IMPORTANT NOTEs:

=================================

Mono-To-Stereo mode on Mono tracks are NOT supported at this time.  Please do not insert Aether on mono tracks or attemp to use the Mono-TO-Stereo version.  Aether should only be used on Stereo tracks, in Stereo-To-Stereo mode.  If you are working with mono audio tracks, we advise to use Aether on a Stereo aux/send/bus and route signal to Aehter using sends.

There is currently a GUI bug with using text entry via keyboard in open text-edit boxes. You may see this issue when first entering your Serial Number to authorize the product, and also when you text enter knob values.  This issue manifests itself in the following way:

* Artifacts may appear in a form of shifted text cursor that appears above the edit box 
* The text entry edit box itself may not be visible upon the initial double-click until you start typing or perform another single-click following the initial double-click action

NOTE: this is only a minor GUI artifact and it does not indicate that something is going wrong inside the DSP algorithm. We will try to fix this as soon as possible.

=================================

Digidesign/Avid ProTools RTAS format does not support reporting the real-time/offline bouncing mode to plug-ins, so Aether cannot automatically invoke offline rendering settings when bouncing. Thus if you would like to render your tracks using the ultra-high quality offline settings, please turn on the 'Force Offline' switch in every instance of Aether before bouncing. 

This will temporarily create excessive CPU usage and Pro Tools may become sluggish to user input.  This state only needs to be endured long enough to initiate the bounce. Upon completion of the bounce, return the switch to the normal "Auto" position for all instances.

Note that the Offline Interpolation settings of "2 Perfection" and "3 Obsession" will result in significant bounce times.  These settings offer EXTREME fidelity which is generally most suited to audiophile-grade projects.  They are NOT required for normal plug-in usage, and the level of fidelity is excessive for standard 16-bit audio CDs and all MP3 or AAC format releases.  We give the customer the option make these choices for themselves. Please do not feel required to use these settings at all times simply because we offer them as options.  Please consult the PDF manual for additional details.
