by Hermann Meyer

Guitarix.vst is the full blown guitarix stack as VST3 plugin for Linux, using Juce to wrap the guitarix engine into a VST3 plugin. It allow to load/save your presets, download presets from online and load external LV2 plugs and IR Files, like the guitarix stand-alone version. But all that as a VST3 plugin in your DAW. All parameters been exposed to the DAW, so accessible for automation. Other than the stand-alone, the VST3 version allows to switch the input to a real stereo input, so it may match better your channel strip in the DAW. For Hdpi users, the GUI is full scalable. ![guitarix.vst](https://i.imgur.com/UlezG8n.png) This release fix a issue with startup sequence in Ardour.

It also introduce support for the [Neural Amp Modeler](https://github.com/sdatkinson/NeuralAmpModelerCore) so it's now possible to load *.nam files into a modeler module. Attached binary package [Guitarix.vst3.zip](https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix.vst/releases/downl… is a x86-64 Linux binary.

by Stefan Westerfeld

Hi! audiowmark-0.6.2 is now available at https://uplex.de/audiowmark Overview of Changes in audiowmark-0.6.2: * improved robustness of the watermark detection a lot for many cases * improved handling if more than one key needs to be used for detection - support using --key multiple times for audiowmark get - support naming watermark keys (key name defaults to filename) - extend JSON and regular output to report key name for matches * merge architecture documentation for developers written by Tim Janik (#49) * support RF64 output (--output-format rf64) for huge wav files (#30, #2) * use hann window function to improve robustness/quality for some files (#48) * fix building against zita-resampler installed in non-standard location (#39) * replace sprintf with string_printf: sprintf is deprecated on macOS (#33) * fix build errors related to PRNG on new clang compilers (#29) * fix problems in videowmark due to command line option ordering (#23) audiowmark is an open source solution (GPL3 or later) for watermarking audio files. It has many features, it is robust, fast, secure and of course we believe that the watermark is not audible for most users. The project page provides the documentation and source code as well as some audio demos, so you can check whether you hear a difference between original and watermarked files. Cu...
