What's Included in Pro Tools HD 8.0.1 for Windows?

• In certain scenarios, control surfaces with scribble strips would flash a false "Dialog On Screen" message.
  

• When WAV or AIFF files were exported from Pro Tools 8, the User and/or Original time stamp appear as 00:00:00:00 rather than reflecting the actual time stamp.
  

• When recording video with AVoption|V10, Avid Mojo, or Mojo SDI, the video record pass stopped prematurely if pre roll was enabled. The record pass would stop early by roughly the amount of the pre roll.
  

• Pro Tools 8cs2 introduced an issue where you could no longer use the Zero numeric key keyboard shortcut to start or stop playback while the Workspace Browser was open.
  

• With MachineControl enabled and Transport = Machine, Pro Tools would display the message, "Error Cueing Machine" when attempting to preview audio via the File>Import dialog, Regions List, or via the Workspace Browser.
  

• Intermittently, Pro Tools could emit noise and become sluggish on Windows systems in which TDM and RTAS plug-ins were combined on the same track(s) and a HW Buffer Size of 512 samples or less was used.
  

• When trying to enable the Axiom Pro with Pro Tools 8 running in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Korean languages, Pro Tools would crash.
  

• The JL Cooper CS-10 control surface was not recognized by Pro Tools 8.
  

• Attempting to view Send Mute automation view by selecting Cmd + Ctrl + Sends Mute on D-Control or D-Command displays the Rename dialog instead of Send Mute automation.
  

• In some workflows with Destructive Punch, Pro Tools would intermittently post the dialog, "Pro Tools is critically low on memory. Please save your session and re-launch Pro Tools (-9006)" when the system was sitting idle. Pro Tools would then need to be rebooted.
  

• When scrolling vertically or horizontally in Pro Tools 8, performance was sluggish compared to previous versions. Scrolling performance is now improved in Pro Tools 8.0.1.
  

• This could occur in some circumstances on Pro Tools|HD systems running TDM plug-ins if Use DSP Cache was enabled in the System Usage window.
  

• Field Recorder files with names that exceed 31 characters get truncated when importing into Pro Tools from the Workspace Browser.
