Accusonus ERA 6 Bundle Pro & VoiceChanger v1.2 MacOS

Accusonus ERA 6 Bundle Pro & VoiceChanger v1.2 MacOS

As a professional in post and music production, you deal with impossible deadlines. Opening another application and dialing in obscure algorithm parameters is just not an option. Meet the ERA Bundle Pro: Multi-patented next-generation audio repair that offers both fast and high-quality processing. Your workflow deserves an upgrade.

Voice Changer: Craft Perfect Voice Effects, Fast! Sculpt quick & convincing voice effects, fast. Accusonus Voice Changer is an all-in-one virtual sound designer, and powerful voice processing tool! Change the character of your voice From trailer narration to monsters, robots to ghosts. Your content portrays a ton of varying characters, who need varying voices. Start off by altering our presets, or dive straight in and create your own character’s sound.

ERA-D
ERA-D focuses on two things and does them exceptionally well. When you need deep and sophisticated denoise and dereverberation, ERA-D is the right tool for you:

  •  Multi-patented algorithms for Denoise and Dereverberation
  •  Intelligent joint mode takes the natural noise and reverb counter-interaction into account for higher quality sonic results
  •  Dual Channel mode that enables you to use a secondary mic to improve the audio repair quality on your primary mic

Noise Remover
A simple and elegant solution for instant denoising. The ERA Noise Remover automatically estimates the noise profile and allows you to adjust background noise. From fan and HVAC noise to electric interference (such as hum and hiss), you only need a single knob. The ERA algorithm is multi-patented and therefore unique compared to anything you’ve heard before.

Reverb Remover
Although artificial reverb adds depth and richness to the sound, poor room acoustics can make your recordings sound distant and hollow. The ERA Reverb Remover automatically estimates the reverberation profile and allows you to adjust the amount of recorded reverb in a streamlined interface. Whether you want to repair location recordings or tighten music performances, the ERA Reverb Remover is your new secret weapon.

Plosive Remover
Loud plosives are a complex type of distortion and removing them manually can be an extremely time-consuming task. The ERA Plosive Remover automatically takes care of the problem, allowing you to polish your vocals with the turn of a single dial.

De-Esser
Harsh sibilance may affect your voice/vocal tracks even when you use the best recording equipment. Use the ERA De-Esser to instantly smooth out the harsh ess-es from your recordings. The ERA De-Esser performs transparent processing in the frequency domain and is also great for other material such as hissing cymbals or even full mixes.

Voice Leveler
Gain inconsistencies are common in both audio and video recordings. They often happen as a result of intentional or unintentional speaker movement, non-ideal microphone positioning or heavy audio & video editing. Use this single-knob plugin to save yourself from hours of manual gain adjustments.

Mouth De-Clicker
Mouth Noise ruins audio. Fixing it is time consuming, and so is re-recording. Instead, you can use Mouth De-Clicker; it highlights all mouth sounds, lip smacks and saliva crackles in your track. You can then remove them quickly with a simple interface. Fast and efficient de-clicking, allowing you to spend less hours cleaning, and more time creating.

Version 6.0.00 – 2021/9/21

New

  • ERA De-Breath is a brand new plug-in that automatically detects and removes annoying breath noise
  • The Assistant feature of Audio Clean-Up Assistant can automatically repair and enhance your audio, in just a few seconds!
  • Full compatibility with M1 systems
  • New presets for Audio Clean-Up Assistant

Ableton Live 11 Suite v11.0.10 WIN & MacOSX

By | September 27, 2021

Ableton Live 11 Suite v11.0.10 WIN & MacOSX

Ableton Live 11 Suite v11.0.10 WIN & MacOSX

Create bolder sounds with Live’s new devices. Stay in the flow with a multitude of workflow improvements. Do even more away from the computer with Push. Build your sound with a curated library. And get the unlimited potential of Max for Live, seamlessly built in.

What’s new in Live 11:

  • Create your perfect take
  • Take recording and comping

Live organizes multiple passes of an audio or MIDI performance into individual takes. Pick the best moments of each performance and combine them to create your perfect take. Or approach sound design in a new way by splicing together random samples from your library.

