Pro Tools HD v 8.1cs2
Oct 19, 2010
MacOS X Intel
* One can now successfully import duplicate tracks to a Pro Tools 8.1 session without encountering an error.
* One can now use the full set of language options provided by the OS when naming audio volumes.
* When any progress bar dialog is active, hiding Pro Tools until the progress bar finishes, then un-hiding Pro Tools makes Pro Tools think the progress bar dialog is still active. In this state Pro Tools appeared to be mostly unresponsive.
* Application failed to launch on OS X systems configured for Network Home Directories (i.e. Open Directory). In 8.1 (and 8.0.4), launching Pro Tools on a user account resulted in an assertion error when loading plug-ins, whereas in 8.0.3, Pro Tools crashed with "Pro Tools has unexpectedly quit" dialog.
* "Expand to New Tracks" now creates tracks muted, but with full metering functionality and audio playback.
* The stuttering of QuickTime playback was especially noticeable when manipulating the Pro Tools GUI during playback or having a video sync offset that wasn't divisible by four.
* This access violation no longer occurs.
* The Alt and Win keys can get into a state in which they appear to be pressed down all the time, with the only known solution to quit Pro Tools. On Windows XP, the problem is not eliminated but now it should be a simple matter of pressing the affected key once to disengage the "stuck" mode and return to normal operation. If some Pro Tools operations still appear unresponsive, wait 30 seconds until normal operation is restored.
* DSP Cache on/off switch is not accessible during playback. There is no need to toggle this parameter during playback as it only affects session close/open behavior.
* Pro Tools would crash or a runtime error would be encountered while using ZIO ADR Express with Pro Tools during recording to ISIS volume, or immediately after recording to ISIS volume while editing, undoing, or scrubbing.
* Moving the timeline selection markers during QP record would cause deletion of the file being recorded.
* DigiTrace files were being placed next to the Pro Tools application, but this path was not allowed for non-admin users. To fix this, .dlog files are written to a new location:
o Mac OS X: /Users/
o Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\
o Windows 7: \Users/

Fixed: Trimming grouped MIDI regions (Item #121347)
* Pro Tools could crash (Mac) or post an Access Violation (Windows) when trimming out a grouped MIDI region containing automation data. This has been resolved.
Fixed: Hang after clicking in certain fields in the Score Setup window (Item #121342)
* After clicking in the Below Title and Composer or Below Chord Symbols or Diagrams fields, Pro Tools would post the dialog, "This field requires values in the range of 5.00 and 999.00." Clicking OK would not close the window and the only option was to force quit.
Fixed: When a selection contains tracks in playlist view and an aux track, pasting crashes Pro Tools (Item #121356)
* Issue resolved where Pro Tools would crash in certain situations when copying and pasting in playlist view.
Fixed: Pro Tools wouldn't launch on Macs configured for Open Directory or Network Home Directories (Item #121361)

Fixed: Pro Tools is unable to import audio files from some CDs (Item #125667)
* Pro Tools is unable to import audio files with names containing the characters : or / from CDs which have been cataloged by iTunes. Dragging files from the CD to Pro Tools causes a crash, the Import Audio dialog does not allow you to select the files for import, and the Workspace browser doesn't display the CD at all.
Fixed: With a D-Command connected, some sessions could crash on open (Item #124058)
* With an ICON D-Command connected, some sessions could crash on open with a "Segmentation Fault" error. This issue did not affect ICON D-Control.
* In some cases, Pro Tools could hang indefinitely when relinking to missing files that had fade files attached.
* Resolved an issue in which Pro Tools could crash after using the Shift+S keyboard shortcut to repeatedly solo/un-solo a track.

Pro Tools HD v 8.0.3cs2
Apr 1, 2010
MacOS X Intel
Fixed: Hang after committing a relink command (Item #122000)
* In some cases, Pro Tools could hang indefinitely when relinking to missing files that had fade files attached
Fixed: In some cases when using Latch/Trim automation mode with ADC enabled, Pro Tools could mistakenly write automation to the end of the session (Item #121933)
* In sessions with automatic delay compensation enabled and greater than 500 samples of system delay, Pro Tools could intermittently write Latch/Trim automation to the end of the session instead of only writing to the stop point
Fixed: When writing plug-in automation in Latch mode, stopping the pass may cause Pro Tools to store different automation data than was being written while playing (Item #121997)
* In some cases, plug-in automation written in latch mode could contain an incorrect automation spike beyond the position where playback was stopped
Fixed: Lost Hardware Communication DAE -9161 error on session close (Item #120644)
* Pro Tools sessions could get into a bad state after experiencing a DAE -9161 Lost Hardware Communication error on session close
Fixed: 9-pin Remote Mode with session start times before 00:00:00:00 (Item #122003)
* When in 9-pin Remote Mode, Pro Tools does not play when the session start time is before 00:00:00:00, and playback is started anytime after 00:00:00:00. For example, this will occur if the session start is 23:59:00:00 and playback is started at 00:00:30:00
Fixed: Pro Tools is unable to import audio files from some CDs (Item #123245)
* Pro Tools is unable to import audio files with names containing the characters : or / from CDs which have been cataloged by iTunes. Dragging files from the CD to Pro Tools causes a crash, the Import Audio dialog does not allow you to select the files for import, and the Workspace browser doesn't display the CD at all.
Fixed: Pro Tools wouldn't launch on Macs configured for Open Directory or Network Home Directories (Item #3123)
* On Mac systems configured for Network Home Directories (i.e. Open Directory), Pro Tools would post "Pro Tools has unexpectedly quit" error at launch. This has been resolved.
Fixed: Changing user on shared storage system while Pro Tools is launched does not update user access rights. Pro Tools must be relaunched for changes to be applied. (Items #122032, #57201)
* Previously, when changing users on a shared storage system (such as Avid Unity ISIS), Pro Tools would not update its user access privileges for workspaces until Pro Tools was relaunched. Thus, a user who should have read/write permissions on a given workspace may have read only access. This has been resolved.
* In some cases, Pro Tools could hang indefinitely when relinking to missing files that had fade files attached
Fixed: In some cases when using Latch/Trim automation mode with ADC enabled, Pro Tools could mistakenly write automation to the end of the session (Item #121933)

