Enhancements:

• Added VST Time Info support for tempo syncing VST synth plugins to the TimeLine.
• Added the ability to read 32 bit floating point wav files directly and also expanded the wav parser code to accept the same basic SAWStudio wav formats that have been saved with the new Microsoft "Extensible" flag, by other programs.
• Added the ability to read 16, 20, and 24 bit mono and stereo .aif and .aiff files directly.
• The File View has been enhanced.
• A slight change has been made to import and auto-drag-and-drop region names.
• A new option has been added to the File Menu called Extract Session. This option will extract all components of a session from the Mark Begin to the Mark End position (or the entire session if there is no marked area) into a new session folder and edl file.
• The Master/Slave relationship has been enhanced to properly handle SRP and Record Mode sync.
• Extended the A-Key (Automation Mode Toggle) and the O-Key (Offset Mode Toggle) to all mixer views.
• Enhanced the Wide Mixer View to allow stable placement on the secondary monitor of a dual monitor configuration.
• The popup Locate Menu has been enhanced. You can now Set, Clear and Rename Locate Points from the popup menu.
• Enhanced the Cue Location feature. The Cue Location dialogs will now popup even when playback is active.
• New code has been added to activate a complete forced Engine Shutdown to hopefully allow you to recover from most driver or audio engine lockup conditions.
• Default settings for the Aux Sends and the XY Center and XY Sub have been altered to drop to inf.
• Active Control ReadOut Zones have been enhanced for quicker control operation.
• MultiTrack Tab will now function in Live Input Mode.
• A new option has been added to the Mixer Menu called Mixer Hot Channel Color.
• Enhanced some of the device assignment error messages to designate the troubled device or track.
• A new enhancement has been added to Automation Mode. Right-Clicking the Aut button displays a popup filter menu of every automation data type.
• A new option has been added to the Automation Menu called Disable Automation.
• The L-Key Live Mode Toggle has been extended to work in the MultiTrack View also.
• A new option has been added to the Driver Model submenu called Record LoopBackLatency Adjust. This can be used to compensate for latency values resulting from a loopback recording through your soundcard and converter chain.
• The Phase Switch has been enhanced to now include phase reversal on both channels of a stereo track or just the Left or Right channels only.

Video Track Viewer Version 2.7:

• Added special routines to detect and use the MainConcept Mpeg codecs and Ulead Mpeg Codecs for decoding mpeg2 formats, and the CyberLink QuickTime DirectShow Source Filter, from the QuickTime alternative program files, to help decode numerous QuickTime formats directly in the viewer.
• Modified code to allow the Conversion routines to detect and handle the new codec formats added above.
• Added code to access multiple firewire devices with the same name.
• Modified the overlay code used to adjust for changes in Dx 9 that can cause overlay output to lock to hardware clocks slowing frame rates internally down to exact hardware output speeds.
• A new option has been added to the Options Menu called Overlay Render Size. This option controls the size of the internal overlay renders with the new code.

Fixes:

• Trapped Plugin param data buffers that are larger than the internal max buffer size from crashing edls and Mix Templates.
• Modified routines to allow patching plugins live during playback that are slow to initialize without causing buffer overruns or crashes.
• Modified code to help popup ASIO control panels for certain ASIO drivers that would not react to SAWStudio's ASIO Driver Setup function.
• Corrected code that could cause sustained waveforms to cut off prematurely under certain buffering conditions and certain eq settings.
• Adjusted code to handle auto stopping at the end of the session even if there are channels that are unassigned to a valid output.
• Fixed MT Cursor from disappearing after moving the MultiTrack window.
• Adjusted Dual Monitor Dialog/Msg Box positioning to keep dialogs from starting offscreen.
• Eliminated crashes that could occur when grabbing knob controls when the top range of knob motion is off the top of the channel view by trapping the ability to grab the knob under these conditions.
• Recall Dynamics From Memory Cell now correctly sets the Reverse Gate switch.
• Saving and recalling Record Meter Templates will now work correctly even with re-ordered tracks in the MultiTrack.
• The Automation display is now correctly updated when using the R command to split and remove MT entry data that may have contained automation entries.
• Fixed code to properly draw region waveform displays with active softedges when Region Memory Caching is turned ON.

Eq PlugIn Module Version 1.8:

• Corrected code that could cause sustained waveforms to cut off prematurely under certain buffering conditions and certain eq settings.

Video Track Viewer Version 2.7:

• Corrected code to fix capture problems with Type 1 DV files.