Linked-track editing
Link two or more tracks to edit their content simultaneously. This makes editing multi-tracked instruments or performances with multiple musicians easy and fast whilst keeping everything in time across tracks. This feature also works for MIDI tracks.

Add more feeling to your music
Use your MPE-capable controller
Plug in your MPE-capable controller and immediately add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord. Add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures.

What is MPE?
MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression. This way of using MIDI allows MPE-capable devices to control multiple parameters of every note in real time for more expressive instrumental performances.

Experiment with new devices

Hybrid Reverb
Hybrid Reverb combines convolution and algorithmic reverbs. Place your sounds in any space, from accurate real-life environments to those that defy physical reality. Use the algorithmic side to add control and modulate the reverb tail, run it in parallel or in series with the convolution side, or play Hybrid Reverb like an instrument for real-time sound design.

Spectral Resonator
Breaks the spectrum of an incoming audio signal into partials, then stretches, shifts and blurs the result by a frequency or a note in subtle or radical ways. The MIDI sidechain input also allows musicians to process material in key and even play the device as if it were a polyphonic instrument.

Spectral Time
Transforms sound into partials and feeds them into a frequency-based delay, resulting in metallic echoes, frequency-shifted and reverb-like effects. The Freeze function captures and holds a slice of audio – either free-running or in time with the beat – for stuttered, glitched and washed-out effects.

PitchLoop89
Create jittery glitch effects, delayed digital shimmers and outlandish vibrato with this Max for Live pitch shifting device created in collaboration with Robert Henke and inspired by the Publison DHM 89 – an early digital effects processor. It’s a flexible tool to add character to sounds in the studio, or for in-the-moment experimentation onstage.

Inspired by Nature
Six playful instruments and effects created in collaboration with Dillon Bastan that use natural and physical processes as their inspiration.

Do more on stage

Tempo Following
Live listens to and adjusts its tempo based on incoming audio in real time, making it a dynamic part of the band instead of the tempo source that everyone has to follow. When you DJ, you can even turn Live into a tempo-synced FX box.

Macro Snapshots
Store the state of your Macros for later recall – perfect for creating instant variations to your sounds or builds and drops during performance.

Rack improvements
Configure your Racks to have between 1 and 16 Macros. Randomize the state of your Macros with the randomization button. Map this control to MIDI and perform drastic changes in real time to surprise your audience and yourself.

Be unpredictable

Note chance
Set the probability that a note or drum hit will occur and let Live generate surprising variations to your patterns that change over time.

Velocity chance
Define ranges for velocity probability for subtle, humanized variations in the dynamics of your patterns.

Do more with Follow Actions
Follow Actions can now be linked to the clip length, making it faster to create interesting sequences of clips. Scene Follow Actions let you create evolving arrangements. You can also set Follow Actions to jump to specific clips and enable and disable Follow Actions globally.

Work with new sounds

New instruments
Created in collaboration with Spitfire Audio, these three Instrument Packs bring the dynamic chamber ensemble textures to any production.

11.0.10 Release Notes

New features and improvements

Arrangement View
It is now possible to solo tracks with the “S” key and arm tracks with the “C” key when take lane headers or automation lane headers are selected. Before, this was only possible when track headers were selected.

Pressing “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” while renaming an Arrangement clip now selects the next/previous clip on the same track or take lane.
When reaching the end when navigating with the “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” or Arrow Up/Down keys while renaming tracks or clips in the Session or Arrangement View, the navigation now cycles to the beginning or end of the tracks or clips, similar to using “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” when renaming scenes.
It is now possible to fold/unfold a track’s additional automation lanes with the left/right arrow keys when that track’s main automation lane is selected.

Clip View
When transposing an unwarped audio clip:
The time ruler below the waveform will change to show the accurate amount of seconds in the waveform.
The play position is preserved, causing smooth playback of the waveform and respecting scheduled Follow Actions.

Comping
When choosing a take lane for recording, Live now uses the first take lane that provides enough space. Before, Live used the take lane following the last take lane that did not provide enough space.
Previously, unnecessary splits might be created on an Arrangement track’s main lane, when dragging the split line of adjacent highlights on a take lane. Now the behavior when resizing adjacent take lane highlights is more consistent.
The vertical size of take lanes on linked tracks is now synced with a take lane that is being resized by dragging. The position of the dragged lane is sustained to keep the visible resized dragged lane visible and avoid jumping.

Control Surfaces
Added the following improvement to the functionality of User Remote Scripts:

Device Control:

  • Up to 16 encoders can be used for controlling Device Parameters
  • The Device Activator button can be controlled

Mixer Control:

  • An unlimited number of Tracks can be controlled
  • Track Mute, Solo and Selection can be controlled
  • The Crossfader and Cue/Preview Volume can be controlled

Transport Control:

  • Session Record, Arrangement Overdub, Metronome, Punch-In, Punch-Out, Nudge
  • Down, Nudge Up and Tap Tempo can be controlled

Follow Actions
When transposing an unwarped audio clip, the position of the Follow Action marker will change to keep in sync with the playhead and the actual beat-time of the Follow Action.

Interface
On Windows, if a UI element has the focus, its context menu can now be opened via the Menu key or “Shift”+”F10”.
On Windows, context menus shown when pressing “Shift”+”F10” more accurately represent what would be shown when right-clicking using the mouse.
When Sets are saved with the File menu’s “Save Live Set as Template…” or “Save Live Set as Default Set…” command, they are automatically self-contained in the same way as Sets that use the File Manager’s “Collect and Save” function.

The splitter between Live’s main window and the Help View can now be grabbed and adjusted at its full height.
Note names in Drum Rack pads are now displayed until no character fits at all. Standard note names are now displayed without the octave number if the full name does not fit.

Live now has improved performance in certain scenarios.

Max for Live
It is now possible to call select_notes_by_id on a Clip object in Max for Live, passing a list of note IDs. This will select only those notes that have the provided IDs.

MIDI Editing

Added the following changes to how velocity/probability values are displayed:

A MIDI note’s velocity/probability values are now displayed in the respective Velocity/Chance Editor’s lane header when hovering over its velocity/probability markers.

In Draw Mode, a note’s velocity/probability values are displayed when hovering over the area in which the drawing action is available for that note. If any notes are selected, only those note’s values can be displayed in the ruler, and hovering respects the quantization grid.

When drawing a velocity/probability ramp, the value range is displayed in the respective Velocity/Chance Editor’s lane header. If any notes are selected, only those note’s values can be displayed in the ruler, however hovering does not respect the quantization grid.

When adding a new note to a MIDI clip or reactivating a previously deactivated note, if the clip is playing and the playhead is within the new or deactivated note, the note will be played immediately.

MPE Editing
When the Note Expression tab is open, a “Clear All Envelopes” entry in the context menu of the MIDI Note Editor and per-note expression lanes clears all expression envelopes of one or multiple selected notes.

Stretching a MIDI note using the MIDI stretch markers in the MIDI Editor or the ÷2 and x2 buttons in the Notes tab will now cause any per-note expression belonging to that note to be stretched as well.

When sending notes to a plug-in device, external device, or Max for Live device that has MPE Mode enabled, reoccurring notes with the same note number will now reuse the same channel. This can result in more consistent behavior of multitimbral instruments.

MIDI track meters now indicate MPE per-note controller changes. The lowest dot in a meter lights up in a blue color if per-note controller changes pass that meter.

New Devices and Device Improvements
Plug-in devices that have MIDI outs and that have MPE enabled can now output MPE.

Spectral Time:

  • The Freeze Trigger LED in the Spectral Time device is now visible and flashes when Retrigger mode has Sync enabled

Wavetable:

  • When the transport is stopped, any hanging notes in the Wavetable device will now be stopped, as in other Live instruments

Session View
Making a selection (or multi-selection) using keyboard navigation in the Session View’s scene area now works as expected.
It is now possible to navigate to and rename the next/previous track using the “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” keys while renaming multiple selected tracks in the Session View. Previously, this only worked in the Arrangement View.

When resizing the Session View, the clip slot selection will stay in view as much as possible. When the selection is off-screen, resizing the Session View does not scroll to show it.

Pressing “Shift”+”Tab” now selects the previous clip while renaming a Session clip.

