yes, we should be careful by using such tools made by vibecoding...i always use a limiter on master at first try.El°HYM wrote: Sun Jun 14, 2026 7:57 pm Has the typical vibe coded aesthetics which seem en vogue now. No problem with that, if the tools are useful and euclidean is always something that interests me. There is also a lite version of this btw. https://transwarp.me/free

oh my god, this is VERY exciting.ruralaudio wrote: Sun Jun 14, 2026 8:11 pm The first plugins from Tokyo Dawn Records have been released for Linux, they even made an installer: https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-collector/
Installer works flawless.
Plugin:
Prism has an in-plugin delay of around 1.5 seconds, when use different EQ modes and Settings.
I used the Limiter No.6 very often with a different skin.

I've been in contact with this developer, and he is building a Linux version and will drop copy protection for Linux users. This plugin is simple, but has a unique character all of its own. This is one to watch!

Sadly we don't know what Mixing-EQ-Consol it is imitating.
Needs a Mail but you get the Link anyways.

When he messaged me about it, he seems pretty certain of it. He told me I can go ahead and spread the news.NWSM wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 4:43 pmSo, maybe we get STRÄNG on Linux then =)audiojunkie wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 4:33 pm I've been in contact with this developer, and he is building a Linux version and will drop copy protection for Linux users.

The previous number of unreported Plugins had probably already reached 1,000 but Developers of our World broke the 1000 Plugins mark, more or less official.

Yea I didn’t look through the site. They are affiliated somehow with this guy too I guess. :NWSM wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 4:38 pmViolet Crown - stereo channel Strip with Charakter also free.pekbro wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 5:48 am Free Limiter, pretty nice...

Went to https://amadeuspaulussen.com/info/gear to see if he was rocking any new
ins, and he has more unfiltered audio betas on his gear list:
Dent 2 (Beta)
Fault (Beta)
Indent 2 (Beta)
Sandman Pro (Beta)
SpecOps (Beta)
I don't see them publicly available anywhere.
Also, on their individual plugin pages I see that plugin alliance is needed for activation (at least currently, for windows and mac). I have never used pa before, I wonder how that plays out for us.

ooh, that's interesting... obviously they're working on linux versions (battlefx etc) but kind of assumed it would be the more recent plugs (needlepoint, lofiaf etc), not old ones like this list (which I all still use with yabridge).

Unfiltered Audio did mention getting their own authorization server in place for resilience so maybe we won't need PA going forward (battlefx doesn't need PA to authorise). Hopefully all my PA licenses can be migrated if this is the way it goes.

IMHO it's a step back. PA can be activated to a USB stick for future offline activations. UA's implementation requires an internet connection to activate, so it's not as future-proof.
I have most of their plugins via PA and having them on Linux would be great but I just won't deal with online activation anymore.
