Any news about the audio unit status ?

Yes we have good news: as you can see below they are up and running in our lab. You can expect a first public beta very soon...

great news

i've tried Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi under bootcamp and hey, this is what i'm searching for a long time

i really hope that this one is available as an audio unit version very soon.

also the other plug ins looks very intresting, too.

First off, thanks very much for making these AU

Just doing some testing in LE 8.0.2. I get the following error from the AU validator for all of the "(Mono)" plugs. If I force enable them, they seem to be fine, so probably just a nitpick on the part of the Tool.

Thanks again!

same problem here (also with logic pro 8.0.2).

the stereo versions seams to be ok

Thanks for your feedback. This is indeed something we missed. It will be fixed for next beta (we already have a fix for it).

Hosts seem be be ok with it: it's just that the auval tool checks the default format that was actually set to stereo, even for mono plugins...

Blue Cat Audio · Post by **Blue Cat Audio** » Tue Nov 25, 2008 8:49 pm

A new version in now online. It should fix the validation issue for mono plugins.