Pro Tools HD v 8.0.1cs1
Nov 12, 2009
MacOS X UB
* Resolved an issue in which using the "/" key (forward slash key from the numeric keypad) to exit the Start/End/Length fields after entering a value would cause the entered value to be ignored. This broke the workflow with several 3rd party conform applications, including but not limited to maggot conformalizer software and Virtual Katy software.
* Resolved an issue in which the ProControl channel matrix would not display all parameters
* In some cases, a satellite or Avid video track could incorrectly show edits that did not align with the original AAF sequence from Media Composer

Sep 24, 2009
MacOS X Intel
Avid/Digidesign is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a prerelease version of Pro Tools® software that provides expanded Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard compatibility to Pro Tools 8.0 users. Pro Tools 8.0.3pr software is provided as a convenience for Mac-based Pro Tools 8.0.x users who may wish to begin their transition to Snow Leopard before a fully tested and qualified version of Pro Tools becomes available.
Pro Tools HD v 8.0.1
Sep 1, 2009
MacOS X UB
* Occurred if the file path to the plug-ins (system drive name and/or sub-folders) exceeded 31 characters.
* In certain scenarios, control surfaces with scribble strips would flash a false "Dialog On Screen" message.
* In some cases, sessions that opened properly in Pro Tools 7.4.x would open in Pro Tools 8 (on a system with the same amount of DSP) with plug-ins deactivated.
* 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 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.
* When trying to enable the Axiom Pro with Pro Tools 8 running in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Korean languages, Pro Tools would crash.
* Scrubbing while Pro Tools is slaving to incoming LTC could cause Pro Tools to freeze or post an Assertion error.
* 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.
* 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.
* When importing an audio file that was created in Pro Tools 7.x into Pro Tools 8 via the Workspace browser, Pro Tools used the Clip name instead of the File name. This would not occur if importing via File>Import or dragging the file in from the Finder or Windows Explorer. This is resolved in Pro Tools 8.0.1. You must select the folder containing the audio files in the Workspace Browser and select Update Database for Selected before importing in order for this change to take affect.
* Field Recorder files with names that exceed 31 characters get truncated when importing into Pro Tools from the Workspace Browser.
Pro Tools HD v 7.4.2cs4

* 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.
* Pro Tools may intermittently crash during normal playback or recording workflows.
* 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.

* 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.
* If you selected several adjacent regions, clicking on one of them to move all selected regions will only move the region you clicked on.
* Multi-track QuickTime movies import into Pro Tools 7.4 with each audio track containing a mix of all tracks, rather than individual tracks.
* When assigning sends to a bus sub-path and using the "follow main pan" function, send pan automation may get stuck and not play back dynamically.
* Sessions containing many video regions may cause audio file import to take a long time. This affects importing from DigiBase or via drag and drop from the desktop and may cause delays of up to 10 seconds per file.
* Pro Tools systems with cards installed into the Digidesign Expansion|HD chassis may experience -12001, -9161, or -1140 errors indicating a loss of communication with the Expansion|HD chassis. A restart is required.

* 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.
* When assigning sends to a bus sub-path and using the "follow main pan" function, send pan automation may get stuck and not play back dynamically.
* When chasing time code and simultaneously playing back Avid video via Mojo or Mojo SDI hardware, setting pre-roll in Pro Tools will cause picture to be offset by the pre-roll amount. Additionally, video playback will stop before the end of the video clip.
* In certain cases sessions will not open due to the following error: "Could not complete the Open Session command because magic ID does not match while translating Session Window Config." This error is more likely to occur in tandem with very large track counts (~100) and long (>1 hour) recordings.
* Certain third party plug-ins such as Addictive Drums or UVI Workstation will not function correctly under Pro Tools 8. Mouse clicks are vertically offset and parts of the plug-in GUI will not draw correctly.
* Logic Pro 8.x will unexpectedly quit when attempting to record audio via Pro Tools hardware and DAE.

