Mixbus 2.1

New Features (all platforms):
• Freesound import.
• Soundcloud export.
• Metadata editor.
• Hold “Alt” to override mix-groups for fader/mute.
• Reworked region fades and crossfade shapes, including re-adding the constant-power crossfade and setting it to
default when a crossfade is created with Automatic Crossfades engaged.
• Mixbus can utilize the (optional 3rd-party) ArdourXchange plugin to load AAF and OMF session files.

Improvements & Fixes (all platforms):
• File “tags” are now correctly saved and recalled.
• LADSPA and VST plugin user presets are now saved/recalled.
• Session is now marked “dirty” when a plugin GUI is manipulated. This should fix some reports of plugins that don’t
save/recall their state.
• Automation and gain lines are now thicker and easier to see when editing.
• When no track is selected in the editor, the Master bus will be shown on the left.
• Removed “advanced options” from the New Session dialog.
• Consolidate and Bounce functions “with processing” are removed to avoid confusion; these can’t work in Mixbus.
• Fixed keybindings for setting region fade in/out length.
• Changed fader scale so mouse stays within mixer window.
• Re-added meter to import window auditioner.
• Automation thinning was much too aggressive on low-level fader moves. This has been fixed.
• Improved export dialog is much easier for new users to set up.
• Fixed crash caused by 2 tracks with fader automation in a mix group.
• Faders move in realtime when playing back automation (fixes a bug introduced in 2.0.7)
• Post-fader plugin output is no no longer muted when the fader is set at -inf.
• Fixed a bug that caused crashes when opening sessions with plugin sliders attached to nonexistent plugins.
• Fixed an automation editing bug that caused “sawtooth” automation to be created unexpectedly.
• Fix crash when user releases a touched control after transport is stopped.
• Several other fixes to realtime automation and graphical automation editing.

Windows-specific changes:
• VSTplugins are now sent correct transport position and state (fixes plugins with transport )
• Improved CPU performance with VST plugins.
• Shell ( Waves ) plugins can now be loaded without using shell2vst.
• Canceling an “export” will no longer cause the transport to become unresponsive.

OSX-specific changes:
• Fix for AU plugin window locations: when hidden, plugin windows are now more likely to re-appear where you last
had them.
• On systems with a specific monitor setup, the plugin window and container would be separated onto 2 different
monitors. This has been fixed.
• Some versions of Apple AU plugins would not allow mouse to control parameters. This is fixed.
• Fix for AU plugins that “lost” the right channel output, among other issues.
• Removed dependence on X11 libs which caused a failure to launch on systems that were mysteriously missing
these system libs.

Linux-specific changes:
• Mixbus will now look in usr/lib64 for LV2 plugins on a 64bit system.
• LV2 plugin windows will no longer disappear when tracks are selected & deselected.
