Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 26382, member: 636"] Audio software developer Variety Of Sound released an update yesterday to its popular tape-delay simulation plugin. The latest version of NastyDLA mkIII introduces significant improvements to sound quality and performance, according to company representatives. Version 3.5 features a redesigned input stage that incorporates audio transformer circuitry, delivering what engineers describe as "harmonically rich and detailed sound profiles." The company has recalibrated the relationship between compression and tape saturation components to enhance dynamic range with noticeably reduced distortion artifacts. "We completely rethought how the input drives both the compressor and tape saturation," said lead developer Björn Arlt. "This creates a smoother, more consistent output that better reflects vintage hardware behavior." The delay section received substantial attention from developers, who refined stereo imaging capabilities and expanded modulation options. Users will notice differences between stereo modes, with the team adjusting PingPong delay output levels and left-right channel balance for improved spatial representation. Technical advancements include implementing state-of-the-art oversampling utilizing Anti-Derivative Anti-Aliasing technology and new Zero-Delay Filtering algorithms that minimize quantization noise. These changes represent the most substantial overhaul of the plugin's audio engine since its initial release. Additional refinements address previous limitations, including channel-specific noise generation and corrected VU meter response to high-frequency content. The update also improves Windows 10 compatibility, resolving issues reported by users of Microsoft's operating system. The software remains free to download for Windows systems as VST and VST3 plugin formats, continuing Variety Of Sound's commitment to providing professional-grade audio tools without cost barriers to music producers and sound designers worldwide.
