Ahhh... plot thickens. I launched iZotope Product Portal and looks like the whole Ozone 11 suite has been updated.

Re: MNTRA Instruments MNDALA 2.4.0 updated to 2.4.1

Okay... I just tested it. I figured I'd better because I had an APFS snapshot of by boot drive made just before I updated it. (I know keep a log in a text file of when I install new plugs/updates and when I make Time Machine backups.). I can't explain it, but the 2.4.1 update seems to be working okay on my system. My specs are in my sig, but if you're using Tapatalk and can't see sigs, this is my system:

M1 Max Mac Studio, 64GB/2TB, macOS 14.5, Digital Performer 11.32, MOTU 828es, 24Ai, MIDI Express XT, UAD-2 TB3 Satellite OCTO, Avid S3, Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk2, Console 1 Mk2
Thanks for testing this James, yes, I see your sig. Tech support got back to me and the solution for me was:

DELETE:
Navigate to your Root Folder: Library > Application Support > MNTRA > MNDALA 2 OR
Alternatively, go to: Root Folder > Users > 'username' > Library > Application Support > MNTRA > MNDALA 2
Then go back to Library > Caches > MNDALA 2 and delete this folder as well.

There was no caches folder for me, but I then did a re-install. I then had to re-download and re-install the libraries. (minor pain, but I was able to set the default library location.)

I really like this company, as I think their stuff is very high quality and very reasonably priced. It is not always musical, but is very good for sound design.

EDIT: Thy even offered me a free library for helping them troubleshoot the player. How's that for service?!

As always with overlap between bundles and individual licenses, it's clear as mud. But I went to Waves.com and gut WUP'd to get current. What the heck.

Well, part of my routine when I'm not working is to get up and launch all the various plugin developer update apps and soon as I see an update I post here as I'm installing it. :)

Sonarworks updated to 5.11.1 on 6/19/24

Post by James Steele »

Sonarworks updated to 5.11.1 on 6/19/24

Gonna go ahead and do measurements with the ADAM A77Hs I got the other day. No, they aren't really burned in yet and I know I'lll need to do it again, but just want o familiarize myself with the procedure. So I just checked and there is an update released about a week ago to Sonarworks.
Release notes for 5.11.1
Date of release: 19 June 2024


SoundID Reference

→ Updated the algorithm for exporting presets to the Audient ORIA interface. No need to remeasure your setup - if your previously exported calibration preset caused some noise during playback, update SoundID Reference and export the preset to Audient ORIA again.

→ [macOS] Fixed an issue which would cause an application crash when using some Universal Audio interfaces.

→ Fixed some issues that didn't allow exporting to DADman previously.

→ [macOS] Fixed an issue which would rarely and inconsistently remove calibration profiles and settings files upon launch.

→ Fixed an issue that prevented exporting presets to Merging Anubis interface in some cases.

SoundID Reference plugin

→ Fixed an issue which prevented the user to bypass the plugin when using the in-DAW bypass controls.

APU Software Updates

Post by James Steele »

Looks like APU Software's Dynamics Optimizer, Loudness Compressor and Loudness Meter all have gotten updates. Several since I initially got the apps and plugin. I only thought to check recently. I had 2.6.4 installed. They're up to 2.8.3 now:
