What's new in Outboard-EQ
Every release, newest first. Updates are free — download the latest version any time from your account.
v1.0.0
Latest- Saving and naming presets now works on every platform: “Save As…”, rename and overwrite open an in-app dialog styled to match the plugin — fixing macOS, where the name prompt previously did nothing at all.
- Every knob, rotary switch and meter dial now shows a hover tooltip explaining what it does.
- Smoother preset workflow: reliable factory-preset recall in Logic Pro, quick ‹ › preset navigation, a Reset/Default hint, and per-band slope shortcuts.
v0.1.8
- Linear-phase mode is now seamless: adjusting a band or switching the linear-phase resolution no longer causes brief audio dropouts — even at the highest resolution — and the change is applied instantly while playback stays clean.
v0.1.7
- New: Hit Record AUTO (beta) — play your material until the HIT pill in the footer fills, pick Master, Mix or Instrument and press Apply: Outboard-EQ reads crest, brightness and low end and writes the fewest EQ moves needed toward the spectral balance of commercial records. One shot, fully undoable.
- Step-by-step guide with tips: outboard.audio/help/hit-record-auto
v0.1.6
- Outboard-EQ is now pluginval-validated at the maximum strictness level 10 — the industry's plugin test suite gave audio processing at 44.1/48/96 kHz, automation, state recall and thread safety a clean pass.
- News from Outboard, right here: the logo marker now also lights up for occasional product news — not just for new versions — and clears once read.
v0.1.5
- New Theme switch — a slider that snaps through nine hand-tuned colour worlds (Graphite, Azure, Teal, Indigo, Daylight, Emerald, Amber, Violet and High-contrast), each a complete, self-contained palette.
- Macro knobs — four assignable macros that drive any combination of band and output parameters from a single control, with per-target depth and full DAW automation.
- The in-plugin “what’s new” marker now clears automatically once you’ve opened the changelog.
v0.1.4
- Sharper EQ display on Windows screens with fractional scaling (125% / 150% / 175%) — the curve and grid now render crisply at any DPI.
- Redesigned Dynamic-EQ colours for the Daylight and High-contrast themes — a calmer, more organic palette that reads cleanly on light backgrounds.
- Full-height input and output meter side-rails with a tidier meter sidebar layout.
v0.1.3
- In-plugin update notifications: a marker on the logo and a “what’s new” panel let you know — right inside your DAW — when a new version is available.
- The licence and activation panel now follows your system language (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian).
v0.1.2
- New colour schemes — Daylight (light) and High-contrast — alongside the default Graphite, each with an optional accent colour. Switch them from the footer; your choice is remembered per plugin.
- The EQ display now resizes responsively to fill the space between the meters.
- Wider input/output meter sidebars, a slimmer header, and theme-aware knobs, markers and sliders for sharper readability.
v0.1.1
- Fixed a rare crash in Cubase 15 on some Windows systems (WebView2 start-up hardening).
- Removed the brief white flash when opening or re-opening the plugin window.
- More robust UI start-up on Windows: statically-linked WebView2 loader and per-user data stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%.
v0.1.0
- First public release of Outboard-EQ.
