We are excited to announce that we have just released an update for AnalogStage, bringing it to version 1.1.1. This update is a maintenance release that addresses a number of issues and introduces important fixes and improvements designed to ensure a smoother and more reliable user experience. Whether you’re a long-time user or someone who’s just started exploring the possibilities of AnalogStage, this update brings a host of enhancements that will elevate your audio production workflow.
If you’re already using AnalogStage, you’ll be pleased to know that this update resolves several key issues that have been reported by users, as well as introduces additional features that further streamline its performance. We always listen to feedback from our users, and this update is a direct result of your valuable input. Our goal is to continually improve the functionality and stability of AnalogStage, ensuring it remains one of the most trusted tools for adding analog warmth and saturation to your digital mixes.
The 1.1.1 update includes the following fixes and improvements:
Fixed pop sound when switching to the tube model: One of the most common issues reported by users was the unwanted pop sound when transitioning between models. This sound, which could disrupt a smooth audio workflow, has now been completely resolved. With this update, switching between the tube model and other settings is now a seamless experience with no unwanted artifacts. This fix ensures that your mixing process is free from distractions, helping you stay focused on the sound rather than dealing with technical glitches.
Fixed missing initialization of the VU meters envelopes: Another issue that has been addressed is the initialization of the VU meters. Users reported that the VU meters were not displaying the correct envelope information when the plugin was first used. This issue has been resolved, ensuring that the VU meters now start functioning properly from the moment you load the plugin. With this fix, you will receive accurate visual feedback of your audio levels, which is crucial for maintaining balance and consistency in your mixes.
Fixed phase reversal issue with the tube model: The phase reversal problem in the tube model has been another area of concern for some users. This issue caused phase discrepancies when using the tube emulation for warmth and saturation, potentially resulting in undesirable sound changes. We’ve carefully addressed and corrected this problem in version 1.1.1, so now your audio will remain phase-accurate even when you’re pushing the tube model to its limits. This fix ensures that you can rely on the tube model to add warmth and character to your tracks without worrying about phase shifts that might affect the integrity of your mix.
Fixed issue with one channel being louder than the other at extreme saturation levels: This was a particularly frustrating issue where one channel would be noticeably louder than the other when the plugin was pushed to extreme saturation levels. This inconsistency has now been addressed, ensuring that both the left and right channels are perfectly balanced, even under heavy saturation. This fix is especially useful for mastering applications, where ensuring equal channel levels is critical to the final output. Whether you’re working on a stereo mix or a complex arrangement, you can be confident that AnalogStage will maintain accurate and balanced audio.
Added auto deactivation of auto gain on playback stop: One of the new features introduced in this update is the auto deactivation of auto gain when playback is stopped. This feature is designed to improve your workflow by automatically disabling the auto gain function when you stop playback, preventing any unwanted adjustments or sudden volume changes when you’re not actively working on the track. This small but effective change helps you maintain a more stable and predictable environment while mixing or mastering, and it minimizes any disruption that could occur when playback is paused or stopped.
The 1.1.1 update significantly enhances the overall stability and performance of AnalogStage. By resolving these common issues and introducing new features, we’ve made the plugin even more reliable and efficient for all users. This update is particularly important for those who rely on AnalogStage for critical audio work, whether in mixing, mastering, or recording.
The VU meters, tube emulation, and phase accuracy improvements are crucial for achieving the most natural and balanced audio results. Whether you’re working on vintage-style mixes or pushing the saturation to extreme levels, the changes in this update allow you to trust the plugin’s behavior with greater certainty.
