RML Labs has released SAWStudio and SAWStudio Lite Version 5.0, which is now available for immediate download free to registered users.
Enhancements:
- Enhanced the track count to 120 tracks (Full) and 48 tracks (Lite). When loading existing edls, the extra tracks will be found at the end after the last output track. Reset the track order or move the new tracks into position at the end of the input tracks if desired, then re-save the session.
- Enhanced the recording capabilities to extend up to 80 (Full) and 40 (Lite) record tracks when using the SACLink. Each record meter can handle mono or stereo signals from SAC.
- Cleaner display switching between SAC and SAWStudio.
- The Full Mixer labels now display in upper and lower case rather than being forced to all upper case characters.
- Added a new option to the Options Menu called TCP/IP Slave To Host Disable Warning Messages. This option blocks any warning message dialogs from being sent from TCP/IP Slaves to the Host when active. This then allows a single slave machine to have trouble loading a session without stopping the host and other slaves from continuing on in a Show Control setup while waiting for a message dialog reply. This option saves with the preferences.
- Added code to allow MIDI control processing for VST Plugins that support it and are not classified as VST Synths.
- A new menu keyboard link has been added to the Main Menu to allow a keyboard switch to SAC thru the SACLink with a press of the Alt-Key and then the L-Key.
- The TCP/IP Options have been gathered under a sub-menu called TCP/IP Options on the Options menu.
- The Wide Mixer View in the Full Version can now be sized and vertically scrolled to fit onto smaller netbook size screen resolutions.
- When the program is started for the first time or after the default F-key file has been cleared, F-Keys will now be automatically generated to fit the screen resolution. You can save these as the default F-Keys, or use them as a starting template to be modified and then saved as your own. I recommend you look at each one and consider using them as a guide to creating useful ones of your own.
- A new enhancement has been added to the Extract Session feature which will prompt you to automatically move the extracted session start position to zero on the TimeLine. If you answer Yes, the entire session will be slipped forward to the zero TimeLine position before it is saved. Use this option if you have no reason to keep the session start position offset within the master session TimeLine.
Eq Plugin Version 3.2:
- Added a new option to the Options menu called Clear Preferences, which clears the preference file and resets the plugin to its default behavior.
Echo Plugin Version 3.2:

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed code to allow the SACLink to work correctly with SACRemote.
- Fixed code to center the MT cursor position in SAWStudio when switching from SAC.
- Modified code to eliminate Windows memory management issues when repeatedly opening and closing sessions, such as when using the Show Control View. Memory no longer gets fragmented easily which helps eliminate memory allocation errors when new sessions open.
- Fixed code to properly sync a slave connection activated while the host is sitting idle in a preload waiting condition.
- Modified code to handle higher performance Counter Frequencies that are now starting to appear on the newer i5 and i7 motherboards. All Performance Counter math is now handled completely in 64 bit math variables. This assures the accuracy of the CPU load percentage readout on these newer faster motherboards.
- Fixed code to properly handle and display the 4 decimal place value for VariSpeed.
- Fixed code to trap for false value jumps on popup fader activation by accident when mouse-click release is held long enough to release just as the popup fader is beginning to display.
- Fixed code to trap for possible divide by zero errors in the fader display scaling routines.
- Fixed code to trap for the X key softedge function on Return and Output tracks.
- Fixed code to toggle the VSTTimeInfo play flag correctly with the engine status.
- Fixed code to eliminate meter and monitor delay on SF record with any input device higher than device 1.
- Fixed code to softclip and avoid wrap-around on recording when using the input level adjust and pushing the signal to clipping.
- Fixed code to properly chase Peak Limit meter display in SoundFile View as the cursor is manually swept through the file.
- Fixed code to jump cursor position to the end of the track after a Library add selections to HotTrack operation.
- Fixed code to properly display mono L/R input source settings when recalling stored chan data from the popup Store/Recall menu functions.
- Fixed code to properly jump the HotChan when using the Ctrl-Left-Arrow and Ctr-Right-Arrow commands in the Full and Zoom Mixers.
- Fixed code to properly update the DirX and VST window views after a shade change.
- Fixed code to lock automation entries on the end boundary when stretching or shrinking an automation marked area.
- Fixed code to allow MIDI Control Templates that include a Master Fader to properly follow re-ordered Out channels and stay locked to Out Chan 1.
Eq Plugin Version 3.2:

- Fixed code to stop host paramset corruption when canceling a load preset operation on a remote.
