Looks like 3.0.1 is available, which apparently deals with the occasional volume spikes (anything divided by zero is infinite dB?) but it would be nice for the plugin to report the version number. My DAW and the KVR Studio Manager (and pluginval) are telling me that it's still 1.0.0. I think they're getting it from the moduleinfo.json file because when I change that myself it updates in the software.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

Sigh. I'm batting zero for plugin developers who give the slightest damn about this. I have hundreds of plugins. Having to load one and poke around to find the version gets tiring fast, especially when there is a way that's much easier.

:lol: Anyways, I do appreciate both the plugin you've made, your constant updates, and your presence here to talk about it. I'm going to go drink a beer and listen to some old music made before computers existed, back when I was a kid. And maybe there are some children on my lawn I can yell at. :drunk:

It's flattering but I don't have anything to do with this plugin. I'm not the developer... but the developer visited here for one (?) post. His name is Zack,or infinitedigits :)

I like it, but how do you make it not have a small fade in on the transients? Kinda ruining my amens lol

edit: god dammit you can't turn off time stretching, this is like, so important for jungle/dnb break editing. yea time stretch is apart of the sound but it absolutely ruins transients on breaks, it's crazy that you can't turn this off, just let us pitch things homie <3

There's a button called "preserve" - to preserve the pitch of the original sample, that is time stretching. just don't press it if you want old school pitching to change speed, or use it just for mellow stuff, not drums

With the latest version I'm getting huge volume spikes I didn't get before - previously I had a similar issue with incredibly loud white noise bursts. Unable to use it with any confidence at the moment.

And the licensing server is down.

Could you let the dev know? Hopefully the more reports he gets, the easier it will be to squash the bug once and for all.

Must be a Mac thing, maybe. Working pretty well for me on win 11.

Yeah I figured someone would reply with this, it actually time stretches the sample regardless of the state of this button. Not sure why, seems like preserve mode is a different time stretching algo or something. OR my copy is busted, cause it is definitely time-stretching my loops 100% of the time no matter what settings I choose.
