Celemony has released new versions of Melodyne Studio and Melodyne cre8. With version 3.2.2 both programs are now compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Leopard). All problems related to the use of ReWire and the MelodyneBridge have been solved. Overall performance (176.4 kHz compatibility) and stability of Melodyne is improved and a solution to avoid problems when using the Spot-to-Pro-Tools feature with Pro Tools version 7.4 is included.

DDMF has released version 1.0 of its tracking equalizer IIEQPro as a Universal Binary Audio Unit for the Mac OS X platform. It features 10 bands with 12 filter types per band and is fully parametric.

At the same time the Windows version has been updated to 1.3, as the whole thing is now based on JUCE. Specifically the control behaviour has changed a bit; in most hosts it is possible to enter values directly, and you can switch into velocity-sensitive mode for fine tuning. A number of presets have been included and mouse wheel support has been added.

The price is still "whatever-you-feel-appropriate".
