# Changelog

## 1.3.1

- Added offline authorization for machines that can't reach the internet.
  Look for "Can't connect? Activate offline" on the license screen.

## 1.3.0

- Fixed a second MDA Sum landing on the same Bus as the first one. Both Sums
  read the same Sends, but each Send only ever followed one of them — so one
  Sum's controls quietly did nothing, and which Sum that was could change when
  you reopened the project. A new Sum now picks a free Bus automatically, and
  if two Sums do end up sharing one, the connection panel says which Sum is in
  control and offers to move the other to a free Bus.

## 1.2.2

- Fixed a Cubase/Nuendo hang that could occur when removing the final VST3 instance.
- Fixed license activation retries after closing an instance during a background request.

## 1.1.1

- Added a simpler default Cohesion panel to MDA Send: one **Sum Drive** knob
  with a focused 50-100% range. The **Advanced** toggle reveals the separate
  0-100% Dry/Wet and Send to Sum controls; with Advanced off, Dry/Wet stays
  fully wet.
- Added "Dry/Wet" and "Send to Sum" to the Send editor's new Cohesion band.
  Dry/Wet fades this track's own local compression toward dry, and only
  matters while the Sum's Cohesion knob leans Independent. Send to Sum is
  its mirror image: it fades how much the Sum's shared decision reaches (and
  is shaped by) this track, and only matters while Cohesion leans Joined.
  Together they let every track sit anywhere on that spectrum on its own,
  regardless of the Sum's one global Cohesion setting. Both default to 100%,
  so nothing changes unless you turn them down.

## 1.0.10

- Fixed a case where a Send's tile on the Sum's connection panel could
  freeze permanently (stop showing activity) even though that Send kept
  compressing normally, seen with busier Cubase routings.
- Fixed the "Fix Now" button on the Send's Bus Mismatch alert not actually
  fixing the bus.
- The Send now shows which "Send N" number the Sum's connection panel is
  using for it, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

## 1.0.9

- Fixed the Sum's connection-panel meters (and the Null test) freezing in
  place after a few seconds of playback in Pro Tools. Pro Tools' own
  "Dynamic Plug-In Processing" power-saving feature was pausing MDA Sum
  since it doesn't produce audio itself; MDA now tells Pro Tools to keep it
  running.

## 1.0.8

- Fixed a Bitwig routing case where moving an MDA Send before or after a
  latency-producing plugin with an external sidechain could make the track
  jump louder. Sends now stay gain-controlled while Bitwig rearranges plugin
  timing instead of briefly falling back to uncompressed audio.

## 1.0.7

- Fixed a rare case where a Send could stop compressing entirely if its track
  had certain other routing active (seen with an internal sidechain send to
  another plugin, on Cubase). The track's meters and compression now recover
  gracefully instead of getting stuck.

## 1.0.6

- Fixed a Sum connection-panel bug where a Send's tile could briefly flash
  into a "disconnected" look on a harmless blip (e.g. a host session-reload
  handoff), even though it was still fully connected.
- Fixed the per-Send Gain Reduction reading on the Sum sometimes freezing in
  place instead of updating live, when that track wasn't actively being
  processed at that instant.

## 1.0.5

- Added Lag to MDA Sum — delays how quickly compression clamps down after a
  transient, so the very start of a hit can punch through cleanly before the
  gain reduction catches up. Shared across every connected Send, up to 200 ms.
- Cohesion now has its own larger knob instead of sharing a row with Makeup,
  Mix, and LR Link.
- The "In" reading on each of the Sum's Send tiles is now a scrolling level
  trace instead of a plain bar.
- Refreshed the look of both plugins.
- Fixed a bug where duplicating an MDA Send track could make the original
  permanently vanish from the Sum's meters.
- MDA now supports up to 15 connected Sum/Send instances per session (was 16).

## 1.0.4

- Fixed an issue where MDA could load but do nothing in Cubase, with no
  audible compression. Sum and Send were being put to sleep by one of
  Cubase's power-saving settings; they're now excluded from it.
- Demo/unlicensed muting is now silent rather than very quiet, so it no
  longer sounds like a glitch.

## 1.0.3

- MDA Send's Bus stepper now only offers buses that have a live Sum, so it's
  no longer possible to step a Send onto a bus number nothing is listening on.
- Added a one-time warning on MDA Send if it's left on a bus with no Sum while
  a Sum is live elsewhere, with a one-click "Fix Now."
- Fixed "Update Available" never appearing, and made it open the downloads
  page directly instead of the homepage.

## 1.0.2

- MDA Sum now warns if its own track's input is carrying audio — it should
  live alone on a blank, isolated track.
- Added a first-run Quick Start tutorial to both editors, with a "Don't Show
  Again" option.

## 1.0.1

- Added LR Link to MDA Send — an independent, per-track dual-mono/linked control
  for that track's own local compressor.
- MDA Send's Detector HPF/LPF are now fully independent of the Sum's Global
  Detector HPF/LPF, instead of being bounded by it.
- Added Attack and Release LEDs to both plugins, plus a Threshold LED and a
  Collapse meter on MDA Sum.
- Collapse now waits for a genuinely hard hit before engaging, instead of
  responding to the first dB over threshold.
- Refreshed knob, button, and selector styling on both plugins.