* 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.
* This fix is recommended for all users of Media Composer-based Video Satellite, Satellite Link, and Video Satellite LE
* When using Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher with Satellite Link or Video Satellite LE, all connected satellite systems must be running Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher.
* When using Media Composer-based Video Satellite with Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher, you must run Avid Media Composer 3.1.2 or higher.
* Pro Tools 8.0 cannot be connected as a satellite to other systems running Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher, or Media Composer 3.1.2 or higher.

Jun 4, 2008
MacOS X UB
The new Expand To New Tracks By Time Code Only feature lets you expand a track or selected region to new tracks, revealing all other regions recorded at the same time code location, regardless of channel name or number.
This feature is useful when expanding edited guide tracks to original source audio which was recorded while referenced to time code, but channel names or numbers were not written to the audio files. For example, when a live concert is recorded in Pro Tools, then a guide audio track is edited along with the video, then the edited guide track is returned to Pro Tools and needs to be expanded to the original source tracks for mixing.
Please see the "Expand to New Tracks by Time Code Only Read Me", included with the update and available separately below for important additional information, including:

The fader would "push back" and no automation would be written
If a plug-in window was closed from a control surface while the plug-in window was being dragged across the screen, Pro Tools would quit unexpectedly.
This problem was intermittent, and would not occur when using TDM versions of Dynamics III
The pan positions are correct on the first play of the selection, but can be incorrect on subsequent plays
Please note that there is still an outstanding issue where Surround Pan automation may stick on a particular output. Digidesign is currently working on a solution.

Dec 21, 2007
MacOS X UB
Functionality is now the same as in Pro Tools 7.3.x
This problem was intermittent, and would not occur when using TDM versions of Dynamics III
File names using an ellipsis (...) would cause the error, "Unable to create a new audio file on drive "xxx" for track "xxx" because I/O error (-36)."
This would occur after importing audio files from the Workspace Browser
This would occur with a session start time anywhere between 01 to 11 hours
Transients could be placed either before or after grid lines
Clicking on any Event marker will now raise its internal confidence rating to 100%, thus preventing the marker from being removed when the Event Sensitivity setting is lowered within the Elastic Properties window
This would usually occur when using extreme amounts of stretching
Quantizing a selected area could cause markers outside that selection to move

The "constrain" command (Control+Trimmer) would not work under certain editing situations involving overlap/underlap.
This only would occur with Delay Compensation disabled
The workaround was to shuffle paths in the I/O Setup, use another bus path, or reopen the session.
In some cases, having to force quit after getting Neo Assertion errors could cause all regions to be removed from a session.
Pro Tools would continue to play while the GUI was frozen, with intermittent plug-in automation and MIDI playback, and then unfreeze.
Pro Tools HD v 7.3.1cs4
Jul 26, 2007
MacOS X UB
Although this could occur while editing or recording over regions, the problem was most evident when QuickPunching over existing regions.
Audio files would not have a Unique ID assigned to them
An assertion, "FF AudioProperty.cpp, line 33" would be thrown when overviews were being calulated
Audio could be unreadable by Pro Tools
Note: The following problem has not yet been addressed. We expect this fix in a future version of Pro Tools:Pro Tools cannot access the time stamp information in Spot mode
After the play command, the Play and Stop buttons flash, but Pro Tools does not play.
Repeated attempts may result in a successful play
Note that Mojo SDI would switch to "internal sync" when changing the video format in Pro Tools
Note: The fix covers most, but not all cases of this bug
This could occur using HD1 or HD2 when recording a very high number of tracks

This would occur if the previewed audio was the result of a search. Note that clicking on the waveform was not problematic.
This could occur if the fader was moved without receiving a "touch on" and then touched properly.
Please Note: After installing Pro Tools 7.3.1cs2, the user must un-declare, then re-declare the ICON main units and fader packs to prompt the firmware update dialog. If the ICON firmware is not updated, the fix will not be installed.

As long as the session remained open, it would still playback correctly and with all playlists intact. The problem would not be observed until the session was closed and reopened.
Any AutoBackup files created would have the same problem when subsequently opened.
If the bounce duration exceeded the length of the video clip, the resulting movie would be stretched to fit the selection, resulting in a time-stretched picture.

Nov 17, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Pro Tools HD 7.2cs2 for Mac OS X contains the following:
Fixed: Reopening a Session Containing Video Files Could Cause Them To Be Overwritten (Item # 82397)
A problem with file name suffixes could cause a second video record pass to replace the first one after the session was reopened.
This would happen after recording to a "Save As," "Save A Copy" or to video tracks that had been imported to a new session, and then saving, closing, and reopening that session.
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: 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."
Fixed: Laying Back Audio Using MachineControl Will Engage Pre-Read Mode on a Sony DVW-500 (item #81478)
Note - this occurs when using "insert" mode in the MachineControl track arming window.
Fixed: After import of a 23.976 or 29.97 OMF or AAF, Regions Could Be Incorrectly Placed on the Timeline (Item #83338)
23.976 OMF was affected
3- and 4-perf 23.976 or 29.97 OMF and AAF were also affected
Fixed: Importing and Converting an MXF Audio File to WAV via Drag and Drop will Prevent Session from Being Saved (Item #83900)

