Was using this on my older PC. Really liked the effect it had on certain acoustic tracks. Just updated my PC, which also updated the OS to Windows 11. Still using the same DAW (Waveform 12), but it doesn't seem to install now.

Anything else out there that offers a similar effect to emphasis (https://www.kvraudio.com/product/emphas ... lity-audio)?

Thanks

It installed here on Win 11, works using Reaper.
ABX is enemy to GAS

It says refining certain frequency bands, which I'm not sure what it means.. Maybe some kind of exciter, harmonics enhancer.
The free stuff that might be in that ballpark, there is the Slate FreshEQ which is nice for brigthening stuff up.
If you can snatch the Apogee Soft Limit somewhere, also free and delicious on everything..

No idea what precisely that plugin does, but this looks vaguely similar to me and is free: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/onekno ... art-studio

If that isn’t close, could you maybe give some details on what that plugin has been doing to your tracks?

Okay, so it must be something on Windows, 'cause Reaper also isn't installing the plugin.

Thank you! Will do.

And just tried to reinstall, and the exact message Waveform is giving me is "failed to load."
