Buffle Audio Align Release Notes

v0.4.0 Preview

Post-v0.3.0 macOS preview for Standalone, VST3, and AU. This is still a preview release: the installer is not Developer ID signed or notarized, and final V1 still needs clean-account install smoke plus DAW latency matrix evidence.

  • Product-first landing page refresh centered on the actual Align workflow and current standalone UI.
  • Breath Preservation Mask v0 inside Consonant Tamer to better protect soft sustained breath-like material while reducing sharper unmatched Dub attacks.
  • Stack Spread Governor v0: Stereo Focus now drives a lightweight mid/side width stage for tighter doubles or wider choir/ADR-style layers.
  • Phrase Health classifier separates the producer verdict from the Trust Meter reason, adding Phrase advice to reports and the central status strip.
  • Saveable alignment reports for session notes and tester feedback, alongside clipboard copy.
  • Compact central UI guidance for Naturalness, Articulation, and Next Best Move so the decision surface is easier to scan at smaller editor sizes.
  • Latency-compensated bidirectional Nudge Dub support for early/late timing corrections.
  • Trust Diagnostics v1: shared Trust Meter reason codes and action advice for route, quiet-lane, listening, locked, delay, and advance states.
  • Consonant-only Tamer audition mode plus report fields for tamer-only removed material, separate from broad All Diff preview changes.
  • Session-flow rail and Next Best Move card for tester-friendly phrase workflow guidance.
  • Naturalness Risk Guardrail v0 for Natural, Check Diff, and Too Much UI/report states.
  • Signed Apply Nudge states and report text for reliable early/late Guide/Dub offsets.
  • Additional deterministic DSP regression coverage for nudge edge clamps, Consonant Tamer block-size invariance, changed-material calibration, and guardrail policy.
  • Release tooling now reads VERSION and supports zip/pkg/full publish modes with draft prerelease defaults.
  • Clipboard and text-file report handoff summaries for Phrase Health, Phrase advice, confidence, offset, suggested timing correction, changed-material amount, preview mode, stack role, and current controls.
  • Report formatter tests for unavailable and safe-nudge states.
  • Initial changed-material meter for overall processed-vs-original preview change, with DSP tests and editor/report surfacing.
  • Clearer first-run UI labels: Arm Listen, Check Timing, Preview Align, dynamic Apply Nudge text, and quiet-lane hints.
  • Stack Role presets for Double Tight, Choir Natural, Rap Stack, and ADR Loose.
  • Role presets apply Tightness, Naturalness, Consonant Tamer, Guide Blend, and Stereo Focus without changing Nudge or Preview Mode. Stereo Focus now drives the initial Stack Spread Governor; Guide Blend now adds Guide sidechain monitor blend for timing checks.
  • Original / Aligned / Difference preview modes with persistent APVTS state.
  • Difference audition path for hearing the processed-minus-original material. Initial changed-material metering is in place; per-feature removed-material solo remains V1 work.
  • Updated standalone screenshots showing the current product surface and A/B preview controls.
  • Experimental Consonant Tamer Lite DSP for unmatched Dub consonant bursts.
  • Phrase-health strip, stateful workflow rail, and disabled Apply Nudge state until a safe suggestion exists.
  • CTest coverage for the consonant-tamer preview slice.
  • Confidence-gated offset and suggested nudge display.
  • Apply Nudge workflow action for reliable suggestions.
  • Visible Guide Blend and Stereo Focus controls.
  • Roadmap reframed around trust-meter alignment, delay-safe nudge, and consonant cleanup.
  • Landing, README, host-latency validation, and tester guide updated with the producer workflow and current preview focus.

MacOS preview for Standalone, VST3, and AU.

Highlights

  • Polished Buffle Audio Align editor with Guide/Dub monitoring and a clearer v0.3 preview state.
  • Optional Guide sidechain with Dub fallback indication.
  • Manual nudge delay preview with manual-versus-suggested nudge context.
  • Initial signed offset estimate, offset confidence, and suggested nudge readouts.
  • Standalone DSP library with CTest coverage for envelope extraction, offset estimation, and nudge timing.
  • macOS Standalone, VST3, AU, local .pkg installer, and zipped staged bundles.
  • Polished static landing page under landing/, designed to be exposed without serving the full repository.

v0.3.0 Artifacts

  • BuffleAudioAlign-0.3.0-macOS.pkg

Notes

The bundle zip is the preferred preview testing path. The bundles are ad-hoc signed for local verification. The installer is not Developer ID signed or notarized yet.