When renaming a Session clip, the “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” keys now skips empty clips slots.

When reaching the end when navigating with the “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” or Arrow Up/Down keys while renaming tracks or clips in the Session or Arrangement

View, the navigation now cycles to the beginning or end of the tracks or clips, similar to using “Tab”/”Shift”+”Tab” when renaming scenes.

Bugfixes

Arrangement View
Previously, reactivating a take lane selection when Draw Mode was enabled would create a flickering effect.
Previously, the automation control chooser is empty instead of showing “None” when loading a new Set and “Show Automated Parameters Only” is chosen. Also, clicking on the automation control chooser would not select the main automation lane header when “Show Automated Parameters Only” is chosen. These bugs have been fixed.

Previously, trying to resize multiple selected tracks via the resize handle of the last automation lane would resize the main automation lane instead.
Previously, certain elements (such as insert markers, the loop brace and fade handles) were drawn on top of the Single Track Back to Arrangement button.
Previously, the triangle icon in the Single Track Back to Arrangement button was cropped when the track was almost scrolled almost out of the visible Arrangement View. Now the triangle icon is only shown when it can be fully displayed.
Recording auto-quantization now applies to take lane clips as well as main lane clips.

Previously, the Arrangement View would abruptly scroll upwards after renaming a clip in a take lane at the bottom of the view. Instead, the clip’s take lane is now scrolled into view. Similarly, the clip’s main lane is now scrolled into view when renaming a main lane clip, whereas before, the entire track (including take lanes and automation lanes) was scrolled into view.

Clip View
In the Sample tab, typing arbitrary values into the Pitch control’s Transposition/Cents field now works as expected. Dragging the Transposition/Cents slider beyond the minimum/maximum pitch also now works as expected.

Control Surfaces
Mapping the Macro Variations selector to relative MIDI controllers now works as expected. A controller that sends high-resolution pitch bend can now be mapped to the scene selector and the snapshot selector.
The LEDs surrounding the encoders on the Novation Remote SL MkII once again provide feedback about the value of the controlled parameter.

Devices
Some Racks that only contain licensed Max for Live devices and were previously locked in certain editions of Live (such as the DS Drum Rack in Live Standard) are no longer locked.
Plug-in window titles now update when changing the name of the containing track. AU plug-in devices are now displayed as disabled if plug-in creation fails.
In order to prevent an issue with filter cutoff being reset on every note start in the TAL J-8 plug-in, the VST3 version of the plug-in is no longer loaded in MPE Mode by default. The VST2 version of the plug-in will still load in MPE Mode by default.

Arpeggiator:

  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when repeatedly adding and removing notes from a held chord when using the Arpeggiator device with the Hold parameter active

Collision:

  • Fixed a regression that resulted in missing parameters in the Collision device

Hybrid Reverb:

  • Previously, Live would crash when loading a one-sample length file into the Hybrid Reverb device and adjusting the Size parameter

Sampler
Previously, cropping a sample in the Sampler device would chop off the portion of the sample between the Release Loop Start and the Loop Start, if the Release Loop Mode was set to “Loop Back and Forth” and the Release Loop Start was before the Sample Start point.

Tension
The Filter LFO dropdown menu in the Tension device now appears as expected.

Interface Improvements
Fixed an incorrect error message that appeared when trying to insert a non-audio device into an Audio Effect Rack.
Corrected the Edit menu entry text for undoing a clip color change.

Fixed a crash that could occur when undoing in a Set that had previously been restored after another crash.
Previously, Live’s crash recovery would silently fail if the undo history contained an empty band file (e.g. after a power outage).
Under certain circumstances on macOS, audio/MIDI meters, the global transport time and other parameters would stop updating while editing parts of a Live

Set with the mouse or a trackpad.
Previously, when clicking on a half-hidden track header to select it, Live might sometimes copy or move the track.
Fixed a crash that occurred when freezing a track in a Live Set that contained an external MIDI instrument that was routing MIDI to a device in the Master track.
Previously, renaming did not work as expected when selecting a track header or take lane header and unselecting the cursor item using “CMD”+click (Mac) / “CTRL”+click (Win).
Fixed crashes and error messages pertaining to corrupt documents that occurred when loading some Live Sets.
Fixed crashes that occurred after deleting a device while a take lane clip has an envelope for that device.
Fixed a crash that occurred when renaming a take lane inside of a linked track and then pressing Tab.
Fixed document corruption and subsequent possible crashes or other issues when restoring a Set after a crash under certain circumstances.
Fixed the alignment of shortcut entries in Live’s context menus on macOS.

