Any info as to why new Audiolens 1.2 update to is 4 times the filesize?

NoiseCrime

Hi,

I was checking on the Izotope site and noticed the 1.2 version of Audiolens is almost 4 times the download size of 1.1. That is a massive increase that I find difficult to understand.

I looked over the Izotope site and couldn't find any details or release notes for these updates, so I have no idea why the file size grew so much, nor why I should or need to update to 1.2.

So was wondering if anyone had any further details as to what 1.2 fixes or adds to Audiolens and if there was any reason for the massive size increase. Ideally I'd love to see some release notes, but not sure they exist?

Thanks.

There is nothing in the release notes to justify the change in file size.

My guess is that the changes either consists of (upcoming?) GUI related changes (such as seen in connection with updated requirements to some N.I. programs) or there has been added something for (internal/beta) experimenting with support for Native Access download and install !

There are release notes here:

• https://www.izotope.com/en/products/release-notes/audio-lens-release-notes.html

Looks like they can only be found by visiting iZotope's Product Support Help and Knowledge Base.

Thank you. I honestly had looked around and searched for a good 10-15 minutes and never stumbled into this. Even knowing how you did had me searching for another 5 minutes and only lucked into seeing a link after going to the manuals page and noticing it at the bottom of the page under 'Articles in this section'.

Yeah the Release Notes leave a lot to be desired.

Not sure I can see the size increase coming from GUI, but updated requirements could be true. I wonder if its due to that Acapella feature, as if this includes tech to extract vocals reliably I could see some ML stuff, especially the database could be large.

Thanks to all who replied.

So sorry I went to click on this answering my question but in my haste I accidently hit 'yes' button on the other reply ( which in fairness also answered part of the question). I then went to hit the 'no' button on that answer, but the page reloaded/moved and meant I hit 'no' on your answer! Afterwards it appears I cannot change any of those decisions. So I apologize, especially after you gave such a prompt and accurate reply.

@NoiseCrime Hey, 1. you're welcome and 2. no worries and no need to apologize 🙂 I'm sure a forum mod can fix this. But even if not, your 'thank you' is enough!
