2026.8.1 — 2026-07-28

Surround and ambisonic WAV export: bounce the mix or stems to 5.1, 7.1.4, or AmbiX (first-order, ACN/SN3D) alongside stereo. The export panel shows the exact channel order it writes.
Spatialization: choose how mono and stereo layers fill a surround export. Off conforms only; Pure places them by routing alone, leaving the source untouched; Extended adds frequency-dependent width and a decorrelated halo. Multichannel sources always conform by role.
Multichannel sources are read correctly: per-file channel layout detection (quad, 5.0, LCR, 5.1, 7.1, 7.1.4, ambisonic), a Channel order setting for files that carry no channel map, and a per-file or per-palette override where detection cannot resolve one.
Multi-mono sets recognised: Rain.L / Rain.R / Rain.C and the like are grouped as a single source, so two channels of the same recording are never laid up as separate layers.
AAF now passes through any source channel count, with proper immersive channel names.
Loudness normalisation on export: bounce the mix at -14, -16, -18, or -23 LUFS, measured to broadcast standard.
Many fixes and polish: click-free transport, pitch variation on Fills, correct pitch in exported AAF, and assorted stability fixes.

Now on Windows – a native Windows build alongside macOS.
Bed: a new event shape for fixed background material. Drop your own files, set per-layer looping, and it conforms to a scene via the Fill engine.
Bounce to Clip: freeze any selection – even overlapping events across tracks – into one audio clip, in place. Revert to Source turns it back into the original events at any time.
Scene backgrounds reworked: a unified chooser to set a Fill (library-driven) or Bed (your own files) background per scene, multiple layered backgrounds, and drag audio straight onto a scene.
Mixer fader levels (FX A, FX B, BG, Ref, Master) now save with each project; a new project starts at unity.
File relinking: moved or renamed source files heal automatically by content, and anything truly missing is surfaced in the Library.
Master WAV export now includes reverb when it is on – a faithful print of what you hear. Cleaner export folders (a single mixdown no longer creates a wrapper folder), project-based file naming, and the AAF is named after the project.
DAW-style clip fade editing with smooth, anti-aliased fades.
Many fixes and polish: consistent background levels right up to the scene boundary, more reliable settings persistence on quit, and assorted stability and crash fixes.

First public release.
Meta-DAW for film sound design: specify intent – spectral weight, intensity, keywords, picture-derived timing – and it assembles layered, frame-accurate sound from your own library.
Four event shapes: Spot, Bloom, Contour, Fill.
Deterministic engine – no ML, no dataset, no bundled sounds. Every sample is your own, untouched.
Deconfliction: automatic timing, spectral, and density separation across a busy timeline, steered by hero priority.
Trace: reads light and motion from video, or imports Pro Tools markers, for fast event placement.
32-bit float internal, 24-bit BWF export. Algorithmic (FDN) reverb, exportable as a wet stem.
AAF export (handles, clip gain, automation, markers, bus-based track layout) and WAV stems for Pro Tools, Nuendo, or any AAF-compatible DAW.
Self-hosted licensing: online or offline activation, two machines, perpetual. Runs fully offline.
