DNR Collaborative Designs has announced the upcoming release of MixControl Pro, a complete high-quality, professional channelstrip with a unique sound that offers flexible module processing, pristine audio quality and a combination of useful new features.

MixControl Pro has 2 separate professionally designed interface layouts, created by Anders Hedstrom (http://flavoursoflime.blogspot.com/) to allow users of different screen sizes and workflows to benefit from. We have worked closely with Anders, our users and our development team to integrate the most requested, useful and aesthetically pleasing interface features.

MixControl Pro builds on the solid foundation known in the original MixControl by adding many useful aesthetic and functional enhancements such as extremely high-quality oversampling, 2 new professional UI layouts, 3 unique analog-style saturation modes, and a much more responsive FFT analyzer. Gate mixing, sub-preset loading modules and quick mouse controls round out the new workflow enhancements to enable you to work faster and smarter to get the perfect mix for your project.

New in MixControl Pro

• Solo for individual EQ bands.
• 3 Unique new saturation modes.
• Gate wet/dry mixing function.
• Full V1 backwards compatibility.
• Enhanced metering accuracy.
• Adjustable FFT (fast/normal/slow).
• Ultra-HQ oversampling mode.
• 2 UI Versions (Extended+Refined).
• Fully anti-aliased EQ graph.
• Mouse wheel EQ node control.
• Right-click Filter selection.

MixControl Pro for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is scheduled for release on August 1^st, priced at $129 USD. RTAS format is planned, but no ETA is available at this time. All formats support license keyfile protection, no obtrusive dongle or C/R protection.

The plugin is now available to pre-order as part of the developement’s beta phase:

For anyone who did not get in on the previous discount, we have designated the final weeks of the beta phase of development to allow users to pre-order the software. The pre-order will give you access to the original version of MixControl and immediate access to MixControl Pro upon release, as well as all point updates. The list below indicates the times of each phase and the discounted price you will pay:

- July 4th through July 11th – $59.00
- July 12th through July 18th – $79.00
- July 19th through August 1st – $99.00

Voxengo has released version 2.3 of SPAN, a free real-time “fast Fourier transform” audio spectrum analyzer plug-in for Windows and Mac.

For the most part it was derived from Voxengo GlissEQ dynamic parametric equalizer and reproduces its spectrum analysis functionality.

Changes in SPAN v2.3

• Right/left signal power difference readout added.
• “Filled Spectrum” spectrum display mode switch added.
• Level meter’s “density mode” improved.
• Control surface crosshair option added (can be switched off in the global options).

SPAN for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available as a free download.

Andyware has announced that Analog Box 2 is now available as open source software.

Analog Box is an open-source, circuit based, modular software synthesizer. You put sound objects on the screen, connect them together, listen and adjust. When you find something you like, you can record it to a wav file, or just save the circuit and play it again later.

ABox is somewhat like the vintage synth’s of the ’70′s in that there are separate modules with lots of patch cords, knobs, buttons and displays. But you also get the computational ability offered by modern CPU’s. Features like FFTs, Differentials and Digital Control open up realms of sound design never dreamt of before. With the advanced capabilities offered by VSTi, USB/HID, MIDI and Directshow you could conceivably play your favorite video soundtrack through a plugin adjusted by a glove controller.

Analog Box 2 is available under the GNU GPL v3 license.

Expert Sleepers has released version 1.0.2 of Spectral Conquest, an FFT frequency spectrum manipulation effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

Spectral Conquest is an effect plug-in that lets you directly manipulate the frequency spectrum of audio signals.

Changes in Spectral Conquest v1.0.2

• Fixed reporting of plug-in latency to host.
• Fixed GUI issues in REAPER on Windows.
• Mac VST version now supports native 64 bit usage.

Note: only the VST versions (Mac and Windows) are updated.

Crysonic has announced the imminent release of Version 4 of their flagship product Spectralive NXT and it will available by mid February for Mac OSX and PC in all native formats.

Amongst many new features Spectralive NXT V4 HD will now be a native 64-Bit plug-in for both PC and Mac as well as offering 32-Bit compatibility.

Spectralive NXT V4 HD has been re-coded for speed providing at least up to 30% better CPU usage together with many new features such as a full 3D high-resolution Real-Time FFT Spectrum waveform display (there is also the option to use anaglyph red/blue glasses ) and a Spectrogram display enabling precise monitoring of the effected audio, including many other new features and improvements. Spectralive V4 HD now works in 2 switchable modes between Simple and Advanced GUI settings giving the user the ability to choose the mode that best suits their requirements.

Spectralive V4 also increases the number of methods by which the user can convert a mono signal such as vocals to a true stereo signal using new proprietary algorithms attaining exceptional and outstanding results. The included 11 Band Look-ahead Soft Peak limiter /EQ /Maximizer with intelligent clip warning assistant has also been re-coded for finer control, CPU efficiency and enhanced quality. A Final Master Clipping prevention system ensures your audio does not distort and this can be switched on or off. More features to be announced until the launch date so stay tuned.

Taking the lead from the very popular previous Spectralive plug-in, SPECTRALIVE V4 HD will be available to purchase on-line from the crysonic website by the middle of February 2011 for Mac OSX Universal Binary, VST and PC VST formats as a native 64-Bit plugin.

Faber Acoustical has released Electroacoustics Toolbox 3.0, a modularized, multi-channel dynamic signal analyzer and data acquisition platform for Mac.

It brings powerful new tools to the Macintosh platform for multi-channel, audio-band data acquisition and real-time analysis of electrical, acoustical, and electroacoustic signals and systems. It enables precise measurements of acoustic quantities, such as equivalent and time-weighted sound levels, as well as acoustic and electroacoustic systems, such as listening rooms and loudspeakers. The software is designed to work with any Mac-compatible audio hardware and supports multiple channels of 8, 16, 24, or 32-bit data with sample rates as high as the hardware will support.

Changes in Electroacoustics Toolbox 3.0

• Version 3 sports an improved user interface.
• User preferences are available for individual tools.
• Default audio device configurations, including channel labels, units, and sensitivity can be saved.
• Virtual input channels can be added to audio input devices. Two-channel signal arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply) is now supported.
• Arbitrary FFT lengths may be specified in FFT-based analysis tools.
• Sound Level Meter and Octave Analyzer tools support percentile-exceeded sound levels.
• Extended low-frequency support has been added to the Octave Analyzer.
• The Spectrogram supports log frequency scales and real-time 3D spectrogram display.
• Version 3 includes various other improvements over previous versions.
• The Toolbox may now be purchased and maintained through the Mac App Store.

Electroacoustics Toolbox 3.0 for Mac is available to purchase for $599 USD.
