4 supports speeds up to 40Gbps. • USB 3.1 supports speeds up to 10 Gbps. • USB 3.0 supports speeds up to 5 Gbps. • USB 2 supports speeds up to 480Mbps. • USB1 supports speeds up to 12Mbps. Firewire (6 Gbps) Any system that supports either USB 3.0 or higher can easily handle the 900 to 1025Mbps that the drives mention in this thread are capable of. In actual situations, many of these max speeds are rarely achieved.

Whenever I try to paste an image to a post I get the message: You are only allowed to upload 10.24kB Use to be able to past image into a post, I'm guessing that there was a policy change? Or am I not doing something in the right manner?

Agreed. It's faster, $40 cheaper & has better warranty. I pulled the trigger and bought one.

Looks like a nice deal. Might make a good drive to hold my Kontakt libs. Anyone have one of these? Edit: Comparing listed specs WD_BLACK 2TB D30: Up to 900MBS $169 Samsung T5 Portable (2TB): Up to 540MBS $209

SSL 360 download link: SSL 360° Release Notes – SSL Support (solidstatelogic.com) Not sure how I previously missed this.

I'm only seeing E/G curves... From website - "You can switch between the legendary E-series and G-series EQ profiles for added flexibility."

Not seeing the 360 as an included piece... From what I see searching around the web it's free but requires hardware to work or am I missing something?

Resistance is futile...

Try the demo https://www.robpapen.com/Predator-3-demo.html and make sure you like the synth. 6,000 presets mean nothing if you don't like the texture of its sound or if it has problems on your system. I'm not saying there's anything wrong or lacking in Papen's synth or his presets. Indeed Albino, one of his old endeavors (well 1/2 his), is still one of my favorites. But presets counts only mean something if the selection is well curated as it's not hard for a programmer to whip up a random preset generator and create thousands of presets.

Can only have PW in cart for code to work. A freebie (not necessarily the one you think) will show up with your purchased items.

Nice, but at $549.00 can't personally justify it at the moment.

At the moment going for $99 at multiple dealers Arturia MiniLab MkII 25 Slim-key Controller | Sweetwater
