It’s certainly been a long winter, but we’re kicking off our summer season with the first London Acoustics sale this year, offering a whopping 30% off all plugins until July 16, 2023. So go on, fill your boots with the entire London Acoustics range of audio plugins! What could be better than owning our acclaimed range of tools to help you at every stage of the production process?
We’ll let you in on a little (not so secret) secret too: ARM processor compatibility is incoming for all the plugins that don’t have it yet, so not long to go at all. All updates are free for the lifetime of the plugins.
Verona has now been updated for compatibility with Apple M1 ARM processors. The update also includes updates to the algorithm for oversampling and improved sound quality.
Our Taipei Studio Tape Recorder plugin is finally receiving a well deserved update to Taipei Rev. B. This revision brings in Apple M processor compatibility as well as some bug fixes.
Yesterday, 25th August, we launched our new TAIPEI Studio Tape Recorder plugin, brimming with excitement to see the public reaction to what we feel is our best feat of plugin engineering yet. Murphy crept up on us and kicked us solidly in the balls.
The early adopters quickly reported that their DAW was crashing upon loading TAIPEI.
TAIPEI Studio Tape Recorder was in beta testing for weeks prior to launch, with all manner of issues fixed by our team, though there was one little oversight to do with N4 commercial that caused this failure to load. Our beta testers are all using a beta-version of N4, with all the latest updates. Unfortunately the public version of N4 is still dated 20th October 2020 (!) and doesn’t contain the necessary upgrades to sucessfully host TAIPEI. At least, not until they releast the update.
N4 Player (the free version) works fine as it was updated in August ’21.
The fix
We’ve fixed the incompatibilities with N4 commercial from within TAIPEI and released the 2.0 update today, 26 August. Once N4 commercial is updated we will then reintroduce the functions to TAIPEI.
If you bought TAIPEI on 25 August
You simply need to update TAIPEI to the latest version using the Aquarius application.
If you’re buying TAIPEI on or after 26 August 2021
You’re good to go! You don’t need to do anything special, the version you purchase will be the latest version.
Sunshine is a wonderful thing! We’ve been experiencing some heat over here and this boost in vitamin D, while giving us a spring in our step, has also made us decidedly kinder. As such, you can now get 30% off all of our plugins until the 27th of June.
Tube shootout video alert! Youtuber Poul Third asks the important question: “What does a tube eq sound like and can we recreate a tube sound in audio plugins / music production software?” In an episode of his “Mixing Wednesdays”, Paul compares three prominent tube EQ plugins, including Acustica Audio‘s Cobalt, Tone Empire‘s Black Q2 and our very own Verona Tube Console in his extensive tube shootout video.
We received news of a full album being released that used London Acoustics plugins almost exclusively. Italian producer Dropout’s new post-electronica album, “Memories From a Distant Future” is an 8-track conceptual album that delves into the themes of fear and relief, examining the difference between our dreams and our realities.
This time it deserves a somewhat longer and more personal message. It’s been a rough one, 2020. This year was a year of drastic change in both lifestyle and expectations, in a short space of time. Although we have always known that change is inevitable – perhaps even prided ourselves at being adept at it – we have to admit that this year caught us a little underprepared.
We’re getting into the festive spirit by offering you 20% off all London Acoustics plugins until January 7, 2020. Thank you for your support throughout 2019 – it’s been a great year. To see in the New Year you can now get:
