Greetings one and all, 1.0.6 is a relatively large release, that for most people will appear relatively small. A lot of work was done on bringing the GoXLR Utility experience on Linux and MacOS more closely inline with the experience on Windows, but also includes new features, bug fixes, and a lot of extra polish under the hood as well.
The Mic Setup and 'Gate' sections of the UI now have a new waveform which detail your Mics volume levels over the last few seconds, these were added to make it easier to tune your Gain and Gate, and give a visual representation of the changes.
I'd like to also give a shoutout to Ryan on discord, who's spent the last couple of days reporting bugs (including audio and video reproductions), testing fixes, and generally just being awesome with the process :)
As always, grab the binaries below, and without further ado, onto the changelog:
