Bugfix update for our visual multi band compressor
We are excited to announce the release of version 1.0.4 of our popular MBC plugin – the visual automatic multi-band compressor that brings a powerful and intuitive approach to managing dynamics in your mixes. Whether you’re mixing music, podcasts, sound design, or any other audio project, MBC offers advanced tools to handle dynamic range with precision and ease. This latest update not only brings important bug fixes and performance improvements but also expands the plugin’s compatibility, ensuring it works more smoothly across a wider range of platforms and digital audio workstations (DAWs).
At HoRNet, we take user feedback seriously, and we’ve listened closely to the needs of our community to ensure that MBC delivers the best possible experience. Version 1.0.4 brings several crucial updates that address key issues reported by users, making it even more reliable and efficient for a seamless workflow. Let’s dive into the improvements in MBC 1.0.4:
Improved Compatibility with macOS 10.15 and Earlier Versions
macOS users have been a crucial part of our community, and with MBC version 1.0.4, we’ve improved compatibility for macOS 10.15 and earlier versions of macOS. Previously, some users faced compatibility issues that prevented the plugin from running properly on older macOS systems. This update resolves those problems, ensuring that MBC now operates smoothly across a broader range of macOS versions. This fix extends the plugin’s compatibility, allowing users with older macOS systems to continue using the plugin without issues, and ensures a consistent experience no matter which macOS version you are on.
Fixed Crashes with FL Studio and Renoise on Windows
We’ve addressed a critical issue for Windows users, specifically those using FL Studio and Renoise. A number of users experienced crashes when running MBC in these DAWs. We understand how frustrating this can be when you’re deep into your production, so we’ve worked hard to resolve these crashes. In this update, we’ve made significant improvements to ensure MBC works seamlessly with both FL Studio and Renoise. Now, users can enjoy a stable, crash-free experience without any interruptions in their workflow.
Resolved Freeze Issues with Cubase on Windows
Another important fix for Windows users is the resolution of freeze issues that some experienced when loading MBC in Cubase. This bug was particularly problematic when the plugin was loaded into projects, causing the plugin to freeze and making it impossible to continue working. We’ve fully addressed this issue in version 1.0.4, ensuring that MBC now loads smoothly within Cubase without freezing or locking up. This fix will make Cubase users’ experience much more stable and enjoyable, allowing them to focus on their mixes without worrying about technical difficulties.
Fixed UI Resize Issue on AAX
The user interface (UI) is one of the most important aspects of any plugin, and we’re constantly working to improve it. In this version, we’ve resolved an issue with AAX (Advanced Audio Extensions) users, where the UI resize functionality was not working properly. This problem prevented users on Pro Tools and other AAX-compatible DAWs from resizing the UI to their preferred dimensions. Now, with MBC 1.0.4, Pro Tools users can enjoy an improved scalable interface, making it easier to adjust the plugin’s appearance according to their needs. The interface now scales smoothly, allowing for a more customizable and efficient workflow.
Preset Recalling Now Works Properly with DAWs from the DAW Preset Manager
Preset management is a key feature of MBC, and we’ve worked to improve how saved presets are recalled in your DAW. Previously, some users reported issues when attempting to recall presets from the DAW preset manager. These problems could slow down your workflow, but with this update, preset recalling now works as it should, no matter which DAW you’re using. Whether you’re recalling your presets for different mix elements or transitioning between projects, you’ll now have a reliable preset system that works consistently, enhancing your efficiency.
Removed VST2.4 Support
After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to discontinue support for the VST2.4 format in MBC. This change comes in line with industry standards and allows us to focus on more advanced plugin formats that offer better performance and greater flexibility. Moving forward, MBC will only support VST3, AAX, and AU formats. These formats provide advanced features, enhanced performance, and broader compatibility with modern DAWs, offering a more streamlined experience for our users. If you are currently using VST2.4, we recommend transitioning to one of the supported formats for the best performance.
