Pro Tools HD 7.2.1cs1 Update for Apple Mac Pro
 
Pro Tools HD 7.2.1cs1 Update for Apple Mac Pro
October 26, 2006

For Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools|HD Accel Systems with Pro Tools HD 7.2.1
  • For HD Systems on Intel-based Mac OS X 10.4 Only
  • This update will not work without Pro Tools HD 7.2.1 already installed

What's Fixed in Pro Tools HD 7.2.1cs1?



Pro Tools HD 7.2.1cs1 for Mac OS X contains the following:

Fixed: Unintentional Timeline Selections Could Be Made While Editing (Item #76606)
  • This could occur when immediately moving the mouse/trackball after unclicking.
Fixed: "Auto-Write On Stop" Modes Could Improperly Overwrite Data (Item #82271)
  • "Auto-Write On Stop" mode (to start, to all/selection, to end) would affect any automation write, even if it had been automatched out.
Fixed: Original Timestamps of Imported Avid .WAV Files Would Be Reset Upon a Subsequent Session Opening (Item #81997)
  • This bug would not occur if the audio had valid soundroll timestamps in the Avid source bin.
  • This bug would prevent the automatic matching features of field recorder workflows in Pro Tools.
Fixed: Updating HD Interface Firmware With DigiTest on Intel-based Mac OS X Leaves the Interface Unrecognizable (Item #82896)
  • A data verification error is returned, and Pro Tools will no longer recognize the interface when launching Pro Tools.
Fixed: Embedded OMF Sequences Can Play Back Incorrectly (Item #82926)
  • When the OMF file had been set to "Read only" on Windows or "locked" on Mac, every region played the same audio data. Attempting to re-import the OMF after the session was opened resulted in a message, "Some regions were truncated or removed from the region list or timeline because they referred to files which are too short."

Who Should Use Pro Tools HD 7.2.1cs1?



This update is recommended for all Pro Tools HD 7.2.1 for Intel-based Mac users and contains fixes in the following areas:
  • Editing
  • Automation
  • Field Recorder workflows
  • DigiTest
  • Importing embedded OMF sequences
Pro Tools HD 7.2.1cs1 is provided as an interim "customer support (CS)" release to address the issues described. While our testing has not shown these changes to introduce other problems, this version has not been fully qualified by Digidesign.

Including Systems with Avid Mojo, and Media Station|PT 1.8.2

  • A subsequent Save, Save As, Save A Copy or Auto-Backup would result in an assertion.
Fixed: Relink Problems When Using Mtools, Soundminer, or NetMix to import files (Item #81138)

  • The relink problems would occur when re-opening the session
Fixed: Slow Lock Times With DoReMi Video Decks With "Transport=Pro Tools" (Item #80818)

Fixed: Expansion|HD - Occasional Crashing When Launching Pro Tools or While Working in a Session (Item #81941)
  • DAE errors -1140, -1141, -1146, -1151, -1156 and resultant crash could occur.
Fixed: Avid Video Clips Based on Still Images Could Be Truncated or Deleted when Opening Older Sessions. (Item #82082)

    short" would appear.

  • Sessions with video clips

Pro Tools HD 7.1cs9 for Mac OS X
 
Pro Tools HD 7.1cs9 for Mac OS X


The following warning is not included in the 7.1cs9 Read Me document. This issue was discovered after the release of Pro Tools 7.1cs9:
WARNING
In Pro Tools 7.1cs9, the session can not be saved after importing any MP3/MP4 files by dragging from the Workspace browser, desktop, or finder. Until we provide the fix in an upcoming CS release, the workaround is to avoid using drag and drop importing of MP3/MP4 files, and instead use "Import Audio to Track" or "Import Audio to Regions List".

About Pro Tools 7.1cs9



From the Pro Tools HD 7.1cs9 Read Me for Mac OS X:

For Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools|HD Accel Systems with Pro Tools HD 7.0 or 7.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") for PPC-based Macs Only

Including Systems with Avid Mojo, and Media Station|PT 1.8.2

Avid Mojo Users: Please see the information at the end of this document regarding the use of Avid Mojo with Power Mac G5 PCIe (PCI Express) models.

This update will not work without Pro Tools HD 7.0 or 7.1 for Pro Tools|HD or Pro Tools|HD Accel systems on Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") already installed.

What's Fixed in Pro Tools HD 7.1cs9?



Pro Tools HD 7.1cs9 for Mac OS X contains the following:

Fixed: Scrubbing a Track Containing a Hardware Insert on Insert 5 Will Cause Pro Tools to Unexpectedly Quit (Item #73176)

Fixed: Volumes With Japanese Naming Will Not Mount In DigiBase (Item #73463)

DVD, CD, and hard drive volumes with Japanese naming will not mount in DigiBase.

It was also not possible to create a Pro Tools session on a Japanese-named volume without getting an error.

Fixed: Scrubbing or Shuttling May Cause Expansion|HD To Go Offline, and for Pro Tools to Unexpectedly Quit (Items # 75844, 78034)

Messages included Communication errors and DAE -1140/-9161 errors.

Fixed: Appending to a Destructively-Recorded File Contained in a Previously Saved Session Could Cause Pro Tools To Be Non-Responsive (spinning wheel) (Item# 76555)

For this bug to occur, it was necessary to destructive record, save, close, and reopen the session, then destructive record/append to the same file.

Fixed: Potential Problems When Relinking Audio Files (Item #77061, #79230)

If DigiTranslator was not installed, Pro Tools would assign a new unique ID to a copy of an Avid audio file when using "Save A Copy." This was because Pro Tools required DigiTranslator to read Avid unique IDs.

Files without unique IDs imported into Pro Tools could not be later relinked if the file name had later been changed by the user from the Finder level.

Pro Tools will now function in the following way:
  • Automatically add a unique ID (as needed) to audio files when opening a session or importing audio.
  • Recognize Avid unique IDs, even when DigiTranslator is not installed.
Fixed: Some Automation Moves Could Be Written Incorrectly When Writing Immediately After A "Play" Command (Item#78032)

This could occur when touching a control immediately after a "play" command, but before the transport started moving.

Fixed: When Using Expansion|HD, Previewing in the Import Audio Dialog Could Cause a Crash (Item # 78042)

This problem was exacerbated by the use of RTAS reverbs on Aux tracks.

Fixed: Connecting or Reconnecting A Synchronizer To Pro Tools in Remote Mode Could Cause a Crash (Item # 78430)

This problem occurred in Pro Tools 7.1cs7 [More]
