Supposed to be low latency.  Would like to get actual numbers from RTL Utility.

this has been previously discussed & documented... How about 1.6ms?

These stats were from the previous model, not sure what the current model's stats are.

or "At 1ms total round-trip latency, Quantum makes software based monitoring effectively on-par with hardware."
Here's the post to go with that quote (it's at the bottom of that post) but read all of page 3 on that thread to get the proper context.
It mentions that your computer must have the proper components such as having a properly spec'ed thunderbolt 3 port to get that kind of RTL.

The quoted articles were from 2020 and there may be other models or brands that can now get similar latency.
I haven't been following this area since I bought a used Quantum 2 and I'm happy with it, at the moment I see no need to get something else.

this seems like a very personal question to be asking in a public forum ? LOL

yes, i do check and pediodically clean the membranes (on my microphones). probably 12-15 years ago i read that spit and other things on the mic capsule can reduce response as well as cause noise, so i've been checking and gently cleaning - distilled water with very soft cotton pad after brushing (very soft paint brush) any dust and particles... i usually use a very low power vacuum for "dusting" the mesh on a couple of mics i have on stands all the time, and also my headphones (and cleaning any gunk of my IEM pair). for live performanc mics, i also take of the mesh and any foam windsceening and give them a good cleaning with mild soap and water and dry  throughly.

You've got to judge what you're dealing with - type of mic, age, it's value and how likely it is that your cleaning will improve things.

In general I'm much more comfortable cleaning up or repairing a dynamic mic than other types. 

• Old foam degrades - washing the foam portion of windscreen on a vintage mic may cause it to disintegrate or stiffen up altering the sound.
• Extreme care must be taken when doing maintenance on a ribbon mic - you cannot touch the ribbon without altering it; canned air or a vacuum can deform or destroy the ribbon. Getting the ribbon wet will deform it. 
• Condenser mics - I've cleaned the grill cages/mesh sometimes just to remove odors, but unless the mic capsule looks filthy I generally refrain from using anything other than a very soft paint brush to dust it. If you damage the diaphragm of a vintage mic, even if you can replace it, it'll never sound the same.

Years back I got a Motu UltraLite shortly after they came out and I had nothing but continuous problems with it. 
Maybe on a MAC they worked OK but on my PC system(s) the random, intermittent noise issues made it unusable - the drivers were garbage.  Updates changed the problems but didn't eliminate them.
I went back and forth with their tech support for months then one day I cleared up all my issues by moving a small piece of plastic out of my wallet and using it to buy something else (IIRC I bought a used Roland QUAD-Capture).  
YMMV but I'll never buy another Motu piece of gear.

The older website was easier to tell when there was an update. Now  the new file names remove the version number.  And there is no release  date on the webpage for the latest  version. Anyone else notice this or is there a different way I’m missing?

It's nice that you can now actually have an account with Synchro Arts and that they can connect to your iLok and link your purchases to your account.

Yes - it would be nice if they still included the version number as part of the download file name. But being that I can copy that info from the web page and then paste it  (add it) to the file name when I download things that doesn't bother me so much (I already have to do this with most plugin downloads).

That they don't show the release dates on the 'my-products' page bothers me much more.

I've already opened a ticket politely requesting/suggesting that they add this information to the web page.
If either or both (or other) of these issues bother you please take a moment and politely request that they modify things.  Many companies will respond to polite feedback about such things.
If you wish to submit a ticket to Synchro Arts - here's the link to the appropriate page  https://synchroarts.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/search?utf8=✓&query=web ,
the link, "Submit a request", is on the top menu bar. 
Note that this takes you into their Zendesk support site, you don't have to log in and your Synchro Arts login doesn't work here.

Also - it also looks like they've updated all their plugs since last time I checked, but not finding a change list.

LOL, and I still have a spare 2nd one that I bought online from a store closeout thinking it was an iLok...

The demos really sounds nice. 

Some kind of marketing magic is happening...
The Fluid IRs add stereo - adding harmonics content doesn't convert a mono sound to stereo.
It's the kind of thing (stereo enhancement) that I often try to add to a guitar track so I'm not against what it does and that you can turn it off if you don't want it makes it a bonus instead of a liability.
I'll have to check it out and also see what happens when you fold it down to mono.

I've got a number of things on my USB eLicenser, including Cubase 11 (which I never got around to installing on my latest computer)...

I think he's showing off his new lefthanded ToneX, he previously stated that he's not sure if he bought the right one...

How hard is it for a company to google to see if there isn't already a company using the same name for a plugin?

They're on a theme of beefy, presumably aggressive animals - Rhino, Gorilla, Mastodon
They probably did check and decided that Big Tick's soft synth (probably considered ancient by today's consumers) wasn't going to confuse their guitar playing potential customers.

Nowadays coming up with a unique name for a plugin is like trying to find a unique name for your kid, unless you're going for something esoteric or a combination of random numbers/letters (and sometimes even then) someone's already using that name.

Why are we promoting what should be a dead thread? (this one)
 

Refer to:

Change log for 2.5.83 (Released on April 29th, 2024)

All products:

• Fixed an issue where a corrupt Preset Collection settings file would cause plug-ins to crash on Windows.

You mean GB, right? 4TB for an amp plugin would be insane hahah

Download speeds are super slow right now, I should have installed before letting you guys know haha

I just updated mine.
Download speed wasn't bad - can't say it was any faster/slower than the IK server normally is.

If the installer was 4TB - I'd expect Tonex to automatically offer to play my parts as well.

They're offended by Henson's use of the word "Demon" in the product title.  

That's a hell of thing to get offended by...

At least nowadays. 

Now only if my bank account had 50% more $...

Don't know when XLN added the release notes (as I & others have previously looked for and not found) but it's nice.

Ummm, what? Is that the new math? $299-$100=$299? And Tonex Max is currently $149. I am so confused.

You get Tonex Max with full size pedal, Tonex SE comes with ToneX One 

The $299 or $299 thing is if you don't want the $100 off offer/coupon (assuming that you're offered it) you're welcome to use your Jam points instead; they don't stack.
Or at least that's what I recall.  Since I picked up mine a while back I haven't been really following these offers/sales/deals.

Kind of, except robes aren't required.
