Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Updated to V4.

[dysjoint]

Weird behaviour with the Chorus here. After inserting on a track it produces an audio spike every 5-10 mins. Anyone else?

No, I have not experienced that as of yet but then I haven't used it in a project and I don't think I've had it up and running continuously for more than a couple of minutes.
What operating system are you running? I've been using it on Windows 11.

W11 vst 3 64 bit on Cubase Pro 13

Ok I'll test tomorrow to see if I can reproduce the issue although I don't own Cubase.

Confirmed here in Waveform 13.5

I would be happy to donate an upgrade price to support a company who is giving free updates so many years later. If there is a method, please share. We need this type of company to succeed.

The obvious answer to this is to look over their available line up and buy what you don't own.

Yes confirmed here in Waveform Pro and FL Studio and this time on Windows 10 as well so that pretty much rules out a system specific issue, and OS or the DAW as the culprit so I'd say it's 99.9% likely the plugin.

Certainly something that should be passed on to Nomad Factory.

I contacted Nomadfactory support regarding noise issues with the Blue Tubes Analog Chorus CH2S.
Nomadfactory acknowledged the noise occurrence as a bug and responded that they plan to release an improvement update soon.

Update

[Aloysius]

Their support is excellent. They really went out of their way to help me out with old licenses recently.

[syurin]

I tried the beta version of Blue Tubes Analog Chorus CH2S.
The noise issue had been fixed.
I expect the official version will be released soon.
NomadFactory is currently very helpful and works quickly.
I'm looking forward to the plugins they'll likely announce going forward.

I got an email from them about this update and that I could download from the homepage, but I don't have an account there as far as I know. Bought from DontCrack, but I can't remember when it was.
Edit: Forgot the question: how does one register what plugins you have, from before, when one makes a new account there?

I would start here and see how far you get - https://help.nomadfactory.com/faqs/f72- ... l-numbers/

Thanks, I will poke around there tomorrow.

Dear friends,

Thank you all for the great comments and testimonials shared above — they are truly appreciated.
The volume increase at 4x oversampling that some of you reported in this thread (and a few others) helped us quickly identify the issue.

This problem has now been fixed in Blue Tubes v4.0.1. However, please note that Compressor CP2S, Limiter LM2S, and the compressor section of Analog TrackBox may sound slightly different (and hopefully better) when running at 4x oversampling or higher in this new version. If you are currently working on a mix, you may want to review the settings of these plugins before exporting your final mix.

Based on helpful user feedback, here are the changes included in Blue Tubes v4.0.1:

• Fixed an issue where the Chorus could produce random clicks
• Fixed Compressor CP2S, Limiter LM2S, and Analog TrackBox’s compressor section producing incorrect gain reduction at 4x oversampling and higher
• Fixed the Phaser and Chorus LFOs remaining static in BPM-sync mode when the host was not playing
• Changed the Analog TrackBox default oversampling from 1x to 4x
• Updated the VST3 and AAX categories for Valve Driver, Oilcan Echo, and Analog TrackBox

We will publish an official announcement for this update shortly, but since the KVR community helped us identify and resolve these issues, I wanted to share the update here first.
Thanks again, everyone!

Thank you so much for keeping the Nomad Factory plugins alive and providing the recent upgrades for free to customers with legacy licenses.

I'm loving the new Analog Trackbox v4 so I'll be sure to check the previous version against 4.0.1 but I assume it will sound just as awesome if not more.

One thing I would like to bring up is the fact that all plugins in a collection share the same GUI size and Skin settings.

It would be nice if each individual plugin could have their own GUI size. Some plugins benefit from larger sizes while others only need smaller sizes to be efficient. The British and Blue Tubes bundles are good examples.

For the Plug and Mix bundle it would be nice for some plugins to have their original skins and some others the great new red and black scheme.

Certainly not a critical issue but something I felt compelled to mention if it's something that could be made to happen without a lot of work.

Thanks for the updates/fixes and communication. Bernie was a good man, and it's heartening to see his work and spirit carried on.

Hey Teksonik, thanks !

We are working on a preference to allow users to set GUI sizes individually if they prefer.

The P&M original skins resolution were too low to use them. We tried to keep the spirit on the "classic" skins...

Thank you !

Ok thanks, that's great news!

Sorry, my bad. I used the word "original" when I really meant the new classic skins. I prefer the new classic skins for some of the P&M plugins and the new black and red scheme for others (some of the classic skins can be a bit too colorful for my taste).

Again not a huge deal but it would be nice to pick and choose skins rather than having the whole collection be either one or the other (if it's not too much trouble).

While we have you here if I may, what does the road map look like for the other plugins in the Nomad Factory line up? I won't ask for a timeline but just an general idea of the planned order would be nice.

I know there was talk of MFX Magma being in the upgrade plans so I'd be very excited to see that happen. I have a valid legacy key so would be more than happy to help with testing once again.
