Both maintenance releases are containing important stability improvements, especially for the memory issues that were causing crashes when deleting plugins in some host applications.
The Density mkII v2.0.2 update is available through the downloads page here.
The FerricTDS v1.0.2 update is available through the KVR Developer Challenge over here.

As so many folks had already requested that there should be a separate page here in the blog which is solely dedicated to the available Variety Of Sound plug-in portfolio and more descriptive information on that, this topic has finally entered the top ten of my todo list. Read More »

The concept of magnetic recording to a moving tape was invented by the German-Austrian engineer Fritz Pfleumer and received a patent back in 1928. The basic idea was to translate the voltage from the audio signal straight into magnetic energy, which then induces magnetic particles on a tape (moving along the inductor at constant speed). These particles manage to store the audio information. The whole process goes the other way around for recall.

Just a short update on whats going on with some already reported issues concerning Density mkII (released around two weeks ago):
- There will be a SSE1 compatible version
- The CPU spiking “denormal” issues and heavy CPU loads are already fixed
- A fix for the loading issues in Wavelab is currently under investigation and test
- Some crash reports will be further investigated
The current plan is to release a 2.0.1 bugfix release to end of September containing whats fixed and stable then.

While working on the Density overall re-design I was working extensively on the audio engine as well but just for one single reason: The one thing I was missing in the original design was to have some more “responsive” gain riding possibilities but without the usual tradeoff of introducing more distortion or compromising the transparency. And (unsurprisingly) that turned out to be not that easy.
Developers friend: the oscilloscope

Houston, we have a release date! The release of the Density mkII VST plug-in is now scheduled to end of this month. More specs and details will appear here during the next days or so – stay tuned. If you tend to react allergic concerning teasers better stay away a while from here

Some impressions from the studio yesterday. There is one device which adds some warmth to the production but can’t be emulated in digital – can you spot it (easy)? Can you spot all brands (hard)? Read More »
