Major new features:

• Add support for Intel/AMD's FMA extension for reduced CPU load when mixing
  
• Audio region peak-display (with mouse in Internal Edit mode: floating over a region shows the audio region's peak dB value)
  

Minor fixes:

• Update Export Format dialog layout, group settings more sensibly
  
• Optimize stem and direct-out export (speed up exporting)
  
• Significantly speed up loading export formats (export dialog opens faster)
  
• Restore monitor-sends when creating a session with a monitor section, from a template
  
• Fix invisible multichannel waveform at rec-stop
  
• Fix incorrect wave-display with nested regions
  
• Fix plugin window parent when using different workspaces
  
• FaderPort 8/16: allow to sort plugin-params by priority (LV2 plugins only)
  
• Disable vertical autoscroll during Drag/Drop where it doesn't make sense
  
• macOS: explicitly ask for mic/input permissions
  
• Fix occasional crash when removing side-chain input
  
• Fix 32bit intel builds: WinXP and OSX 10.6
  

Plugin fixes and improvements:

• AU: Fix AudioUnit window size for some non-resizable plugins
  
• VST2: correct MIDI port detection (some plugins with midi port are now correctly scanned) - fixes "Little Alterboy" MIDI input
  
• VST3: cleanly unload plugins at session-close. fixes crashes with "Waves" plugin shell.
  
• VST3: ignore GUI size allocations - fixes crashes of some plugins, e.g. "Reason Rack Plug" on macOS
  
• VST3: fix plugin bus configuration - fixes crashes of some plugins, e.g. "TDR Nova"
  
• VST3: Use a proxy for connecting and passing messages - fixes crashes of some plugins, e.g. "Focusrite Red"
  
• VST3: fix crash when deleting a plugin or closing a session with Harrison AVA plugins
  
• VST3: report Music-Time (Bar/Beat) to plugins
  
• VST3: allow to customize plugin search path
  
• VST3: fix recursive scan and bundle name matching (detect some plugins, hide some duplicates)
  
• VST3: always pass buffers for all audio busses (fixes "MCompressor" and yabridge'd VST plugins)
  
• LV2: update meta-data of ACE plugins

Thanks to all at Harrison for your continued hard work and development.

Downloading!

[lowercasetwo]

I am a little confused.  A few weeks ago I downloaded and installed 6.2.70 - so is 6.2.2 (which is a lower number) actually a newer (higher) version?  Confusing.
Or is it actually 70 vs 200?  Maybe that is your method of numbering updates.
lol
Thanks

6.2.200 is the current highest release.  Standard release format: 6 (major) .2 (minor) .200 (build)

Nice!
But I'm not getting this. Do I need to enable something, or am I just not doing it right?

Still blank GUI for Waves v 12 ...

With the Edit tool in 'Internal Edit Mode' it works for me.