From new VCA-style groups to pan grouping and plug-in parameter linking, Pro Tools HD 7.2 software is loaded with indispensable new features dedicated to improving your mixing workflow. New automation modes combine advanced features previously found only on high-end consoles with the power of Pro Tools, to deliver the most comprehensive and flexible automation system in the industry. And with additional new functionality designed to enhance operation with ICON worksurfaces—including VCA fader spill, two-knob surround panning, new jog wheel scrolling/zooming, and much more—Pro Tools HD 7.2 software provides music and post professionals with the best mixing tools on the market.
- Fully Integrated Digital Video
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software allows you to work with integrated video with the same renowned simplicity and elegance that has made Pro Tools the industry-standard digital audio workstation. Cut video along with audio using standard editing commands, create multiple video tracks and playlists within a single session, and bounce edited QuickTime or Avid video with audio as a QuickTime movie for fast review and approval. Pro Tools|HD 7.2 software also provides frame edge-aligned playback of all common QuickTime resolutions—including H.264—through Avid Mojo or AVoption|V10.
Most location sound today is captured on multi-channel disk-based field recorders, so replacing guide track audio with alternate source material in post has become commonplace. It is often time consuming and tedious. With enhanced metadata features including iXML support and new multi-channel matching functionality, Pro Tools HD 7.2 software dramatically simplifies this process for dialog editors. Switching to alternate channels becomes as simple as right-clicking on an audio region or selection: pick a channel by name and Pro Tools instantly creates a new region and rebuilds the crossfades.
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software transforms your Pro Tools|HD rig into a full-fledged, standalone dubber. The new DestructivePunch record mode allows for seamless punching into a contiguous "flat" file for each recorded track so you won't have to consolidate file fragments at the end of a session. With support for third-party paddle controllers, Pro Tools can easily replace aging standalone hardware dubber/stem recorders while giving you the benefit of a single, adaptable software environment.
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software now includes the new SignalTools suite of multi-channel metering and analysis tools, available in TDM and RTAS formats as part of the free DigiRack collection of Pro Tools plug-ins. SignalTools features a completely redesigned SurroundScope level metering tool, which boasts a simplified user interface, precision metering in a variety of international standards, plus Leq(A) measurement. You also get PhaseScope, an invaluable tool for visualizing phase relationships in stereo tracks or between any two streams in multi-channel audio.
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software introduces a new suite of menus and commands that are available through right-click mouse operation. Many edit commands and functions such as renaming paths without opening the I/O Setup are presented when objects are right-clicked in the User Interface. Fades can now be treated like audio regions and nudged or slipped independently from their parent region. This makes it possible to get the fade in the perfect place without trimming; crossfades can be split into fade-ins and fade-outs with a single command.

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.
Messages included Communication errors and DAE -1140/-9161 errors.
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.
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.
This could occur when touching a control immediately after a "play" command, but before the transport started moving.
This problem was exacerbated by the use of RTAS reverbs on Aux tracks.
This problem occurred in Pro Tools 7.1cs7 and 7.1cs8.
Network Home Directories are sometimes used to provide the same settings and files to users on multiple machines on a network. This fix allows the Library/Preferences Directories to be on a Network Home Directory instead of being required to be on the individual local system.

German, Norwegian, Swedish, and French/French Canadian characters were affected. DigiBase search criteria was also affected.
This would occur when the Machine Follows Edit Insertion/Scrub preference was enabled.
Pro Tools would not allow a session with a 2-hour start time to overlay automation data on a session with a 1 hour start time without clearing all automation before 2 hours on the destination session.
Automation cannot be "combined" with an overlay—the destination session's automation will be replaced from the Session Start time of the source session.
Inserts and sends must be consistent between sessions or they may be overwritten
This could occur with high track count sessions when using the surround mixer.
This could stop another 9-pin device in the system unnecessarily.
This change in behavior is activated only by the "Non-Linear Transport Error Suppression" preference.

The error posted was "Could not complete your request because Assertion in Cmn_Interval.cpp, line 210."
These errors could occur when performing "snapshot" automation changes across some or all parameters.
Pro Tools HD 7.1cs7 will only update the ReVibe plug-in if a previous installation of ReVibe is detected.
Error messages included "Waiting for Sync" or "Error Cueing Machine" when Pro Tools was controlling a non-linear video deck or a synchronizer.
A new preference has been added in the Machine Control preference pane for these configurations – "Non-linear Transport Error Suppression." Select this option to suppress these error messages.

