Avid updates Pro Tools to v9.0.5

Avid has updated Pro
Tools to version 9.0.5. This is an officially qualified and
recommended update for all Pro Tools 9 and Pro Tools HD 9 users on Mac OS X
10.6.x (Snow Leopard) and Windows 7. Although not officially qualified, Pro
Tools 9.0.5 also adds public beta support for Apple's OS X Lion operating
system.
Issues Resolved in Pro Tools 9.0.5
-
When using Satellite Link or Video Satellite with two or more satellite
systems, after fast-forwarding or rewinding, satellite
systems would not always stop on the same frame as the admin system. All
Satellite systems now stop on the same frame if the Stop command is issued
from a Pro Tools system. If the Stop command is issued from a Video
Satellite (Media Composer) system, a two-frame offset between the Video
Satellite and the Pro Tools Satellites may occur.
-
When Pro Tools is configured for Remote Mode operation, switching in and
out of Remote Mode would take a long time. Pro Tools now switches in and out
of Remote Mode in a shorter time.
-
While Pro Tools is in X-OR Solo mode, disengaging solo from the MIDI
Editor window caused the Solo mode to change
unexpectedly to Latch, without changing the displayed mode. Disengaging solo
from the MIDI Editor window no longer changes the Solo Mode.
-
Large, densely-automated Pro Tools sessions could encounter
out-of-memory errors or unexpected asserts during editing. Automation
breakpoint memory usage has been optimized to reduce the total amount of
memory required. The amount of reduction depends on the structure of the
session and the amount of automation in the session. If out-of-memory errors
persist, you can thin automation data (Edit > Automation > Thin All) to
reduce the occurrence of these errors.
-
Certain NewsCutter AAF files did not import into Pro Tools correctly.
NewsCutter AAF files now import into Pro Tools correctly.
-
The Original Time Stamp of MXF media files in an AAF export was not
being exported correctly, resulting in a timecode
offset. The Original Time Stamp of MXF media files in an AAF export is now
correct.
-
Certain commands were incorrectly listed in the undo queue, resulting in
“error -35” messages. Commands that are cancelled during operation, and thus
should not be available in the Undo Queue, are now properly not included in
the Undo queue.
-
HD Native firmware 1.02 (shipped with Pro Tools 9.0.4) is not compatible
with Windows. HD Native firmware has been updated to 1.03 and is now fully
compatible with all supported Mac and Windows configurations. Be sure to
update HD Native firmware to version 1.03 before updating to Mac OS X 10.6.8
or Mac OS X 10.7.x (Lion). It is not possible to upgrade HD Native firmware
from those versions of Mac OS X.
-
It was not possible to set Pitch Bend value to zero while editing MIDI
data. It is now possible to set Pitch Bend value to zero while editing MIDI
data.
-
Bounce to QuickTime would not work if the bounce source was multichannel
(greater than stereo). Bounce to QuickTime now works with all source channel
formats. Bouncing any source (including greater-than-stereo) to QuickTime
results in a stereo file.
-
Pro Tools would crash when swapping plug-ins while in Learn mode for
HyperControl. Pro Tools does not crash when swapping plug-ins while in Learn
mode for HyperControl.
-
When Project Mix I/O was used in conjunction with a second control
surface, the bank select function on the Project Mix I/O would cease to
function. Project Mix I/O can now be used simultaneously with other control
surfaces.
-
When using HyperControl, the Sends Soft Key would not scroll through the
Sends. When using HyperControl, the Sends Soft Key now scrolls through the
Sends.
-
When using HyperControl, it was possible to lose contact with a Master
Fader track for a few seconds if the track was in
the selected bank and was alternately controlled with a bank fader and a
Master Fader. When using HyperControl, Master Fader control will not be lost
if controlling the fader from two locations.
