Version 3.21.3
Versions 3.21.1, 3.21.2 and 3.21.3 were released within a few days: 3.21.1 was withdrawn because an internal installer component shipped without a digital signature and Windows could block it during installation, 3.21.2 fixed that, and 3.21.3 brings the fixes below — if you are on any earlier 3.21 version, please update to this one
Fixes recording without pre-roll, which inserted the take about 0.2 s before the cursor and pushed the material immediately before it to after the recording
Fixes the toolbar popovers in full screen on macOS: they now follow the toolbar when the menu bar is revealed, and the bar animation no longer stalls while a popover is open
Fixes terms that were still shown in English in translated languages, among them the speed engine names and the group names in the shortcuts table
Fixes the Windows installer, whose internal plug-in shipped without identification and could therefore be treated as unknown by the system
Other bug fixes and improvements
Version 3.21.2
Adds stereo recording from a pair of device inputs, chosen in the recording routing, with the meter split across both channels
Adds a safeguard against an audio device that brings the program down: the next time the program opens, it is quarantined instead of being opened again
Improves the preview of the gain visual tools — fade in/out, ramp and ducking can now be adjusted while the passage plays, without restarting playback on every change
Improves preset handling in VST2 plug-ins: switching is much faster, the plug-in editor follows the chosen preset, and the preset takes effect on Apply even without pressing Play
Improves recording on Linux with PipeWire and PulseAudio, which keeps the input open for the session and preserves the routing made in the graph from one take to the next
Improves the routing popover on smaller screens, with scrollable content and a size measured against the space available below the point where it was opened
Improves the recording cursor with pre-roll, which takes over at the first recorded audio instead of appearing ahead after a freeze
Improves the file names suggested when saving the tracks produced by Ocen AI and by duplication, which now inherit the name of the source file
Fixes the gain applied to a selection, which ended up applying to the whole file when clicking outside it, on macOS and Linux
Fixes PCM export inside containers such as MP4, which produced a file with no audio while still reporting success
Fixes effect previewing on mono files, which came out distorted with both built-in effects and VST2 plug-ins
Fixes distorted previewing in Audio Unit plug-ins on macOS
Fixes an unexpected shutdown when previewing noise reduction
Fixes unexpected shutdowns when starting and stopping playback and when opening and closing audio devices on Windows, with WASAPI and with ASIO, including when the driver fails during probing
Fixes recording with pre-roll, where the cut point drifted after the punch and the start of the take came out with pitch variation and clicks
Fixes language switching, which now takes effect immediately, and parts of the interface that stayed in English even with the translation available
Fixes the preferences window, which now opens on the same screen as the main window
Fixes previewing in Dynamics Processing when switching between Hard Limiter and the other tabs
Fixes icons and indicators cut off on Windows when the screen uses fractional scaling, such as 125% and 150%
Fixes the installer being blocked by Windows, caused by an internal installer component that shipped unsigned

Version 3.21.3
Versions 3.21.1, 3.21.2 and 3.21.3 were released within a few days: 3.21.1 was withdrawn because an internal installer component shipped without a digital signature and Windows could block it during installation, 3.21.2 fixed that, and 3.21.3 brings the fixes below — if you are on any earlier 3.21 version, please update to this one
Fixes recording without pre-roll, which inserted the take about 0.2 s before the cursor and pushed the material immediately before it to after the recording

Improves the preview of the gain visual tools — fade in/out, ramp and ducking can now be adjusted while the passage plays, without restarting playback on every change
Improves preset handling in VST2 plug-ins: switching is much faster, the plug-in editor follows the chosen preset, and the preset takes effect on Apply even without pressing Play
Improves recording on Linux with PipeWire and PulseAudio, which keeps the input open for the session and preserves the routing made in the graph from one take to the next
Improves the routing popover on smaller screens, with scrollable content and a size measured against the space available below the point where it was opened

Fixes language switching, which now takes effect immediately, and parts of the interface that stayed in English even with the translation available
Fixes the preferences window, which now opens on the same screen as the main window
Fixes previewing in Dynamics Processing when switching between Hard Limiter and the other tabs
