Initial Audio have releases SourceLab 2.0, currently available for $119.00, (usually $169.00).
What’s new in version 2.1.1:
- Preset Generator Enhancements: The AI-driven generator has been tuned for more diverse results while staying strictly relevant to your chosen category (e.g., Bass, Leads, Pads).
- Browser “Randomizer” Button: A new Dice icon has been added to the content browsers. Clicking it selects random content that fits the context of your current preset, allowing for instant remixing of sounds.
- Unison Comb Warp Filter: A new creative filter type that includes a “warp” control to stretch or compress the filter’s frequency response.
- Audio Reactive Animations: For skin designers, the Skin Editor now includes an audio-reactive component with 11 animation types and 10 color themes to make your custom UI move to the music.
- Workflow UI Buttons: Added “Previous” and “Next” buttons for filter types so you can cycle through them quickly without opening the dropdown menu every time.
- Skin Editor Updates
- Level Meters: You can now add functional level meters to your custom plugin designs.
- Layer Management: A new “Send to Back” option for components ensures background elements don’t overlap your knobs or buttons.
- Skin Selection Menu: You can now swap between your custom skins directly from the Main Menu (top left) without diving into settings.
- Bug Fixes
- Resolved an issue where the close button could be hidden behind other components in the Skin Editor.
- Fixed a graphical glitch where cables would not redraw correctly when scrolling through sound sources.
