What's Included in Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4.2cs3 for Mac OS X?



Fixed: Converting sample rate during Save Copy In or Import Session Data adversely affects volume automation (Item #111930)
  • 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.

Fixed: Problems moving multiple selected regions (Item #99538)
  • If you selected several adjacent regions, clicking on one of them to move all selected regions will only move the region you clicked on.

Fixed: Incorrect multi-track audio import from QuickTime movies (Item #102279)
  • Multi-track QuickTime movies import into Pro Tools 7.4 with each audio track containing a mix of all tracks, rather than individual tracks.


Included from 7.4.2cs2:

Fixed: Volume Breakpoints at "- inf" Could Change to Full Volume When Manually Trimming Automation (Item #104551)
  • This could occur when trying to trim breakpoints at minus infinity down a few dB

Fixed: Pro Tools and Reason Crash When Loading "Machine" Patches on Reason Adapted Combinator (Item #106627)
  • Only occurs in Reason Adapted, and does not occur when Reason Adapted is operated without Pro Tools


Included from 7.4.2cs1:

Fixed: The following error is generated when selecting a 256 + comment in the Workspace: "The value contained too many characters; previous value substituted". (Item #100604)

Fixed: Attempting to Drag and Drop Files Containing iXML metadata from the Workspace Browser Would Result in No Import, and Assertion Errors (Item #100723)
  • The assertion errors would occur when attempting to subsequently save the session
  • Previous workaround was to use File > Import > Audio instead of drag and drop from the Workspace

Fixed: Despite Changing the Fade Shapes in the Fade Dialog, Fade-ins and Fade-outs Always Conformed to the Last Created Fade In and Out (Item #100913)

Fixed: WAV Files Containing Non-English Characters Are Not Visible In Pro Tools 7.4.2, and Can Be Corrupted if Edited (Item #100502)
  • Although the file comments are invisible in the DigiBase comments field, clicking in that field will delete all of the comments
  • This only affects non-BWF WAV files
  • This CS version restores the visibility of WAV file comments, as long as the field wasn't clicked in using earlier versions of Pro Tools 7.4.2

Fixed: Only the First 16 MIDI Inputs Are Available In The MIDI Input Enable Window (Item #76712)
  • Window cannot be resized, scroll bar doesn't access other MIDI inputs

Fixed: The ProFire 2626 is not displaying I/O properly in the I/O Setup window. (Item #101255)
  • Note: If the I/O Setup does not show all Analog, Optical, and S/PDIF input labels after updating to 7.4.2cs3, launch the ProFire 2626 Setup Application via Hardware Setup to refresh the I/O Setup.