When recording multiple tracks, files could be recorded out of sync with each other unless the Delay Compensation state had first been toggled on/off, or off/on.
When a file was renamed from the region list (using the menu command or double-clicking), the file suffixes would incorrectly change in both the timeline and the region list, but the file order would remain correct. Instead of renaming the audio files in the standard film format (L, C, R, Ls, Rs, LFE) the files were renamed as C, L, Rs, Ls, LFE, R.
If you then dragged a renamed file to the timeline, the suffixes would appear to be in order, but the files would be in the incorrect order.
This did not occur when renaming regions from the Timeline (or Playlist) by double-clicking with the grabber tool.
Copying from these fields was not possible if there was a time selection on a playlist or the timeline. This could also potentially affect some third party post applications that required the use of these fields.

Fixes a problem where if an on-screen play selection is created, and tempo is adjusted during playback, the selection area would stay the same length in samples (instead of musical time) and would not update to match the tempo.
This affected mTools, NetMix, some versions of Soundminer, and customers who used Apple Events to import audio into Pro Tools.
The fix requires removing the capability of auditioning audio files by dropping them on the Pro Tools application icon.
Fixed: Bouncing to a QuickTime Movie Would Sometimes Leave Out the Video (Item #65203)
This occurred when 2 or more processors were RTAS-enabled.
After an initially successful AAF/MXF import, reopening the session or previewing MXF audio files from Digibase could result in file corruption.
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs4
Feb 4, 2006

This would happen with a file name longer than 26 characters, as this could result in a file with more than 31 characters.
This would happen when attempting to bring up the Fades dialog if there was no underlying data to make the crossfade. Fade commands that do not bring up the Fades dialog would not cause the problem.
This could result in the recorded audio being shifted early incorrectly. Note that the same plug-ins on Auxiliary Inputs or audio tracks reported the proper amount of 0 samples and therefore did not exhibit this problem.
DAE 7.x would cause a freeze on startup when HTDM plug-ins were in the plug-ins directory
Even though Pro Tools would continue to function properly after an aborted firmware upgrade, the user would be reminded to update the firmware each time they declared D-Control in the Peripherals dialog.

Fixed: Destructive Record Could Intermittently Leave Out the Left Side of a Stereo Track (Item #71408)
This could happen when performing a bounded destructive record.
Fixed: When Using The Expansion|HD, Audio Tracks Could Get Out of Sync Alignment with Each Other (Item #71296)
This could occur in large sessions with a large number of RTAS plug-ins
Fixed: When Recording with the Expansion|HD, Audio Tracks Could Drop Out or Loop (Item #71697)
Dropouts or repeated audio could occur when recording or bouncing in a high track count session
Fixed: Automation Breakpoints Were Not Being Created in Some "Write" Mode Circumstances (Item #71130, 71131)
In "Write" mode, breakpoints were not being created on "start" and "stop," and also, when performing a "write to end" if no previous breakpoints existed on the playlist.
Fixed: On ICONs with Newer XMONs, Dim Could Become Stuck (Item #68289)
A dim that is applied to the cues when using talkback would sometimes not go away when talkback was disengaged

With a send assigned, banking the control surface could result in an "unexpected quit."
Previewing a crossfade or auditioning an existing crossfade in the Fades dialog results in clicks or no audio.
When using Groove Quantize as an edit operation or as Input Quantize, notes were being randomly moved.
This could occur when playback settings were changed, including the choice when opening a session to use the saved playback engine.
When recording using pre-roll, incorrect audio might be played back during the pre-roll period (only with Expansion|HD).
If an actual hardware problem existed (i.e. bad DSP), launching Pro Tools or Media Station could result in the reporting of a low memory condition, rather than reporting the failure to initialize the DSP hardware.
Pro Tools HD v 6.9.3cs1
Aug 24, 2005
MacOS X PPC
The "fine-tune breakpoint" Command key functionality has now been restored to the pre-Pro Tools 6.9 behavior. The key command for "Write Level Constrained to Next Breakpoint" (new to 6.9) has been changed from "Command-click" to "Option-Shift-click." The key command for "Write Level Constrained to Previous Breakpoint" remains "Command-Option-click."
The Tascam DA-98's servo lock bit behavior would cause Pro Tools to think the DA-98 was servo locked before it actually was. This would cause inconsistency when Pro Tools locked to serial timecode generated from a DA-98 or other devices with this same servo lock bit behavior.
This behavior is specific to the SSL Axiom, and would result in the record state of Pro Tools being toggled until a "stop" command was issued by the SSL Axiom.
This could happen more frequently after declaring an Edit Pack in the Peripherals dialog.
QuickTime, Jam, Safari, iMovie and other applications were affected.
While writing automation, a ProControl fader could lose communication with Pro Tools, resulting in no automation written for the time the lapse occurred.
If you have a 192 I/O or 96 I/O, and the interface firmware version is 4.3, you need to run the DigiTest firmware updater. If your 192 I/O or 96 I/O has firmware version 3.0, incorrect input gain on legacy peripherals will not occur, and you will not be able to update the firmware. This does not apply to the 96i, which does not have a legacy port.

