What's Included in Pro Tools M-Powered 8.0cs3 for Windows?

• Elastic regions that are the same length as the original audio file may be deleted from disk after performing "select unused" and then "remove unused" files.
  

• If a session was saved with the Tempo Editor visible but the Tempo ruler hidden, opening that session and then showing the Tempo ruler may cause a crash.
  

• Pro Tools may crash when selecting leftover playlists after the previous parent track has been deleted.
  

• When launching Pro Tools or accessing the Peripherals dialog without an Ethernet cable connected to the computer, an error message is posted: "No valid network adapter is available for Video Satellite connections."
  

• Audio data, e.g. guide tracks, imported from certain QuickTime movies may play back at half speed.
  

• With several hundred audio regions on a track, switching to X-Form as the Elastic Audio algorithm may cause low memory errors and lead to a crash.
  

• Preview and/or rendering performance with X-Form on Elastic Audio tracks is improved in 8.0cs3 (compared to 8.0).
  

• Using the Time Shift Varispeed preset (PAL to Film -4%) will result in a file that drifts over time and runs out of sync with picture.
  

• Certain sessions created in Pro Tools 7.4.x may not open in Pro Tools 8 due to a "bus error in main thread" error message.
  

• Certain sessions cannot be opened due to the following error: "Could not complete your request because out_of_range: Cmn_PolyVectorImpl::At"
  

• After a record pass using Destructive Punch, there may be a waveform present but no audio recorded to disk.
  

• Repeatedly clicking the Process button in AudioSuite plug-ins, i.e. 3-5 times in a row, may result in -7101 errors. Both local and networked storage, e.g. Unity Medianet, is affected.
  

• If one targeted MIDI Editor window is already open, using Start+= to open another MIDI Editor window would display the following error: "Could not complete the MIDI Editor command because an unknown exception occurred at address: 0x... in module: ProTools.dll."
  

• When working with a hyperthreading-enabled processor, Pro Tools does not allow selection of the number of RTAS processors in the Playback Engine dialog.
  

• After changing the session start time and maintaining time code, Pro Tools will delete additional playlists and crash with a kernel panic after saving and closing the session. You may see any of the following errors prior to the crash: "Could not complete the close session command because basic_string::_S_create" or "Bus error" in thread "Main Thread", at address 0x0."
  

• Moving (dragging) an automated plug-in from inserts F-J to inserts A-E while the automation lane for one of the plug-in's parameters is visible may crash Pro Tools.
  

• Writing automation to one plug-in located on inserts F-J will cause the same automation data to be written to all other plug-ins located on insert F-J on the same track. Previously existing automation will be overwritten (or erased if the "Plug-In Controls Default to Auto-Enabled" preference is checked) after saving, closing and reopening the session.
  

• Saving a session copy with sample rate conversion to a rate different from the session's may result in erroneous automation ramps between breakpoints. This is mostly evident in scenarios where a static automation level had been changed over the duration of a single region.
  

• Removing a file from the Pro Tools region list or project browser may crash Pro Tools if another audio file with the same name is already used by Transfuser.
  

• Changing the channel width by inserting a mono-to-stereo plug-in to a mono track will remove a downstream mono plug-in (and all its automation data) that resides on underlying insert slots without warning.
