UPGRADING FROM AN EARLIER TEST BUILD

Install the new build over the old one; sessions keep their settings. Still Tune was retired in 3.2 and Still Denoise became Still PBS DeNoise in 3.3. The installers remove the old copies automatically.

HONEST NOTES

What zero latency means, and what it doesn't.

We'd rather you know the limits before the service than find them during it.

IIR filters only

Linear-phase and FFT processing always add delay, so none is used in the audio path. Analyzers run on a copy of the audio, away from the signal.

Still Limit is sample-peak

True peak can read slightly above the ceiling. Use −2 dB for streams.

PBS DeNoise is DSP, not AI

Excellent on steady noise; weaker on crowd noise or music bleed.

Feedback looks for pure, steady tones

A whistle, a sine-wave synth or a very long held note can look the same. Lower Sensitivity or use Locked for those songs.

Automix groups share one host

Instances link inside one host on one computer. Hosts that sandbox each plugin can't link them; use one multichannel instance there.

Listen on curves are references

The device curves in Still Limit are general reference curves, not measurements of any specific product.

Console-based rigs

SoundGrid servers only run their own plugins. With a digital console, host these in a native low-latency host (Gig Performer, Reaper, Ableton Live) over USB or card I/O.

Quick answers

Do the plugins add any delay?

No. Every plugin reports 0 samples of latency to the host. Safe on live mics, in-ears and the stream.

Which formats and systems?

VST3, Audio Unit and Standalone. Universal on Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel); 64-bit VST3 on Windows 10 and 11.

Where are my presets saved?

In Documents/Still Audio/<Plugin>/, so they appear in every session and every DAW.

The window is too small on my screen.

Drag the window corner to scale it from 75% to 200%. Double-click any knob to reset it.

Will my old sessions still open?

Yes. Installing a newer build over an older one keeps every session's settings.