The key command for "Write Level Constrained to Previous Breakpoint" remains "Command-Optionclick".
When using MachineControl with an External Time Code offset (in the fields labeled "Session Start Offsets" located in the Session Setup window), Pro Tools did not take the offset into account when performing an auto-edit on the 9-pin device.
The Tascam DA-98's servo lock bit behavior would cause Pro Tools to think the DA-98 was servo locked before it actually was. This would cause inconsistency when Pro Tools locked to serial timecode generated from a DA-98 or other devices with this same servo lock bit behavior.
This behavior is specific to the SSL Axiom, and would result in the record state of Pro Tools being toggled until a "stop" command was issued by the SSL Axiom.
This was the case when using either the control surface jog wheel or the "Shuttle" Numeric Keypad Mode.

* One can now successfully import duplicate tracks to a Pro Tools 8.1 session without encountering an error.
* One can now use the full set of language options provided by the OS when naming audio volumes.
* When any progress bar dialog is active, hiding Pro Tools until the progress bar finishes, then un-hiding Pro Tools makes Pro Tools think the progress bar dialog is still active. In this state Pro Tools appeared to be mostly unresponsive.
* Application failed to launch on OS X systems configured for Network Home Directories (i.e. Open Directory). In 8.1 (and 8.0.4), launching Pro Tools on a user account resulted in an assertion error when loading plug-ins, whereas in 8.0.3, Pro Tools crashed with "Pro Tools has unexpectedly quit" dialog.
* "Expand to New Tracks" now creates tracks muted, but with full metering functionality and audio playback.
* The stuttering of QuickTime playback was especially noticeable when manipulating the Pro Tools GUI during playback or having a video sync offset that wasn't divisible by four.
* This access violation no longer occurs.
* The Alt and Win keys can get into a state in which they appear to be pressed down all the time, with the only known solution to quit Pro Tools. On Windows XP, the problem is not eliminated but now it should be a simple matter of pressing the affected key once to disengage the "stuck" mode and return to normal operation. If some Pro Tools operations still appear unresponsive, wait 30 seconds until normal operation is restored.
* DSP Cache on/off switch is not accessible during playback. There is no need to toggle this parameter during playback as it only affects session close/open behavior.
* Pro Tools would crash or a runtime error would be encountered while using ZIO ADR Express with Pro Tools during recording to ISIS volume, or immediately after recording to ISIS volume while editing, undoing, or scrubbing.
* Moving the timeline selection markers during QP record would cause deletion of the file being recorded.
* DigiTrace files were being placed next to the Pro Tools application, but this path was not allowed for non-admin users. To fix this, .dlog files are written to a new location:
o Mac OS X: /Users/
o Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\

* In some cases, Pro Tools could hang indefinitely when relinking to missing files that had fade files attached
Fixed: In some cases when using Latch/Trim automation mode with ADC enabled, Pro Tools could mistakenly write automation to the end of the session (Item #121933)
* In sessions with automatic delay compensation enabled and greater than 500 samples of system delay, Pro Tools could intermittently write Latch/Trim automation to the end of the session instead of only writing to the stop point
Fixed: When writing plug-in automation in Latch mode, stopping the pass may cause Pro Tools to store different automation data than was being written while playing (Item #121997)
* In some cases, plug-in automation written in latch mode could contain an incorrect automation spike beyond the position where playback was stopped
Fixed: Lost Hardware Communication DAE -9161 error on session close (Item #120644)

Fixed: 9-pin Remote Mode with session start times before 00:00:00:00 (Item #122003)
* When in 9-pin Remote Mode, Pro Tools does not play when the session start time is before 00:00:00:00, and playback is started anytime after 00:00:00:00. For example, this will occur if the session start is 23:59:00:00 and playback is started at 00:00:30:00
Fixed: Exporting the same sequence more than once from Pro Tools back to Interplay can cause Pro Tools to hang or the sequence to become corrupted (Item #3097)
* When exporting the same sequence more than once from Pro Tools back to Avid Interplay, Pro Tools could either hang, or the sequence would become corrupted. When the sequence is corrupted, Media Composer would post the following error when attempting to import or update the sequence, "A request for data from the asset manager is taking a long time to complete".
Fixed: After Pro Tools has checked in audio tracks to a sequence in Interplay, the resulting Video Master clips do not link to Archived media (Item #47825)
* If clips in Media Composer are archived to Avid Interplay Archive, and a sequence containing those clips are then checked into Interplay for Pro Tools, and then checked back out of Pro Tools into Interplay, the new resulting master clips from Pro Tools are not linked to the original clips on Interplay Archive
Fixed: Sub clip associations are lost when checking into Interplay from Pro Tools using Replace Tracks on sequences that original contained sub clips (Item #51208)
* When checking into Interplay from Pro Tools using Replace Tracks, if the original sequence contained sub clips, the sub clips associations were broken. A master clip in Media Composer would show as a video only master clip, when there should be audio clips associated. Attempting to load a sub clip would post the error, "Track -1 not found". This has been resolved.
Fixed: Changing user on shared storage system while Pro Tools is launched does not update user access rights. Pro Tools must be relaunched for changes to be applied. (Items #122032, #57201)
* Previously, when changing users on a shared storage system (such as Avid Unity ISIS), Pro Tools would not update its user access privileges for workspaces until Pro Tools was relaunched. Thus, a user who should have read/write permissions on a given workspace may have read only access. This has been resolved.

