Listen Mini 64 bit beta

Lately, I have received lots of requests for 64-bit versions of old plugins. Every time such a request shows up I take a quick look to see if it would be possible to migrate or remake the plugin without spending too much time on it. To make everything work and look nice often takes too much time but it’s often not more than an hour or two to make working alpha builds. Last week I released such a version of MIDIVU and this week I made another one. Listen Mini will flatten the response of the Sennheiser HD650 headphones. It was a part of Listen 2.0 but a lot of people asked for a stripped-down version with just the HD650 flattening so I created Listen Mini. I used to use it every day but eventually sold my HD650 and that ended the use for me.

This version works as expected at 44.1 & 48, and 88.2 kind of works (gives the right curve but at the wrong level), but 96 and up is broken. To fix that I need to pay $150 in license fees for modules that I don’t own and I’m not going to do that as long as I don’t need those for other things (I don’t think Listen Mini will pay for that on its own). I don’t own a pair of HD650 anymore so I can’t test it other than just comparing the curves between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and that looks good. Please report if you run Windows and own a pair of HD650!

For now, I only built it for Windows since building it for Mac will need some research before I can do it. If anyone wants a Mac version let me know!
