Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

Odd... I inserted it into a mastering chain on my Master Fader track and the visualizer and all the graphics on screen got very slow and stuttered. But it was a very weird situation because I created a new Master Fader and inserted the same plugs and it was fine. Weird. Cool plug.

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

For anyone who wants to know... you do get a 10 day free trial when you first install these so you can evaluate them. Which is what I probably should have done. I just bought this one blind. :D

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

Interesting about only AU and VST3. I see a few plugins now and then that do not have AAX versions. I have Pro Tools on my Mac and am current with 2024.3.1 but I really don't use it. But good to know when they don't cover ALL plugin formats. Well, I just installed it and I guess I assumed the worst...

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

I'm picking this up for sure, struggling a bit with an old recording of vocals that are all over the place loudness wise even when heavily compressed.. I just went ahead and bought the bundle, too. I noticed as I'm downloading things that at first glance it seems to include a decent manual as well,...

Cool... it is working here and I'm able to browse lots of presets in HALion, Padshop and Groove Agent. Backbone pops up with blank interface and The Grand still crashes.

Re: ikMultimedia ARC 4 Studio

Hey Mike... wanted to ask you how you like this so far? I know in theory I you can track with this... but wondering... how bad is latency of the hardware unit itself?

Re: Behringer 369 - Vintage Stereo Compressor Limiter

I have a Behringer EuroPower powered mixer in my rehearsal room. It's adequate for that. Only issue I had with it is the "drunk button"... I call it that. It's a button that doesn't really power the unit down but mutes all the microphone inputs (preventing "drunks" in clubs from ...

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

Yeah... this guy has a tendency to just dive in and review plugins that he really hasn't spent much time with. As a result, he sometimes misses features or how to use a particular feature. Something about this plug caught my eye. I haven't uploaded any new music to any of the services in a while, b...

Re: We need a project load dialog

I like the meme-like construction of your image-- where DP is the punchline. But to this point, I don't think in 2024, I should have to sit and stare at a spinning colored ball for a minute or so hoping that my greyed-out waveforms are going to turn solid and my project is going to load. Some sort ...

Re: We need a project load dialog

I like the meme-like construction of your image-- where DP is the punchline. Yeah... well believe me... I am a big supporter of MOTU. I don't think I should have to say that having created and ran this forum and paid for the hosting for decades out of my own pocket. I know they have a lot going on....

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

...but next thing I'm going to try is install 11.5.0 and see if it will co-exist with the newer versions as a band-aid. I heard from MOTU that Steinberg is supposed to update MediaBay at some point to fix but they haven't. Okay... well that DID NOT WORK. DP crashed immediately on loading HALion (AU...

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

Just a little updated on this. I got some info from MOTU that the issue is with Steinberg's Media Bay app. Or if you search for it on your drive, it will be called something like "MediaBay Server.app" at least I think so... because... I download the latest version of the MediaBay installer...
