Metric Halo have released the version 1.0.2 maintenance update for the AAX versions of the Production Bundle as well as individual AAX plug-ins. This update fixes the following issues and improves performance with the Production Bundle:

• Further optimized CS3, Precision De-esser, and MH MultibandDynamics, leading to an increase in instance counts
• Substantial optimization of the processing code, especially for HDX, leading to increased instance counts
• Fixed bit-cleanliness on bypassed CS3 blocks; now CS3 with phase invert nulls with unprocessed audio
• Fixed issue with grunge when DSP is filled with MH Precision De-esser
• Accurate Cycle Counts for all plugins on HDX
• Enhanced control surface page table layouts
• Fixed some corner case bugs that apparently can cause a DSP crash on heavily loaded systems
• Additional interpolation of various parameters in the plugins to provide glitch free parameter changes
• Fixed a conflict between CoreGraphics and DAE that can lead to DAE errors (DSP + Native), CPU spiking & overloads (Native)
• Fixed a filter stability issue for high session sample rates for CS3
• Fixed an issue where the average trace in the analyzer view can get stuck
• Reduce the size on disk and in memory of the plugins
• Fixed some missing control surface metering support and clip detection
• Fixed some small graphic anomalies
• Fix for detector for classic compressor in CS3 when Side-Chain filter is enabled
• Signed installer for Mountain Lion compatibility

They strongly recommend that all users update their software. The new software can be found on our Downloads page.

I know that the team at Metric Halo have been working very hard to make these plug-ins sing, so if you haven’t tried this bundle of AAX plugins that include both Native and DSP versions then I would recommend that you go to their Demo page where you can download a 30 day trial so you can check out these plug-ins for yourself.
