March 08

1. User check they have the March 17 build of 4.1.5 - a few last minute changes were made...
   

2. Leopard issues with SD2 files - fixed in version 4.1.5
   

3. Pro Tools multiple selection bug in cs versions of 7.4.  Digidesign has been made aware of this - please use the ‘ZERO Pro Tools’ preference in V4/v4pro to workaround issue.  Elastic Audio still an issue for transfers.  See new quicktime transfer movie for help.
   

4. Version 4.1.5 on the user ftp site for all users - make sure you download the correct version for your license.
   

5. Don’t use numbers to begin a name in your databases - it will crash.  ‘123MyDatabase’ will crash, but ‘MyDatabase1’ won’t.
   

December 07  - All product bulletin

1. v4 and v4pro 4.1 released officially.  New versions are available at the user ftp site.  Support for Leopard among the dozens of additions.
   

2. Miniminer available January 2nd, 2008.
   

3. MetaEdit discontinued officially - this product was built to help aid the Music Libraries through the stage of embedding their assets when v4pro was not yet shipping.  Now that both v4 and v4pro are shipping, MetaEdit has been discontinued and its features rolled into v4pro.  V4pro adds considerable conversion power allowing libraries to make mirrored copies of their databases in any uncompressed format.  All existing users of MetaEdit can move to v4pro or any other product for the difference in price.
   

November 07 - V4/V4pro

1. Minminer should be shipping by the End of the Year.
   

2. RipperV4 is delayed as we concentrate on the other products.  RipperV3 still works however authorization is only via HASP keys.
   

3. We will be replacing the Aladdin License Manager with our own License Manager as continued issues abound with Aladdin’s network software.
   

4. Leopard support will come with the next version of V4/V4pro.  Do not try to use it with the currently posted version.
   

5. Pro Tools 7.4  - some users have reported issues, however, we have done some initial tests and it appears to be working as it should with some caveats:  One very important change is in the new ‘Elastic Mode’ feature in 7.4.  With this engaged, the track will not accept a third party import as it requires internal analysis of the file for tempo alterations.  In short, make sure this feature is disabled on the track you are spotting for Soundminer to operate correctly.  Foreign characters can and will cause issues.  Make sure you have selected a file naming algorithm that does not introduce foreign characters or create a blank region name.  We will note anything else we find on this page for users. 
   

October 07  - V4/V4pro

1. Do not embed any file larger than 200mb as we have discovered an issue that will be fixed in the next revision.  The process could result in corruption of the file.  Always backup your files and databases please.
