New version 2.410
Old version 2.400
Release Notes • Audio Units with more than one output can now feed separate tracks. A plug-in's extra outputs — ReStem's individual drum stems, for example — appear in a track's input menu under "Plug-in Outputs", and choosing one sets up the routing for you. • Fixed MIDI tracks slowly drifting out of time over the course of a long playback. • Realtime quantize now places notes correctly when a plug-in that reports latency is loaded. • Fixed crashes on iPadOS 26, including when using Undo and when Auria analysed a region's transients. • Restore Purchases no longer reports success while restoring nothing. • Auria no longer stops saving permanently if its project folder has been moved or deleted. • Fixed a burst of noise in the master output on play and stop when a plug-in reports a large latency. • Delay compensation fixes: tracks fed from a bus or from a plug-in output now line up with the rest of the mix, bypassing an Audio Unit updates compensation straight away, and the playhead follows what you hear. • Recordings made through a subgroup are now placed at the correct position. • Scrubbing follows your finger accurately again, and no longer goes silent when a plug-in with latency is loaded. • Fixed a crash in Drumagog when its kit files are missing. • Various stability fixes, including a rare crash when plug-in latency changes during playback.
