Digidesign and Waves Announce Interim Releases of DAE and Waveshell
 
Digidesign and Waves Announce Interim Releases of DAE and Waveshell
September 3, 1999

Digidesign and Waves are pleased to announce the release of Digidesign DAE version 3.4.2 f9 and ks Waves Waveshell version 2.8. These are interim releases of these products that are the result of intensive cooperation between these two partners. Working together, DAE 3.4.2 f9 and Waveshell 2.8 will address DSP memory management problems that users of Pro Tools|24 MIX and Waves TDM Plug-Ins have been experiencing. Specifically, this dual intermediate release will address the DAE memory overflow that may occur, typically in larger Pro Tools Sessions in which many Plug-Ins are instantiated, when a session is closed and reopened and DSP memory shuffling is performed. Both companies note that these interim releases are made to address this problem specifically, and that not all compatibility issues between Digidesign and Waves products will be addressed by this release.

"The partnership between Digidesign and Waves is essential, since the Waveshell and Waves TDM Plug-Ins are a Development Partner solution of choice for so many Pro Tools Users," says Ed Gray, Manager of Digidesign's Developer Program. "It's gratifying to see Digidesign and Waves work to diagnose what proved to be a complex technical issue, and to quickly solicit testing and feedback from our mutual users." Orly Nesher, Director of Sales & Marketing at Waves added, "We are very happy to be offering this interim release of Waveshell along with DAE and know it will be immediately useful to an important group of our key mutual customers. We look forward to cooperating with Digidesign as our two high-end product lines continue to evolve and improve."

DAE error 7452 in the Gain Audio Suite Plug-In when trying to use "find peak."
This is a problem that occurs in the Gain Plug-In version 1.3.1. It is triggered by setting the Plug-In to "overwrite files" and then pressing the process button. If you cancel when it asks you if you want to do a destructive process, this error will come up the next time you hit "find peak".

To reset the Plug-In, switch to another Plug-In and then back again.