Link
Fixed a bug where Live would not accept tempo changes from Link peers in some cases.

Max for Live
Zooming Arrangement tracks via the Max for Live Application.View.zoom_view API function no longer breaks when multiple automation or take lanes are visible.

MIDI Editing
Pitch Bend, Sustain, Expression, Mod Wheel, and other MIDI controllers that one would expect to reset to a default value will now do so at the beginning of clips that do not specify them. (Note: for users who intentionally use the previous behavior, this change will make their Live Sets behave differently. Therefore, the behavior is disabled by default. The behavior can be enabled by checking the “MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset” entry in the Options menu.)
Improved Live’s performance when a very large amount of notes are visible in the Velocity or Chance Editor.
Previously, when changing note velocities or probabilities with the Arrow Up/Down keys, Live would not show the changed value when the mouse was hovering over the respective editor.
Previously, the MIDI Editor pitch grid might jump by one pixel when folded on tracks with a Drum Rack while Highlight Scales was disabled.
Fixed a bug that caused MIDI notes in a selected area to get deleted even if the notes themselves were not selected when pressing Delete.

MPE Editing
Fixed a bug where selecting or deselecting MIDI notes showed unexpected behavior or was not possible when the Note Expression tab was open and the MIDI Note Editor had Fold enabled.
Fixed a bug where the per-note breakpoint editor would not be focused when clicking on an expression curve in the Pressure or Slide lanes, when the Note Expression tab was visible.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when using MPE data with MIDI Effect Racks.
When the Note Expression tab is open and no note is selected, double-clicking on the Note Ruler now correctly zooms to all notes including their pitch-bend curves.
Fixed an issue where a note could have per-note events behind the note end when recording a transposed MIDI clip into the Arrangement.
In the unlikely event that an extremely high amount of MPE control change messages come in, Live will no longer crash, and all notes will be stopped.
Previously, when the Note Expression tab was open, moving the mouse from an unselected expression curve to a selected expression curve could cause the highlight to become stuck.
The Insert Time and Delete Time commands are no longer available when editing per-note expression breakpoints. Fixed a bug that could cause per-note expression to play incorrectly after a note-editing action resulted in an existing note becoming shortened.
Fixed an issue where undoing a per-note breakpoint editor change while the breakpoint editor was not open would not redraw the expression curves.
The Duplicate Time command is no longer available when editing per-note expression breakpoints. Fixed a bug where the Duplicate command would truncate the original note when duplicating the selected note while working in the per-note expression breakpoint editor.

Plug-ins
Fixed a crash that occurred when opening a Live Set that contained a plug-in with sidechain automation/modulation that could not be loaded.

Push
On Push 2, the Spectral Resonator device’s main bank parameter now correctly switches to Transpose when the sidechain mode is set to MIDI.
Fixed a crash that occurred when clicking on a parameter in Live and adjusting the same parameter using an encoder on Push at the same time.

Session View
Fixed a bug where mappings in MIDI/Key Map Mode were hidden by the scene number.
Navigating with the Tab key once again works as expected when renaming scenes.
Fixed a bug where Follow Actions were not scheduled as expected, under certain circumstances.
Fixed a crash that occurred when pressing the [Space] or [Tab] key after clicking on Track Status Display in Session View if a clip in Arrangement View was being played.

Setup
Previously, exporting audio might start single-threaded rendering before switching to multi-threaded rendering after a while. This could impact render performance significantly for Live Sets that benefit from multi-threaded rendering.
Improved shared Library folder setup when installing Live in multi-user environments.
The Library.cfg file in a shared Preferences folder now gets copied as expected when installing Live in a multi-user environment.
Fixed a crash that occurred in certain scenarios if two instances of Live were running at the same time.
