de-artifact 0.4.4 – 0.4.7

2026-10-06 – 2026-10-08 · Recommended: 0.4.7 · macOS Universal + Windows x64 · Notarized

New

AAX build in the macOS installer (0.4.4). The installer adds de-artifact.aaxplugin as a selectable component for Pro Tools, installing to /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/. It is the same plug-in wrapped for Pro Tools, not a second implementation. It is Apple Silicon only (the option is not offered on Intel Macs, and there is no Windows AAX) and stereo inserts only.
Lower reported latency (0.4.4). On macOS the plug-in now reports 13,126 samples (≈ 298 ms) at 44.1 kHz with 512-sample blocks, down from 15,429 (≈ 350 ms), and 15,599 (≈ 325 ms) at 48 kHz, down from 17,322 (≈ 361 ms). Your host's delay compensation picks up the new value automatically. A larger host buffer adds about 11.6 ms per extra 512 samples; the AAX build in Pro Tools reports 13,638 and 16,156 samples with a 1024-sample maximum.
Expired trials are clearer (0.4.6). The licence badge reads Trial ended · Buy once a trial has expired; clicking it opens the licence panel, where you can buy or enter a key.

Fixed

AU host bypass keeps its latency (0.4.5). Bypass no longer passes audio through at zero delay while the plug-in still reports its latency, so bypassed and processed audio stay aligned.
AU Attack/Release in milliseconds; macOS CLAP editor show/hide (0.4.5). The AU controls advertise native milliseconds, and macOS CLAP editors honour show and hide without destroying their view.
Offline renders and resampling. Offline detection reads host-buffer timing, so several worker hops inside one real-time callback no longer trigger a false offline latch, and a resampler reserve at non-model sample rates prevents shortages during sustained processing.
Host lifecycle (0.4.7). Activation, deactivation and state changes are now guarded against concurrent audio processing in CLAP, VST3, AU and AAX.

Existing licenses carry over. Update from the download page.

de-artifact 0.4.3

2026-09-29 · Superseded by 0.4.7 · macOS Universal + Windows x64 · Notarized

New

14 factory presets. The presets heard in the 0.4 campaign now ship in the Factory bank: Bmore, de-chirp, Suno V6, Stem Separation, Bring Your Breaks Bright Again, Nicerizer, Gentle Reduction, Soft Master Bus and More Harmonics. They recall the recorded starting settings; parameter sweeps and Bypass/Residual monitoring from the demos are not part of a preset. Existing User presets and saved projects are preserved.

Fixed

Brightness reset. Resetting the plug-in no longer rebuilds the Brightness model on the audio thread.

Existing licenses carry over. Update from the download page.

de-artifact 0.4.0 – 0.4.2

2026-09-27 – 2026-09-28 · Superseded by 0.4.3 · macOS Universal · Notarized

New in the 0.4 line

Brightness. Above 0, a small network regenerates the 8–22 kHz band from the cleaned signal (0.4.0).
Frame-streaming engine at every host rate. The frame-streaming engine is the default whatever sample rate the host runs at (0.4.1).
Early-trial help. During the first days of a trial the license panel links to the quick-start and troubleshooting guides (0.4.2).

Install 0.4.7 rather than these builds; it contains all of the above.

ENZYME 0.3.6

2026-09-24 · Recommended · macOS Universal + Windows x64 · Notarized

New

Seven factory presets. Stereo Link Balanced, Gentle, Flow and Smooth for linked stereo processing; L/R Natural and M/S Natural for independent channel processing; H/P Soft for HPSS processing with Channel Link off. They ship inside the VST3, CLAP and AU binaries and appear in the Factory preset browser when the editor opens.

Fixed since 0.3.1

Windows editor. Editors parented by the host (for example in REAPER) now render through WGPU (0.3.2).
Editor resizing. Resize requests reach the host in the correct order (0.3.5).

14-day free trial. Download from the download page, or read the spec sheet.

ENZYME 0.3.1

2026-08-24 · Verified release · macOS Universal · Notarized + stapled

New

Mono instances. ENZYME loads on mono tracks as a 1-in/1-out plug-in with a mono sidechain. Stereo-only behaviour — mid/side processing and channel link — does not apply on a mono instance, and the spectrum legend no longer labels a mono signal as M/S.

Fixed

Mono Audio Unit editor. A mono AU instance opened an empty plug-in window in Logic. The mono layout declared a stereo sidechain bus, but a host negotiates the sidechain at the instance width — Logic asks for a mono sidechain on a mono track. The rejected format made Logic drop the instance before it ever asked for the editor, with no error shown. The sidechain now matches the instance width.

0.3.0 introduced the mono layout but shipped with that regression and was withdrawn; 0.3.1 replaced it. At the time Windows stayed on 0.2.1; Windows builds resumed later in the 0.3 line.

14-day free trial. Download from the download page, or read the spec sheet.

ENZYME 0.2.1

2026-08-18 · First public release · macOS Universal · Notarized + stapled

New plug-in

Dynamic resonance suppression. Estimates a per-bin spectral baseline and attenuates only what protrudes above it, per frame — so a resonance is pulled down while it rings and everything else at that frequency passes through.
Harmonic / percussive / residual de-mix. An optional second stage separates the signal into three components with independent cut amounts, a 7–31 bin median kernel, three mask modes, and solo monitoring per component.
Native AUv2, VST3 and CLAP. The Audio Unit is a real component rather than a wrapped CLAP, so Logic and GarageBand load it directly.
Delta and Bypass monitoring. Delta plays only what is being removed. Both keep the reported 2047-sample latency, so A/B stays phase-aligned.