* After a play command, the Play and Stop buttons may flash, however, Pro Tools does not playback. Subsequent tries would allow playback.
* 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.
* 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.
* When working with a hyperthreading-enabled processor, Pro Tools does not allow selection of the number of RTAS processors in the Playback Engine dialog.

* 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.
* Fixes surround sound compatibility when TL Space Native Edition is used with Complete Production Toolkit or Pro Tools HD
* Recording video with pre-roll enabled will cause audio and video to be offset by the pre-roll amount when playing back.
* When using the DSP Cache feature and opening sessions with automated plug-ins, certain sessions will not restore the saved plug-in settings correctly.
* When using Satellite Link, a Sync I/O connected to one of the networked Pro Tools systems may intermittently fail to generate time code.
* This would occur on Satellite systems that did not initiate playback. This error has been removed. If Satellite systems are encountering problems while linking, please contact Technical Support.
* When sending a sequence containing a group clip to Pro Tools and then back to Media Composer via Avid Interplay with Replace Tracks, the following error message is displayed in Media Composer: "Exception: Sequence refers to non-existent track in clip. Please turn off monitoring and re-edit reference to the following clip. You may then re-enable monitoring [clip name]."
* 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.

* 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.
* If you selected several adjacent regions, clicking on one of them to move all selected regions will only move the region you clicked on.
* Multi-track QuickTime movies import into Pro Tools 7.4 with each audio track containing a mix of all tracks, rather than individual tracks.
* When assigning sends to a bus sub-path and using the "follow main pan" function, send pan automation may get stuck and not play back dynamically.
* Sessions containing many video regions may cause audio file import to take a long time. This affects importing from DigiBase or via drag and drop from the desktop and may cause delays of up to 10 seconds per file.

* 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.
* When assigning sends to a bus sub-path and using the "follow main pan" function, send pan automation may get stuck and not play back dynamically.
* When chasing time code and simultaneously playing back Avid video via Mojo, Mojo SDI, or AVoption|V10 hardware, setting pre-roll in Pro Tools will cause picture to be offset by the pre-roll amount. Additionally, video playback will stop before the end of the video clip.

* Sessions containing many video regions may cause audio file import to take a long time. This affects importing from DigiBase or via drag and drop from the desktop and may cause delays of up to 10 seconds per file.
* 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.
* This fix is recommended for all users of Media Composer-based Video Satellite, Satellite Link, and Video Satellite LE
* When using Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher with Satellite Link or Video Satellite LE, all connected satellite systems must be running Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher.
* When using Media Composer-based Video Satellite with Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher, you must run Avid Media Composer 3.1.2 or higher.
* Pro Tools 8.0 cannot be connected as a satellite to other systems running Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher, or Media Composer 3.1.2 or higher.

Only occurs in Reason Adapted, and does not occur when Reason Adapted is operated without Pro Tools
This would occur when importing all of the files at the same time
If trying to save after the Access Violation, the session file could become corrupt
Pro Tools HD v 7.4cs7
Aug 30, 2008
Windows
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
This could occur when trying to trim the breakpoints down a few dB.
Typically would occur after a few hours of DestructivePunch recording
Although set to "yes" there was no value readout when touching faders.
Please Note: In order for this fix to take affect, the Pro Tools HD v7.4 Preferences file (located here: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Digidesign) will need to be deleted before launching the updated Pro Tools HD 7.4cs7 application.

The thinning algorithm could mistakenly classify a breakpoint as redundant
This would only occur when writing automation with a selection highlighted while in Loop Playback mode
Steps to reproduce:
A fader position in Latch/Trim or Touch Trim could be accidentally bumped while the transport was stopped.
Subsequently leaving Trim mode, or manually coalescing trims would then write that bumped value to the entire track

The new Expand To New Tracks By Time Code Only feature lets you expand a track or selected region to new tracks, revealing all other regions recorded at the same time code location, regardless of channel name or number.
This feature is useful when expanding edited guide tracks to original source audio which was recorded while referenced to time code, but channel names or numbers were not written to the audio files. For example, when a live concert is recorded in Pro Tools, then a guide audio track is edited along with the video, then the edited guide track is returned to Pro Tools and needs to be expanded to the original source tracks for mixing.
Please see the "Expand to New Tracks by Time Code Only Read Me", included with the update and available separately below for important additional information, including:

The pan positions are correct on the first play of the selection, but can be incorrect on subsequent plays
This would only occur when writing automation with a selection highlighted while in Loop Playback mode
Steps to reproduce:
A fader position in Latch/Trim or Touch Trim could be accidentally bumped while the transport was stopped.
Subsequently leaving Trim mode, or manually coalescing trims would then write that bumped value to the entire track
The thinning algorithm could mistakenly classify a breakpoint as redundant
Celemony Melodyne and AudioEase Snapper would cause a crash with tick-based regions (introduced in Pro Tools 7.4)
This resulted from Mojo getting "stuck" in NTSC mode even when Pro Tools was set to PAL
Pro Tools HD v 7.3.1cs6
Jan 29, 2008
Windows
The fader would "push back" and no automation would be written
If a plug-in window was closed from a control surface while the plug-in window was being dragged across the screen, Pro Tools would quit unexpectedly.
This problem was intermittent, and would not occur when using TDM versions of Dynamics III
The pan positions are correct on the first play of the selection, but can be incorrect on subsequent plays
Please note that there is still an outstanding issue where Surround Pan automation may stick on a particular output. Digidesign is currently working on a solution.
Pro Tools HD v 7.4cs2

