SAWStudio v3.5 & SAWStudioBasic released

RML Labs has released SAWStudio/SAWStudioLite v3.5 which is now available for immediate download to registered users of v3.4 and higher. They have also just released SAWStudioBasic, a "trimmed back version of the full model", for only $300.

Enhancements:

• The Exploded Mixer View now responds to F-Keys. This allows the E-Mixer to be controlled more easily for SAWStudioLite. The view may now be set to be visible or not based on F-Keys. It may also be set to default to a visible condition based on the default F-Key setup.
• VST Synth Load And Save Preset commands are now active during Live Input Mode for easier testing of saved patches.
• Selecting groups from the Select Mode Group menu now assigns the first entry of the group as the Key Entry so group selection can be immediately followed by a snap move or copy operation without the need to first click on a Key Entry.
• ASIO Driver Reset Requests are now processed automatically with no need to restart playback manually.
• A new enhancement has been added to the MultiTrack and SoundFile Views. The NumKeypad (with NumLock ON) can be used with the Ctrl key to change to different preset waveform scaling factors. Ctrl-Numkey-1 will set the scale back to full zero db.
• A new feature has been added for marking ranges. Pressing the Alt-End-Key in normal mode marks an entire track no matter where the current cursor position is.
• The MultiTrack Menu has been updated with some of the basic keyboard editing functions.
• The code for live layer switching has been enhanced for slightly better performance at low latencies.

Fixes:

• Modified the Src Load detection routine for more accuracy under certain types of edl conditions.
• Added more buffer size to allow settings to be properly saved for some of the larger footprint VST synths such as the Spectrasonics products.
• Using the X key softedge feature on the exact boundary of the last entry of a track now correctly deletes any existing softedge for that boundary.
• Using the ASIO Skip First Buffer option now correctly compensates the sync position of a new recorded region.
• Reloading new preference files with an active Midi Control Template is now handled correctly.
• The Select Mode Insert function has been modified to correct problems under certain selected configurations.
• Hot Track Solo Mode no longer disengages when the Ctrl Key is used with certain operations.
• Record Meter Input Source Mixer Channel selection now operates correctly even when Return and Output channels are re-ordered in front of Input tracks.
• Modified SoftEdge code that could cause small crackle sounds at the start of entries with softedges that followed VariPitch entries under certain conditions.
• Setting Tempo To Marked Measures now correctly handles the time signature denominator when not equal to a quarter note.
• Channel Out Assign switches for Lite are now correctly trapped for switches beyond the max 12 devices.
