Latte's special filters and pre's are great, but i disliked the multiband and comp. Others love the mb though.

Aubergine is awesome. May be the best release from Acustica to date in my opinion. Capable of subtle saturation all the way up to disgusting filth. Excellent tonal shaping as well. Must have if you make heavy electronic genres, or really anything.

Awesome! It sounds very real and vivid.

I was ready for Aubergine... but now Taupe and Coffee are calling.

Is Alice9 going to be apart of this deal as well ?

Not for the moment.

Amethyst 4,
Coral 2,
Crimson,
Druma,
Titanium 3,
Silver Volume E, G, I, K, M & N.

what Silver volumes do you find yourself using the most if you've got some already? Which ones out of the couple you just scooped up are you most excited about? I'm thinking about picking up one or two Silvers in the sale, Cheers

I’ll let you know once I test them out !

Can someone tell me if it’s possible to put Acustica’s samples on an external drive?

I don't think they support that, but I used to do that with my old Mac install. I never had any problems using Symbolic Links with an SSD with reasonably fast read.

You can certainly re-direct the location under the settings of ADA. It may not be supported, but if you have an SSD with a reliable connection there's not really reason to expect that it would not work. Best way to find out is to test it and see how well it works. I've done this in the past with other plugin vendors and libraries, not with AA.

I do something like this so I don't have dupe sample folders in both VST3 and AU (macOS):

ln -s /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/LATTE /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/LATTE

I never tried pointing from an external to my internal plugin path but worth a shot.

Don't know the windows command so you may have to look that up.

I still do that for AU to VST3 and AAX, using symbolic links. Never seen a problem.
Acustica maintains it can cause problems though.

Finally received conformation from help desk. Apparently the third party developers no longer work for AA and as such, the Sienna Rooms app is no longer under development.

Is this the same reason why much of the back catalogue never gets updates? I really hope AA aren't spreading themselves too thinly.

The Sienna Room app for iOS was developed by us.

There hasn’t been much demand for headphone listening on mobile, and Apple isn’t particularly fond of this use case either—in fact, we can’t process streaming services like Spotify. Over time, the app evolved into Sienna Sphere, which is now primarily a web app.

Originally, the web version was just a replica of the iOS app, but both later added live file versioning and management features. Eventually, the web version progressed further, implementing real-time streaming functionality.

The problem is real: the iOS app had few users because very few people are interested in headphone monitoring when it only works with local files. By 2024–2025, almost no one listens to local files anymore—everyone streams. That’s why we gradually evolved the app to handle streaming.

In the future, we might bring back headphone monitoring to iOS by implementing all the features currently available in the Sienna web app also into the iOS version of the app. The main issue with Apple’s operating system is that you can’t interact with other apps or sit in between them, because that could lead to unwanted behavior. For example, if an app could read the Spotify stream, it could potentially use that data for commercial analysis.

So while headphone monitoring is what we want to achieve, the options available on iOS are extremely limited. On desktop, you can build something like our system-wide app, where the DAW output is routed through Sienna to enable headphone monitoring. But on iOS, this kind of setup is strictly forbidden for security reasons.

Now, iOS has a built-in headphone monitoring feature, but the reason few users ever used it is because you have to use the integrated player, not a third-party one. Today, most users stream music, so the real value comes when you can listen to streaming content and apply Sienna processing. For a time, I managed to use it effectively by downloading podcasts—some streaming apps let you download a limited number of files to play locally, and those could be used for headphone monitoring. But this probably didn’t contribute much to the app’s overall success.

Thanks for the reply. That's a pity. I'm surprised to hear that 'almost nobody listens to local files anymore'.
My use case was for mix checking. My hope was that I could just access local files in Sienna and then listen to them away from the studio. Uploading works-in-progress to streaming sites doesn't seem convenient to me. In fact, it doesn't seem particularly safe given the ongoing theft of people's work by AI music generation companies.

Would iOS allow Sienna to access .wavs or whatever locally from their 'Files' app? It seems like it could be a simple solution.

Sounds like I'm in a small minority trying to avoid Apple Music, Spotify and what have you, but I'm glad to hear that AA are still developing the app.

Cheers, N

The IOS app could be really cool, but I found the Dropbox Thing was a drag. i have lots of .wavs of my own music in my Files app and it would be great to be able to play them in the Sienna app.

Use VST2 or symlink.

The majority of my listening is from local files, so I would love to see a more developed Sienna iOS app.

Totally. I would think the Dropbox option is useful for collaborative projects - I guess that was their rationale. But I'm sure Bluetoothing mixes to your phone to check via Sienna would be more popular.

You're advertising Thing 8 for 109 euro in the Easter sale, however it shows up as 129 euro when added to cart.

Sure, even the option to browse the files already on the device would be welcome.

There is one, that is what I am writing about.
