Missing is a lazy answer. A plug-in may be installed, inside a Waves shell, or built into the DAW. Drop a session, or a WAV file, into UTUVO Scan. An easy session is three of three, ready to open. A harder one says five of six, one to install. Waves shell and Pro Tools built-in are not mislabeled as missing. Scan also catches the WAV file that would split into A1 and A2. It names the cause: an iXML chunk. Save a Pro Tools-friendly copy, or fix the batch. Originals stay untouched. Seven answers, not two.

Seven answers

The session stays closed. The answers come out.

Drop a supported session or a WAV into Scan. It separates exact bundle identity, installed, Waves shell, DAW built-in, name-matched, different version and missing instead of collapsing them into one guess.

A1 / A2

Fix the copy. Leave the audio alone.

For the supported iXML case, Scan removes the iXML chunk while preserving audio, format and BEXT timecode. It writes a Pro Tools-friendly copy and leaves the original untouched.

Originals untouched

One file or a batch, the decision stays visible.

Review each supported WAV verdict, then write corrected copies beside the source. Scan does not claim to repair RF64 or every audio file automatically.

What Scan does not claim

Precision is part of the product.

  • 128 MB in-memory limit for the supported WAV inspection path.
  • No RF64 fixer, and no promise that every file is automatically repaired.
  • No release, price, purchase or download status is declared on this product page.

Questions with bounded answers.

Does Scan replace the source file?

No. Scan writes a Pro Tools-friendly or batch copy and keeps the original untouched.

Does a missing result always mean the plug-in is absent?

No. Scan separates installed, Waves shell, DAW built-in, name-matched, different version and truly missing cases.

Does Scan fix every WAV?

No. The A1 / A2 workflow is for the supported iXML case. RF64 and automatic repair of every file are outside this page.

How does the 30-day trial work without a card?

Download and open the app to evaluate all features for 30 days. No credit card or account is required. The trial does not turn into an automatic charge; purchasing is a separate decision.

Does a perpetual licence include every future version?

It includes the major version you purchase and every update released within that major version. A future major version may be a separate optional one-time purchase or may be free. It is never charged automatically. If you buy within 30 calendar days before a new major becomes available, that new major is included at no charge.

I replaced my Mac. How do I move my licence?

Open the app on the old Mac, go to Settings and deactivate the licence there, then enter the same key on the new Mac. No email needed, and a licence covers 3 of your own Macs. Deactivate while the old Mac still has a network connection: if it is offline at that moment the app clears the licence locally but the seat can stay held on our side, and support@utuvo.app can release it for you.

Which macOS version is required? Does it run on Intel?

The current download requires macOS 13.0 or later · Apple Silicon only. Apple Silicon only; no Intel or Windows build. Try it on your working Mac before deciding to buy.

How do the 30-day trial and 14-day refund period differ?

The 30-day full-feature trial is for evaluation before purchase. The 14-calendar-day no-reason refund period begins separately on the purchase date, so trial days do not reduce it. After 14 days, a simple change of mind is generally not refundable, while transaction errors, activation failure, nonconformity and statutory remedies remain covered.

How do I request a refund or get support?

Email support@utuvo.app. Within 14 days of purchase you can request a full refund without giving a reason; include your order number or licence key, or use the link in your order confirmation email. For a product issue, include the app version, macOS version and steps to reproduce it.

Will offline use or a verification outage stop my paid app?

No. After a paid licence is successfully activated, it continues to work offline on that device. A network or verification-service failure alone cannot deactivate it. If the verification service permanently ends, we will provide a free way for lawful perpetual-licence holders to continue using, reinstalling and activating on a replacement compatible Mac within their device count.

Micky Yang working at the mixing console in his studio

These tools come from someone who uses them to deliver every day.

UTUVO is built by one person: Micky Yang.

He's a Tonmeister with 1,600+ Mandopop songs mixed in Dolby Atmos, four Golden Melody Awards for recording, and he teaches recording at university. Most tools are what engineers imagine recordists need. UTUVO is what a recordist built because he couldn't stand the existing ones.

  • 4× Golden Melody Awards (Taiwan's Grammys) for recording
  • Apple Music made him an official engineer playlist: "Micky Yang: The Engineers"
  • Game scores: NetEase's Onmyoji, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened
  • 1,000+ Chinese pop string sessions
