Surely if you render the track with Final mix on it you can workaround that...no?

edit: the soft clip makes a big difference, but appartently not the rest

Mine releases the CPU. I'm 100% sure I just tested it. Maybe you picked a preset that didnt use much CPU so you couldnt notice the drop. I just tryed it on a track and on the Master bus, they both relese.

- I switched everything off - one button after the other - 'soft clip' is the only one that makes a change - even the 'active' button doesn't release the cpu

Come on, use it as a track plug? What the hell for?

To watch the CPU bar turn red? Same reason I have multiple z3tas running.

I have a feeling it's called Final Mix for a reason

No final Mix plug appears in my version. Yes, I am on a PC.

I have downloaded the full 1.6.0.1 version twice and installed it twice. No luck.

What could I be doing wrong?

I installed it into a new Tracktion folder named Tracktion 1.6.0.1 rather than overwriting the prior version.

Is it supposed to show up in the plug-in tree?

Never mind. I figured it out.

Because I put new versions in new folders named the same as the version number, and Tracktion is looking for native plugins in a folder named Tracktion, it wasn't finding the new native plugs.

Yeah theres some nice guitar and vox presets. And even a nice phone preset. Although I sure as hell wouldnt use that plug just to make something sound like a phone

yes, you can use it for a lot of things and some of the presets suggest it.

This is because you can use it in a lot of ways:

- twelve band eq
- single band compressor
- single band compressor with pre/post eq
- dual band compressor
- dual band compressor with pre/post eq
- three band compressor
- soft clip limiter

etc.

all the modules sound really great so if the cpu would get released when you switch some of them of
you could use it easily as a track-plugin for many
applications.

But like it is it just uses too much cpu

I dont get a little detail in final mix... When you pull up the key volume, thats more like the "line in" right? Then you change the actual end volume by adjusting gain in the compressors. Right?

It seems different than how ozone works, in the gui sense right?
