Other changes

  • Major workspace redesign covering transport, the toolbar, track headers, the inspector and mixer channel strips. Shared controls now have a consistent presentation across the application.
  • A compact plugin header brings together bypass, the plugin name, automation and sidechain selection. It uses less vertical space and matches the application interface.
  • Insert and send sections now share a consistent add-area layout. Sends have a dedicated routing icon, with destination, level and PRE / POST controls available in both mixer and inspector.
  • Channel strips have been reorganized to adapt to the available space, grouping inputs, outputs, effects, level and pan controls more clearly.
  • Plugin search and presentation have been improved, along with browser library handling and drag-and-drop into projects.
  • Recording work has been streamlined by reducing repeated WAV decoding, audio-graph rebuilds after stopping and unnecessary timeline repainting. Undo snapshots share data to reduce memory duplication.
  • Russian translations cover the new features and controls. This Windows build ships without collaboration; local projects and normal audio routing remain available.

Bug fixes

  • Normalize in the inspector now updates the visible timeline waveform. Drawing uses the clip’s processed audio instead of the source file’s peaks, including correct on/off and undo / redo behavior.
  • Processing one clip keeps the source envelope and other copies of the same file independent. Prepared peaks refresh after processing without decoding audio during painting.
  • Multi-source sidechain selections now persist and restore consistently, with compatibility for older projects containing a single source.
  • Clip-library search, Delete and drag-and-drop interactions have been corrected so library actions do not accidentally affect the source timeline clip.
  • During a new take, earlier clips’ effects on the recording track are removed from the running audio graph. Their state and open editors are preserved after recording.
  • Auto Strip Silence results for multitrack recording are published consistently, avoiding a separate graph rebuild for every completed track.
  • Processed waveform display has been corrected for GPU rendering and different interface scales. Undoing and reapplying Normalize restores the corresponding clip image.
