Audio Production mc² 12.4 introduces the following key features, each covered in detail below:

Module Pop-Up Redesign

The module popup interaction has been redesigned to provide a more consistent and efficient workflow. Instead of isolated module popups, the full main display layout is reused, offering a complete and familiar view for parameter control without leaving the current page.

This feature has now been extended for the Channel Bays. Improving usability in multi-operator environments, allowing parallel work on different bays while maintaining clear separation of control. It enables more flexible and simultaneous interaction, whether working alone or in shared console setups.

Main Bay Behavior

In the Main Bay, the popup extends the established workflow:

  • Triggered by touching any DSP module (EQ, dynamics, Pan, etc...) on the surface
  • Can also be opened via the mini display for a persistent view

Channel Bay Behavior

On Channel Bays, the Pop-Up is available independently and operates in ISO mode. Here, activation is only possible from the mini displays. Free Controls alone do not open the Pop-Up. Once a Pop-Up is active, Free Controls synchronize with surface interaction.

The Pop-Up dynamically follows channel and module selection, and extended parameter access becomes available across the assigned controls.

Real-Time Analyzer (RTA)

The Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) introduces live frequency visualization, allowing operators to see the signal spectrum while shaping sound. As incoming audio changes - or as EQ parameters such as gain, frequency, Q, or filter type are adjusted - the analyzer updates continuously and provides immediate visual feedback.

The visualization follows a 3-layer approach:

  • top layer: re-introduction of the filter curve
  • middle layer: interactive EQ/filter controls
  • background layer: real-time spectrum visualization

Available Settings


Visualization controls include:

  • Re-introduction of the Filter Graph
  • Opacity adjustment
  • RTA
  • Resolution and meter types
  • Attack/Release timing,
  • Peak/VU behavior
  • Freeze
  • Peak Hold functionalities

Freeze holds the current spectrum state for detailed inspection, while Peak Hold highlights transient peaks over time with configurable hold and reset behavior.

The measurement point follows the active listening source. In normal operation, the analyzer measures the output of the respective EQ processing module.

When pre-listening is active, the Spectral Meter follows the selected listen point instead, allowing operators to inspect effect or intermediate signals even if the module itself is bypassed. Dynamic EQ is handled as a special case and provides dedicated measurement tap points for both the measurement filter and the dynamic band output.

Display Modes

The analyzer supports both Curve and Bars display modes with Low, Medium, and High resolution settings. Curve mode renders a continuous interpolated line, while Bars mode uses fixed band counts of 61, 121, or 240 bands.

Operators can switch between both modes without interrupting audio processing or EQ interaction.



The RTA supports mono, stereo, and multichannel formats using a single visualization approach:

  • Mono displays a direct single-channel spectrum
  • Stereo displays one combined representation derived from the max/mean value between the L/R channels
  • Surround and immersive formats display one combined representation derived from the max/mean value across all channel legs

All RTA settings are stored together with the production file, similarly to Loudness Meter settings, ensuring consistent recall behavior across productions.

RTA & Resource Pooling

The Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) is powered by the DSP backend. On the A__UHD Core RTA resources are globally pooled, giving users flexibility in how analyzer resources are distributed across Virtual Mixers with pooling license setups. 

At:

  • 48kHz - up to 24 audio channels can be analyzed simultaneously
  • 96kHz - analyzer capacity is reduced to 12 audio channels

Because stereo, surround, and immersive formats consume multiple analyzer channels, the available resource pool can be exhausted depending on the number of active RTA's and channel formats in use.

For example:

  • In a Pooling 4 setup, all four console slices could simultaneously analyze 5.1 surround channels at 48kHz
  • At 96kHz, the reduced analyzer capacity allows analysis of up to 12 channel legs in total, meaning it would for example be possible to analyze up to 3 stereo channels per Virtual Mixer in a Pooling 4 setup
  • Alternatively, users may decide to allocate all available Spectral Meter resources to a single Virtual Mixer and disable them on the others, depending on operational requirements

Resources can be distributed freely between Virtual Mixers depending on operational requirements and the configured DSP layout.

When no additional Spectral Meter resources are available, the EQ view provides clear visual feedback indicating that no further analyzers can be allocated.

Delay Adjustment in Samples

The new unit is fully integrated into the existing delay workflow, with consistent behavior across all representations.

The adjustment controls adapt to the selected unit, providing clear and predictable step sizes during operation.

  • New delay unit: samples
  • Seamless switching between ms, meters, frames, and samples
  • Unit-aware +/- controls with corresponding step sizes
  • Display always reflects the active unit and value

This provides finer control over delay without changing the overall workflow.


Clear Offline Signals

A targeted way to remove offline signals directly from the Signal list is now available.

The feature is available from the context menu and applies only to signals that are clearly no longer in use. This avoids the need for global cleanup while ensuring that active or relevant signals remain untouched.

The removal follows strict eligibility rules to prevent unintended impact:

  • Signal must be offline
  • Signal must be external
  • All associated legs of the signal must be offline
  • Signal must not be system or user isolated
  • Signal must not be connected to Aliases

The operation always removes the entire parent signal, as individual legs cannot be deleted separately.

Two actions are available:

  • Clear Selected Offline Signals – removes only eligible signals from the current selection
  • Clear All Offline Signals – removes all eligible signals in the list

Signals that do not meet the criteria are automatically ignored, even if selected. Active signals are never affected.

The user is always prompted before proceeding with the action. This provides a controlled and predictable way to clean up obsolete entries while preserving system integrity.


Updated Custom Functions

This release also updates several third-party control integrations:

  • Crystal Controller v1.2 (updated)
  • Sequoia Control
  • d&b Soundscape Control
  • Meyer Spacemap Go Control
  • Central User Button / Access Channel Functions (updated)
  • Reaper Control (updated)

Crystal Control v1.2

AAA — HOME 5.0 and API Key Integration

This release enables HOME AAA/RBAC support for NodeSys and mc² systems. When AAA is enabled in HOME, authentication and authorization are managed centrally through HOME, allowing these devices to participate in the HOME security model.

For the AP devices backend configuration is required, and existing installations remain unaffected unless the feature is activated.


Channel Presets via Ember+

External control systems can now trigger preset loading on DSP channels through two functions: getPresetList, which returns the available preset paths, and loadPreset, which loads a preset onto the selected DSP channel. Both Channel presets and Module presets are supported, though preset creation and storage are not — this feature is about loading existing presets, not authoring new ones.

Terminology Alignment

UI terminology has been updated for consistency across mc² workflows. Naming is now aligned between related functions and user interactions, and simplified wording reduces operational ambiguity. No backend or compatibility changes are introduced by this alignment.

No backend terminology has changed — these are UI-only renames, with no breaking changes.
