Mar 03, 2021 The first incarnation, which bridged the gap between the transition between PowerPC and Intel, was discontinued in 2011 following the release of Mac OS X Lion. That discontinuation was largely driven by the fact that most PowerPC apps had already been converted to Intel, making Rosetta largely redundant. Henrico blasted for choosing Dell laptops with Windows XP over Apple iBooks with Mac OS X Tiger – May 09, 2005 Henrico school officials on Apple to Dell switch: The logo will change, but the.
Rapid development of IT industry and Internet, results in great changes in the world of music. Consequently, everyone who owns a PC and at least a bit of talent for music can make music. Steinberg, with his VST technology, made a real revolution in the field of music. Today, on Internet, there are many quality VST plug ins, both expensive and free ones (that are also high quality). On this site, you can find a lot of legal free VST plugins, audio recording software, music loops, free sounds. Submit your free stuff Information. Contact: [email protected]
Wikipedia:
Virtual Studio Technology and its acronym VST refer to an interface standard for connecting audio synthesizer and effect plugins to audio editors and hard-disk recording systems. VST and similar technologies allow the replacement of traditional recording studio hardware with software counterparts. VST plug-ins are software modules that can take the form of real-time instruments or effects. Thousands of plugins exist, making VST the most widespread audio plugin architecture.

Leo McCormack releases SPARTA v1.5.0 free VST audio plugin suite for spatial audio production 27th April 2021
Leo McCormack has released SPARTA v1.5.0, an open-source VST audio plug-in suite for spatial audio production, reproduction and visualisation (Windows/Mac/Linux).
SPARTA is a collection of flexible VST audio plug-ins for spatial audio production, reproduction and visualisation, developed primarily by members of the Acoustics Lab at Aalto University, Finland.
In particular, this release sees the addition of 9 new plug-ins:
- compass_binauralVR: essentially, this is the same as the compass_binaural plugin, except it also supports listener translation around the receiver position and multiple simultaneous listeners.
- compass_spatedit: a flexible spatial editing plug-in intended to be used with 2 instances. The first instance you make of the plugin will allow you to specify marker directions and it will output the beamformed signals, which you can then equalise/re-balance/modulate/swap/modify as you wish. These modified signals can then be routed to the second instance of the plug-in. The ambient components of the first plugin are then also sent internally to the second plugin instance. The edited sound-field is then reconstructed and outputted by the second instance of the plugin.
- compass_gravitator: a sound-field focussing plugin affecting only the direct sound components in the sound scene. It essentially pulls sound sources towards user defined marker directions with a certain degree of 'gravitational pull'.
- hodirac_binaural: a parametrically enhanced binaural ambisonic decoder, based on the higher-order Directional Audio Coding (HO-DirAC) method
- hodirac_decoder: the loudspeaker decoder variant
- hodirac_upmixer: the ambisonic upmixing variant
- sparta_spreader: a source panner with coherent and incoherent source spreading options. While by default it loads HRIR data for binaural spreading, the approach is quite general; for example, you could also create synthetic microphone array recordings of spread sources if you wish, by simply loading a SOFA file of microphone array IR measurements instead.
- sparta_ambiRoomSim: a basic shoebox room simulator with Ambisonics output, based on the image-source method. Its main niche is that it supports multiple sources and Ambisonic receivers. The output audio for the receivers is stacked up to the 64 channel limit. e.g., you can have up to 16x1st order, 4x3rd order receivers, or 1x7th order receiver.

There’s been an unprecedented rise in Mac OS X malware this year, according to security researchers at Bit9 + Carbon Black, with the number of samples found in 2015 being five times that seen in the previous five years combined.
This year, there have been 948 OS X malware samples, compared with 180 in the years 2011-14 inclusive.
Cybercriminals have stepped up their efforts to hack Apple devices because MacBooks are rising in popularity, both in homes and the workplace. Nearly half of organisations (45 per cent) are offering Macs as an option to their employees, according to stats cited by Bit9 + Carbon Black.
OS X vulnerabilities and malware have grabbed the security community’s attention this year. One example is XcodeGhost, which inserts malicious components into applications made with Xcode (Apple’s official tool for developing IOS and OS apps).
Additionally, it has emerged that OS X El Capitan, which launched in September, contains serious vulnerabilities in its Gatekeeper and Keychain features.
Flashback – the biggest Mac infection vector to date, which infected 700,000 devices on the back of a Java-based vulnerability – struck in 2012. What we’re getting this year is therefore a higher volume of less infectious nasties.
Malware authors targeting Macs are using OS X-specific mechanisms, rather than typical UNIX persistence methods commonly present in traditional malware samples, according to the security software vendor.
Hackers are adopting a targeted approach to Mac OS X systems, undermining the comforting notion that Macs are much more secure than their Windows counterparts in the process.
There may be a far greater volume of Apple-biting nasties this year but Mac OS X malware still isn’t that sophisticated. More than 90 per cent of the malware samples from 2015 analysed by Bit9 + Carbon Black were found to use an old load command that became redundant with the launch of OS X 10.8 in 2012.
Malware authors failed to begin using Apple’s new load command until 2014, and even then it was found in only a tiny percentage of malware samples.
Whilst there are 13 documented persistence techniques used by malware to remain on the targeted system, the research identified that just seven were present in the vast majority of OS X malware samples examined. This lack of variation gives threat detection teams an easier ride, as there are fewer places they need to check for malware in comparison with Windows systems.
The report (registration required), 2015 – The Most Prolific Year in History for OS X Malware, is based on over 1,400 unique OS X malware samples, aggregated over ten weeks from independent research efforts, open sources, real-world Mac OS X incident response experience, peer research, black lists, and contagion malware dumps amongst other sources.
By comparison there have been more than one million samples of Android malware to date. Vendors largely stopped counting Windows nasties years ago, but where estimates exist, numbers exceed 20 million even on the more conservative counts. ®
Bootnote
Persistence means that malware stays on compromised systems after a reboot, a key goal for malware slingers whichever computing platform their creations infect.