Fixed since 0.2.0

Audio Unit knob writes. Moving a control in the editor now retargets the parameter smoother, so edits made from the GUI take effect in AU hosts.

14-day free trial. Download from the download page, or read the spec sheet.

de-artifact 0.3.10

2026-08-15 · Verified release · macOS + Windows

Fixed

Logic Pro AU silence. Corrected two host-buffer contract errors in the input pull path. Logic Pro playback was verified with the corrected wrapper.
Windows installation checks. The installer now detects the Microsoft VC++ 2015–2022 x64 runtime and Windows 10 2004+ requirements before installation, instead of allowing a plug-in that cannot load to appear installed.

Existing licenses carry over. Update from the download page.

de-artifact 0.3.9

2026-08-13 · Verified release · macOS Apple Silicon

Fixed / improved

Native inference self-check. The native path is compared with the CPU reference at load time and falls back automatically when outputs disagree.
Active engine visibility. The editor and diagnostic report now show which inference backend is active.
Shipping-build QC. AU validation now exercises the same feature and model configuration used for release builds.

The self-check is a mitigation for one Apple Silicon silence path, not a claim that every possible silence cause is fixed.

de-artifact 0.3.8

2026-08-04 · Verified release

Added

In-plugin update check. The editor can show when a newer channel release is available without sending device or version telemetry.
Improved display formatting for dB controls.

Verified legacy releases

Kept for reference; not the current recommendation

0.1.8 — fixed AVX2 Windows audio dropouts by wiring the multithreaded executor.
0.1.3 — installer path and version sourcing fixes.

Release policy

Versions with confirmed blocking regressions are intentionally not listed here. If you are on an older build, install the current release from the de-artifact or ENZYME download page (the version shown there is the one to install) and restart or re-add the plug-in in your DAW. Release notes for builds newer than those listed above are added here once their release audit is complete, so this page can briefly lag the download page. If a problem remains, open a support ticket with the host, OS, and diagnostic report.

License model: trial-then-paid

We moved back to a 14-day full trial model and retired the always-on freemium gap. The trial is bound to a machine fingerprint (no email, no account), so launching a fresh install on a machine just works for 14 days at full quality with no audible limits.

14-day full trial. First launch on a machine calls /v1/trial on license.intrect.io; the server issues a signed blob bound to the machine's fingerprint with a 14-day expiry. Re-installs on the same machine reuse the original expiry — no clock reset. Reinstalling the OS may reset machine identity and re-issue the trial; we accept that as a reasonable evaluation path.
Gate after expiry. Once the 14-day trial elapses, the plug-in continues to run but inserts a brief silent gap roughly every 60 seconds until you activate it with a license key. The previous "always-on, 250 ms every 10 s" gap is gone.
Activate flips the trial blob to paid. A purchase email delivers the license key; pasting it in the plug-in's license badge calls /v1/activate, rewrites the on-disk blob to a paid blob (tier byte = 0x00, no expiry), and removes the gate immediately — whether you're on day 1 or past day 14.

de-artifact 0.1.2

2026-05-08 · macOS 11+ · Notarized + stapled

Changes

Apple notarization complete. Installer is signed with our Developer ID Installer certificate (Heewon Oh, team 635QK74RYK) and the notarization ticket is stapled into the .pkg. Double-click installs without the “unidentified developer” Gatekeeper dialog — no more right-click + Open workaround.

License server, downloads, telemetry

Backend infrastructure milestones leading up to the public launch. These changes are invisible to end users but worth recording for transparency.

Email-based trial system retired. The original 14-day email-Turnstile trial (/v1/trial-request) was removed in favour of a forever-free demo with a 250 ms silent gap every 10 s — no email friction, no abandoned trials. Superseded on 2026-05-10: the freemium gap was replaced with a no-email, machine-fingerprint-bound 14-day full trial via the new /v1/trial endpoint. See the 2026-05-10 platform note at the top of this page.
145-byte signed license blob. Server-side blob layout finalized in lockstep with the plug-in's intrect-license Rust crate: ed25519 signature, expiry, machine fingerprint, license key, reserved bytes. Refresh deadline ~14 days; quietly renewed in the background while the plug-in is loaded.
Paddle webhook hardening. HMAC verification with a 5-minute replay window; handles transaction.completed, approved adjustment.updated refunds, and subscription.canceled.
Download CDN. Installer files are served from downloads.intrect.io through a Cloudflare Worker that proxies R2, honours Range requests, and writes one telemetry row per request to the new intrect-telemetry D1 database.
Turnstile-gated downloads. The .pkg URL only releases the binary if the request carries a verified Cloudflare Turnstile token, issued by the /download/<plugin>/ interstitial page. Stops bot scraping and dataset crawlers from pulling the installer.
Daily rollup cron. Raw download events are aggregated nightly into the daily_rollup table; raw rows older than 30 days are pruned.
Read-only metrics endpoint. metrics.intrect.io exposes per-path / country / referral aggregates over a Bearer token, for the operator only.
Site SEO + Core Web Vitals pass. JSON-LD FAQPage + BreadcrumbList + WebSite on the marketing pages, OG/Twitter tags consolidated, Paddle script deferred, hero images width/height + fetchpriority for LCP, immutable cache on static assets.
