Liqube Audio updates Resonic Player & Resonic Pro to v0.8.6b

Liqube Audio has released version 0.8.6b of its Resonic Player and Resonic Pro software for managing samples in Windows.

The update introduces vertical waveform zoom, audio extraction improvements, and several right-click menus to Resonic Pro. It also fixes a few pressing issues (track advance, tray, device selection) in both Resonic Player and Pro.

Resonic Player is a fast audio and music player, directory player, and sample browser, built around a big waveform view and a frequency analyzer.
Resonic Pro is a powerful sample manager, audio browser, and creativity tool for audio professionals that comes loaded with a unique set of inspiring and workflow-enhancing features, and an extensive metadata system.
