As the audio industry continues to evolve, we understand the importance of staying current, and this update ensures that Magnus MK2 remains at the forefront of the market.

Key Features and Improvements:

1. Added Support for Apple Silicon Platform:

One of the most exciting and significant additions in this update is the official support for the Apple Silicon platform. With the increasing number of audio professionals making the switch to Apple’s new M1 and M2 chips, ensuring full compatibility with this platform was one of our top priorities. Magnus MK2 is now fully optimized to run on the latest Mac hardware, delivering the same high-quality limiting performance users expect, but with improved speed and efficiency tailored to Apple’s new architecture.

Whether you’re working on a MacBook Pro with the M1 chip, a MacBook Air with the M2 chip, or any of the latest iMacs powered by Apple’s Silicon, you can rely on Magnus MK2 to provide professional-level limiting without compromising performance. This added support ensures that the plugin is future-proof and will perform reliably across Apple’s latest hardware, making it a crucial tool for anyone working with cutting-edge audio production setups. With Apple Silicon now fully supported, you can be confident that Magnus MK2 will continue to deliver optimized results for years to come.

2. Fixed Interface Issues on High-DPI Monitors (Windows):

We’ve also addressed an important usability issue that many users with high-DPI monitors on Windows may have encountered in previous versions of Magnus MK2. In earlier releases, users with high-resolution screens might have found that the plugin’s graphical user interface (GUI) appeared too small, making it difficult to navigate and interact with the various controls. This was particularly problematic for those working on modern monitors with higher pixel densities, such as 4K or 5K displays.

In v2.1.0, we’ve resolved this issue by ensuring that the GUI scales correctly on high-DPI screens. No matter what screen resolution you’re using, whether it’s a standard HD display or a more modern high-resolution monitor, Magnus MK2 now displays with clarity and ease. The interface has been optimized to maintain a crisp, clear, and user-friendly layout on all displays, making it easier to interact with the controls, monitor your levels, and adjust parameters without frustration. This update significantly enhances the overall user experience, making your workflow more comfortable and efficient.

Why Update?

The v2.1.0 update brings magnificent improvements in both performance and usability, especially for users with the latest Apple Silicon hardware and those working on Windows systems with high-DPI monitors. The addition of Apple Silicon support ensures that Magnus MK2 remains compatible with the next generation of Mac hardware, allowing users to continue relying on this powerful tool without issues. Apple’s transition to M1 and M2 chips has ushered in a new era of audio production, and with this update, Magnus MK2 has positioned itself as a key asset for users looking to maximize the potential of their Apple devices.

Additionally, the fixed scaling issue for high-DPI monitors ensures that the plugin will now be easier to use, regardless of the type of system you’re working with. This update is a clear response to the growing trend of higher resolution displays and makes sure that Magnus MK2 remains a top choice for professionals who demand not only performance but also a high level of usability.

For users on both Mac and Windows, the v2.1.0 update represents a significant step forward in ensuring that Magnus MK2 continues to meet the evolving demands of modern production environments.