Functionality is now the same as in Pro Tools 7.3.x
Note that this condition should only occur when HyperThreading is enabled on Intel-based computers
This problem was intermittent, and would not occur when using TDM versions of Dynamics III
File names using an ellipsis (...) would cause the error, "Unable to create a new audio file on drive "xxx" for track "xxx" because I/O error (-36)."
Known to have occurred with Norwegian, Czech, Japanese and Korean Operating Systems
This would occur after importing audio files from the Workspace Browser
This would occur with a session start time anywhere between 01 to 11 hours
Transients could be placed either before or after grid lines
Clicking on any Event marker will now raise its internal confidence rating to 100%, thus preventing the marker from being removed when the Event Sensitivity setting is lowered within the Elastic Properties window
This would usually occur when using extreme amounts of stretching
Quantizing a selected area could cause markers outside that selection to move

Fixed: When Transport = Machine and a linear deck is connected, Back and Play does not work (Item #99342)
Under certain conditions the Back and Play command would not respond when transport was set to Transport = Machine.
Fixed: Pro Tools quits unexpectedly when moving a plug-in window while closing it from a control surface (Item #99442)
If a plug-in window was closed from a control surface while the plug-in window was being dragged across the screen, Pro Tools would quit unexpectedly.

Pro Tools HD v 7.2
Aug 3, 2006
Windows
From new VCA-style groups to pan grouping and plug-in parameter linking, Pro Tools HD 7.2 software is loaded with indispensable new features dedicated to improving your mixing workflow. New automation modes combine advanced features previously found only on high-end consoles with the power of Pro Tools, to deliver the most comprehensive and flexible automation system in the industry. And with additional new functionality designed to enhance operation with ICON worksurfaces—including VCA fader spill, two-knob surround panning, new jog wheel scrolling/zooming, and much more—Pro Tools HD 7.2 software provides music and post professionals with the best mixing tools on the market.
- Fully Integrated Digital Video
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software allows you to work with integrated video with the same renowned simplicity and elegance that has made Pro Tools the industry-standard digital audio workstation. Cut video along with audio using standard editing commands, create multiple video tracks and playlists within a single session, and bounce edited QuickTime or Avid video with audio as a QuickTime movie for fast review and approval. Pro Tools|HD 7.2 software also provides frame edge-aligned playback of all common QuickTime resolutions—including H.264—through Avid Mojo or AVoption|V10.
Most location sound today is captured on multi-channel disk-based field recorders, so replacing guide track audio with alternate source material in post has become commonplace. It is often time consuming and tedious. With enhanced metadata features including iXML support and new multi-channel matching functionality, Pro Tools HD 7.2 software dramatically simplifies this process for dialog editors. Switching to alternate channels becomes as simple as right-clicking on an audio region or selection: pick a channel by name and Pro Tools instantly creates a new region and rebuilds the crossfades.
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software transforms your Pro Tools|HD rig into a full-fledged, standalone dubber. The new DestructivePunch record mode allows for seamless punching into a contiguous "flat" file for each recorded track so you won't have to consolidate file fragments at the end of a session. With support for third-party paddle controllers, Pro Tools can easily replace aging standalone hardware dubber/stem recorders while giving you the benefit of a single, adaptable software environment.
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software now includes the new SignalTools suite of multi-channel metering and analysis tools, available in TDM and RTAS formats as part of the free DigiRack collection of Pro Tools plug-ins. SignalTools features a completely redesigned SurroundScope level metering tool, which boasts a simplified user interface, precision metering in a variety of international standards, plus Leq(A) measurement. You also get PhaseScope, an invaluable tool for visualizing phase relationships in stereo tracks or between any two streams in multi-channel audio.
Pro Tools HD 7.2 software introduces a new suite of menus and commands that are available through right-click mouse operation. Many edit commands and functions such as renaming paths without opening the I/O Setup are presented when objects are right-clicked in the User Interface. Fades can now be treated like audio regions and nudged or slipped independently from their parent region. This makes it possible to get the fade in the perfect place without trimming; crossfades can be split into fade-ins and fade-outs with a single command.

Existing Playlists." (Item # 63172)
Pro Tools would not allow a session with a 2-hour start time to overlay automation data on a session with a 1 hour start time
without clearing all automation before 2 hours on the destination session.
This could occur with high track count sessions when using the surround mixer.
Send a "Stop" Command (Item# 77280)
This could stop another 9-pin device in the system unnecessarily.
This would occur when a ReWire plug in was being used in the session or when scrubbing on a track with an RTAS plug-in
