ふと気づくとSonarworks Reference 4 Headphone editionが 4.4.1になっていたので頂戴する。Systemwideを起動して「Check for update」しても4.4.1を教えてくれないで「最新版だ」と言い張るので、こちらからオフライン版な「Sonarworks Reference 4 Studio Edition 4.4.1.49.exe」(374MB)をダウンロードしてインストール。
「You are up to date!」と言い張る4.4.0.156。

そんな中、音を写真のようにレタッチ処理できるSpectraLayersがSteinberg製品に移管。しかもSound ForgeやMelodyneとセットでソースネクストが12,800円の特売中!?とのことで、SpectraLayersへの物欲が盛り上がってたり。SpectraLayers Pro 6 リリースでMAGIXから移ったのは知っていたし、以前から面白そーだとも思っていたのだけれど、お値段的に見送り案件だったのよね。それがいろいろおまけ付きで今月末まで12,800円とゆーことなので、ちと真剣に検討してみましょかね。
