RML Labs releases SAWStudio / SAWStudio Lite v5.0

RML Labs has released SAWStudio (Full and Lite) Version 5.1 and SAWStudioBasic Version 2.3, which are now available for immediate download free to registered users.

• SAWStudio (Full and Lite) 5.1

  Enhancements:

  • A new option has been added to the File Menu called Open SoundFile And Fix Header. This option can be used to fix a corrupted wav file header that was caused by a crash during a recording which then never had a chance to finish updating the header data when the recording was finished. This generally results in wav files with a zero data length value in the header which will not open correctly later. This option will calculate the data length based on the file length and the header length and write in the corrected values. A new peak data file will then be created.

  • The Zoom Mixer has been fully integrated into the SAWStudioLite version. Add it into your F-Key views and enjoy the extra power of multiple E-Mixer modules.

  Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed code to adjust the VSTTimeInfo play flag to allow the Melodyne plugin to respond correctly to BuildMix operations.

  • Fixed code to properly read Temp group names from Mix Template Files.

  SAWStudioBasic 2.3

  Enhancements:

  • When the program is started for the first time or after the default F-key file has been cleared, F-Keys will now be automatically generated to fit the screen resolution. You can save these as the default F-Keys, or use them as a starting template to be modified and then saved as your own. I recommend you look at each one and consider using them as a guide to creating useful ones of your own.

  Eq Plugin Version 3.2:

  • Added a new option to the Options menu called Clear Preferences, which clears the preference file and resets the plugin to its default behavior.

  Echo Plugin Version 3.2:

  • Added a new option to the Options menu called Clear Preferences, which clears the preference file and resets the plugin to its default behavior.

  Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed code when using the Fx Bypass switch with multiple channels selected to only update the switch bypass condition on channels with patched plugins.

  • Fixed code to trap for false value jumps on popup fader activation by accident when mouse-click release is held long enough to release just as the popup fader is beginning to display.

  • Fixed code to trap for possible divide by zero errors in the fader display scaling routines.

  • Fixed code to properly update the DirX and VST window views after a shade change.

  • Fixed code to trap for the X key softedge function on Return and Output tracks.

  • Fixed code to eliminate meter and monitor delay on SF record with any input device higher than device 1.

  • Fixed code to properly jump the HotChan when using the Ctrl-Left-Arrow and Ctr-Right-Arrow commands in the Full Mixer.

  • Fixed code to lock automation entries on the end boundary when stretching or shrinking an automation marked area.

  • Fixed code to allow MIDI Control Templates that include a Master Fader to properly follow re-ordered Out channels and stay locked to Out Chan 1.

  • Fixed code to toggle the VSTTimeInfo play flag correctly with the engine status.

  • Fixed the mismatched format version for the demo sample session.

  Eq Plugin Version 3.2:

  • Fixed code to stabilize patching the plugin from SAC remotes and scene changes. Also made changes to keep the processing thread from being blocked during preset and paramset loads.

  • Fixed code to stop host paramset corruption when canceling a load preset operation on a remote.

  Echo Plugin Version 3.2:

  • Fixed code to stabilize patching the plugin from SAC remotes and scene changes. Also made changes to keep the processing thread from being blocked during preset and paramset loads.

  • Fixed code to stop host paramset corruption when canceling a load preset operation on a remote.

  • Fixed code to properly dissolve FeedBack delays as they near -infinity db.
