Bremmers Audio Design has released version
10.3 of MultitrackStudio for Windows and macOS. The user
interface has been improved to make working with
MultitrackStudio faster and smoother.
Changes:
User interface has been refreshed.
Preferences window has Layout setting with
Desktop/Laptop/Classic/Custom options.
Mixer sections can now have 3, 4, 5 or 6 effect slots (the 4
and 5 options have been added).
Small buttons are larger.
Preferences window has Name Width setting to control width
of track name boxes.
Track editors can now be opened by clicking the Editor
Preview pane.
Audio editor data appears much faster. It also works better
with looping.
The level meters are now between the Rec buttons and the
faders.
You can now right click a meter to change its size (Small /
Large / Huge).
Effect/Instrument slots now show the first 4 or 5 characters
of the plugin name instead of "VST" etc.
Effect Bypass buttons can be toggled by clicking the bottom
left corner of the effect slot.
On larger screens the transport controls are in the middle
instead of on the right, so they're closer to the track Rec
buttons etc.
The current value of knobs (and faders) appears above the
knob rather than below, so they're no longer covered by a
mouse pointer, pencil or hand while moving the knob.
You can use Click...Shift+Click to toggle buttons on a range
of mixer sections. Applies to Play, Rec, Mute, Edit and
Collapse buttons and the Editor Preview panes.
Some names changes: "Cycling" is now "Looping", "Content
Panes" are now "Editor Preview panes", "VST Scaling (ugly) "
is now "Plugin Scaling (blurry) ".
Windows: VST plugins can be scaled individually, so you
don't have to use the "Plugin Scaling (blurry) " option from
the Preferences window.
Windows 11: updated menus, fixed some missing round window
corners.
Windows: now requires Windows 7 or newer.
Improved VST3 window resizing.
Compressor: curve and history displays more accurately
represent what's going on for Vintage and Vintage Warm
programs.
Audio track data that appears on the Overview Bar while
scrolling editors now takes the track editor's vertical zoom
setting into account.
MultitrackStudio Remote: audio track data that appears
during rewind/FF now takes the track editor's vertical zoom
setting into account.
The Loop button is now disengaged automatically if it was
engaged automatically. This happens when you've used
Alt+draw to define the loop region, and when you've pressed
F6 to play the selected part of an editor.
Added L+Left/Right keyboard shortcut to go to loop start/end
point.
Editor right click menus now have 'Play Looping' (F6) option
to loop selected part.
Overview Bar / Grid Bar: Removed the 'click-and-drag' way of
loop region selection (nobody liked it).
Overview Bar / Grid Bar: Drawing loop range with Alt (or L)
modifier now also works outside the thumb. And it can now be
used while tracksport is running.
Overview Bar / Grid Bar: Double click to start now also
works outside the thumb.
Overview Bar shows the current editor view area while the
editors are scrolling horizontally.
Pianoroll: step recording works a bit different:
Ctrl/Cmd=add note, Shift=add rest, Alt=reverse direction.
Some keyboard shortcuts / mouse modifier keys changes to
make them easier to memorize ('A'=All, 'C'=same Color,
'L'=Loop).
Dropping MIDI files with SysEx-only streams on editors works
better.
MIDI file import: markers are ignored if there are more than
20.
Fixed some VST3 and LV2 plugin bugs.
Fixed: Matrix Keyboard produced notes with extremely low
velocity.
Fixed: MultitrackStudio Instruments: "Strength" knobs didn't
work.
Many other small improvements and fixes.
