13x AURORA

An urgent fix, thanks to a user who sent a screen recording. Please update.

• Changing the slope of a Low Cut or High Cut no longer causes loud peaks. Switching the slope while your track played, for example from 24 to 30 dB/oct, could make Aurora's output jump to far above the level of your music for a moment. We measured peaks up to +25 dBFS from a signal at -12 dBFS, loud enough to hurt speakers and ears. Aurora 1.5 behaved the same way. Now the new slope fades in smoothly once it is ready, a fraction of a second after you pick it.
• Other changes during playback are smooth now, too. The same kind of jump could happen, less strongly, when you:
• changed a band's filter type or its stereo placement (Stereo, Left, Right, Mid, Side);
• switched between Zero Latency or Natural Phase and Linear Phase;
• changed a frequency in one big step, for example by typing a value, loading a preset or switching A/B;
• changed the Character setting (Clean, Subtle, Warm), also through a preset or A/B.

All of these now fade over to the new setting. Switching a band on or off fades too.

• Full screen opens in front of FL Studio's plug-in window. On a Mac, the full-screen spectrum could open behind FL Studio's floating plug-in window. It now opens in front.
• Safety net. If a broken value ever arrives from the host or appears inside Aurora, it is silenced instead of being passed on, and Aurora carries on playing normally.

Good to know: Some changes take effect a moment after you make them, because Aurora lets the new setting settle before it fades it in. That is usually a few hundredths of a second, and up to about a second for a Brickwall cut at a very low frequency.

Your sound doesn't change: with settings that stay as they are, Aurora 1.6.1 sounds exactly like 1.6.0. Projects and presets load unchanged.
