We are excited to announce the release of an important update for VU Meter MK3, our versatile and intuitive VU meter with auto gain staging. The new version, 3.0.9, is a maintenance release that brings several crucial bug fixes and improvements to enhance the plugin’s stability and performance. As always, our goal is to provide users with the best possible experience when using our tools, and this update ensures that VU Meter MK3 continues to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
One of the most significant fixes in this update addresses issues with saving and loading states in Wavelab, a popular DAW among professionals. Previously, some users encountered problems where their session states wouldn’t be saved correctly or would fail to load as expected. This inconsistency could cause potential disruptions, especially in long sessions or complex projects. With version 3.0.9, we’ve ensured that you can now safely save your session and load it again without any problems, providing a smoother workflow when working in Wavelab. This fix is particularly useful for users who rely on Wavelab’s stability for their professional work, allowing them to rest assured that their plugin settings will be preserved accurately during session reloading.
In addition to the state-saving issues, we’ve also resolved problems related to background rendering in Wavelab. Background rendering refers to how the plugin updates in real time while audio is playing back, and this is crucial for tasks like metering and gain staging. In the past, background rendering inconsistencies in Wavelab led to accuracy and performance issues with the plugin. This meant that users might experience lag or unreliable readings of their levels, which could lead to errors in mixing or mastering decisions. With the new version, the plugin performs with greater accuracy during playback and editing, ensuring that VU Meter MK3 provides precise, real-time monitoring of your levels. This improvement enhances the overall compatibility of the plugin, making it even more reliable for professionals who depend on accurate, instantaneous feedback.
Another important issue that has been resolved is the random crash that occurred when some users tried to adjust the color scheme using the color picker. Customization is an essential feature for many users, and the ability to change the color of the VU meter is important for those who want to match their plugins with specific workflows or aesthetic preferences. However, earlier versions of the plugin sometimes led to unexpected crashes when users attempted to change the meter’s color. Version 3.0.9 now fixes this issue entirely, allowing users to adjust the color scheme without any crashes or disruptions. The color picker now functions seamlessly, making the plugin even more user-friendly and customizable to your preferences.
Another significant update is the fix for the Auto Gain feature, which had previously displayed incorrect values when the input signal exceeded 0dB. This was problematic because it could result in the Auto Gain function showing inaccurate values that didn’t match the actual input signal. In some cases, this could lead to confusion and unwanted clipping or distortion, which are particularly problematic during critical mixing or mastering processes. With the new update, the Auto Gain function now displays the correct values, allowing for more accurate gain adjustments. This fix helps to ensure that the VU Meter MK3 plugin works reliably when performing automatic gain staging, preventing unwanted distortion while maintaining precise control over the signal levels. As a result, users can maintain a clean and balanced mix with confidence, knowing that the Auto Gain function is accurately reflecting the levels of their audio.
In addition to these crucial bug fixes, the update also brings improvements to the overall user experience. As with all HoRNet plugins, we’ve designed the VU Meter MK3 to be as intuitive and easy to use as possible. The plugin offers a straightforward interface that allows users to quickly monitor their levels and make adjustments without complicated settings or overwhelming controls. Version 3.0.9 ensures that the plugin continues to meet these standards of simplicity while improving reliability and performance.
The addition of a new user manual further enhances the user experience, providing a detailed guide to the plugin’s features and functionality. Whether you’re new to VU Meter MK3 or a seasoned user, the manual will help you fully understand how to use the plugin to its maximum potential. The manual covers everything from basic auto gain staging to advanced settings, ensuring that you can take full advantage of the plugin’s capabilities.
As always, the update is free for current owners of the plugin. To get the latest version, simply log into your user area on our website, and you’ll be able to download and install the update right away. We strongly recommend that all users update to this latest version, as it resolves several critical issues and improves overall performance and stability.
With these updates and fixes, VU Meter MK3 continues to be an essential tool for accurate metering and automatic gain staging. Its reliability and precision make it invaluable in any mixing, tracking, or mastering session, ensuring that users can confidently monitor their levels and make informed decisions about their audio. The combination of auto gain staging, accurate metering, and the user-friendly interface makes it a perfect addition to your audio production toolkit.
Whether you’re working on a single track or an entire project, VU Meter MK3 provides the tools you need to maintain the perfect balance in your mix, helping you deliver a professional and polished sound every time.
