Minnetonka Audio Software have released an update for their Pro Logic II plug in. This from their press release….
Minnetonka Audio Software announces the release of SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II v2.3. Provided as a cross platform plug-in suite, SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II now ships as a unified installer for Mac/PC operating systems supporting Pro Tools, VST based workstations and standalone applications, using a single iLok license for all flavours.Unlike other “compatible” Pro Logic II products, SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II is a fully licensed and certified application suite for both encoding and decoding. With an all-in-one installer, users can choose when and how to use SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II, giving you powerful multi-platform deployment at no additional charge. For example, the very same license of SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II on Pro Tools will authorize both the standalone product, on Mac and Windows, along with instances on any VST host.
Multi-instance support has also been added, allowing multiple Pro Logic II programs to be processed at the same time on the platform of your choice, saving time and streamlining your workflow. An example would be simultaneous VST or RTAS instances in your DAW, with the stand-alone processor running in parallel.
For a limited time, existing VST based or standalone customers can upgrade at a reduce price of only $99. Customer who purchased after May 1st, 2009 or existing SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II RTAS users, may upgrade at no additional charge via the web direct from
Minnetonka’s site here. This upgrade offer will expire August 15th, 2009.SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II v2.3 retails for $795 and is available through MASI’s international network of pro audio resellers, and online at Minnetonka’s site.
It seems to me that this release is firmly pointed at the demise of the Circle Surround plug-in which has been discontinued and doesn’t work properly in Pro Tools 8, see my post on it here. They have also made sure the upgrade fee is not excessive especially if you already own the RTAS version!!.
Thank you Minnetonka.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
