Release notes
v1.1.0b is a minor update to v1.1.0 which addresses installation issues on some Macs where Gatekeeper is enforcing app translocation (also known as Gatekeeper path randomisation.) This should not occur with signed disk images, but in some rare cases it still appears to happen. This fix does not affect the Windows or Linux builds, and only affects the setup application on MacOS.
v1.1.0 supports 128 channels in REAPER v7.0 or greater and improved compatibility with ADM generated by third-party tools. It also includes various bug fixes and performance improvements.
For advanced users, custom HRTFs can now be used with the Binaural Monitoring plug-in. This plug-in is based around BEAR (Binaural EBU ADM Renderer) which uses it's own custom file format. There are various reasons for this explained in the guide linked below. Ultimately this requires a SOFA file to be converted using bespoke tool. The guide for this process is available in the BEAR repository. Once you have generated a TF file for BEAR, this should be placed alongside the EAR Binaural Monitoring plug-in. This will probably be ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3/ear-production-suite in MacOS, or C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ear-production-suite in Windows. When the plug-in UI is then reopened, a drop-down box should appear at the top of the plug-in allowing you to select between HRTF sets.
Again, a Linux build is provided although this is still considered experimental and may contain bugs.
Please see detailed changelog below.
Known issues
The EPS exports ADM using egocentric, polar coordinates and conforming to the EBU Broadcast Production Profile.
It is very tolerant in the ADM it will import meaning it can import files that conform to other profiles.
ADM authored using the Dolby Atmos ADM profile can be imported, but coordinates and directspeakers pack formats are converted on import and exported files will instead conform to the Production Profile.
To import Production Profile ADM in to third-party tools which do not support this profile, the ADM must be converted. BBC R&D along with the EBU have developed the EBU ADM Toolkit to assist with this task.
To fix a problem using the plug-ins with some hosts, the ID for all plug-ins changed with the 0.7.0 release. This change will break any REAPER projects created using the 0.6.0 plug-ins.
Please use the Project Upgrade Utility to convert these. There is a command-line tool available in the Tools directory of the download package, and a GUI tool available either in the download package or via the Extensions > Browse tools and templates... menu option in REAPER once the EPS is installed.
