Ongcat Audio Technologies has announced today that they updated H3D, their 3D audio binaural plugin for Digital Audio Workstations, to version 1.1.2 on Windows and Mac OS X. This update adds ProTools (RTAS) support on Windows and and Mac OS X, supports samplerates up to 192kHz, enhances the H3D process transparency, and fixes general stability issues for both platforms.

Aimed at musicians, sound designers or podcasts producers, Longcat's H3D inserts in major audio software (such as ProTools, Logic Pro, Digital Performer, Cubase, Live, Pyramix or Reaper), and allows the user to create immersive 3D mixes for headphones, by visually animating a large number of audio tracks in a full-3D interface.

This library was born out of the want for a down and dirty guitar lib – one that can be loaded, and used quickly – no fuss, no hassle. And one that has a very small RAM footprint. Perfect for creating intricate guitar parts with alot of movement, or just doing simple sketches.

The Down & Dirty & Clean Guitar lib consists of two sections: distorted (mic'd w/amp), and clean. Both sections are mirrors of one another; both have single notes, and chords. The notes are 2 velocity layers, and either mono and round robin x2, or stereo, split l/r. 4+ octaves are covered – from the low B0, up to the highest E5. The chords as well are 2 velocity layers, and either mono and round robin x2, or stereo, split l/r. They cover an octave and a half, starting at the low B0, and working up to Eb2. Chords have two strumming patterns – fast and slow, and are both major and minor.

Celemony's new music restoration program Capstan is now available, a demo version online. Capstan removes wow and flutter from musical material of all kinds and commends itself therefore to professional restoration and mastering studios. The program runs as a stand-alone application under Windows and Mac OS and supports all common two-track formats.

Capstan is capable of removing wow and flutter from musical recordings – whether on tape, compact cassette, wax, shellac or vinyl. Capstan detects wow and flutter by analyzing the musical material itself, so the medium is of no relevance. In this, Capstan is clearly superior to solutions such as bias tracking, because Capstan still works even if the tape has already been copied several times or digitized only in low resolution.
