I'm often asked for advice on the ideal computer for using MB STUDIO and MB STUDIO VIDEO. It's not easy to answer because the hardware on sale is constantly changing, and new isn't necessarily better than old. My advice is to not buy an Intel CPU. Instead, buy these components and have them assembled by a technician; it will cost you less and work better. Here are some components I currently use that work very well. This isn't the fastest computer you can get, but it's the best value for money.
MB STUDIO version 8.81.3 available
Compared to the previous version:
With the introduction of new synthetic voice technology from ElevenLabs, OpenAI TTS, Inworld TTS, Gemini TTS, and Google Cloud TTS, MB STUDIO 8.80 is the last version of MB STUDIO to support the legacy Windows SAPI synthetic voices.
Starting with MB STUDIO 8.81, the legacy Windows SAPI synthetic voices are no longer usable.
Due to the evolution of the mpv, ffmpeg, gstreamer, etc. video libraries, I can no longer maintain compatibility for the video plugin on Windows 10. Therefore, MB STUDIO 8.80 is the last version of MB STUDIO in which the video plugin works on Windows 10.
Starting with MB STUDIO 8.81, Windows 11 is required for the video plugin to function correctly.
No problem for those who don't use the video plugin; the audio portion continues to work without problems even on Windows10.
