Added: Expand to New Tracks by Time Code Only (Item # 102582)
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.
Background
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.

Fixed: Trim Values Could Be Accidentally Written To The Entire Session (Item #100795)
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
Fixed: Pro Tools Automation Thinning Could Sometimes Remove Non-Redundant Breakpoints (Item #100794)
The thinning algorithm could mistakenly classify a breakpoint as redundant
Fixed: Certain Third Party Products Could Cause Pro Tools to crash (Item #100661)
Celemony Melodyne and AudioEase Snapper would cause a crash with tick-based regions (introduced in Pro Tools 7.4)
Fixed: Mojo - PAL QuickTime or MXF Movies Could Stutter or Display in Black and White (Item #101047)

This would occur after importing audio files from the Workspace Browser
Fixed: Time Code Chasing Not Possible After Time Code Reaches ~ 11 hours, 25 minutes, regardless of session start time (Item #99605)
This would occur with a session start time anywhere between 01 to 11 hours
Fixed: Quantizing Grouped Elastic Audio Tracks Produces Some Inaccurate Transient Placement (Item #100013)
Transients could be placed either before or after grid lines
Fixed: User Can Only Promote the Confidence of an Event Marker by Moving it (Item #100378)
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
Fixed: Using Render or Commit With "Rhythmic" Algorithm Can Produce Artifacts at End of Files (Item #100420)
This would usually occur when using extreme amounts of stretching
Fixed: Elastic Time Warp Markers Could Move After Quantizing (Item #100423)

Fixed: Closing and Reopening Session Could Toggle The Inactive/Active State Of Some Sends (Item #97716)
This only would occur with Delay Compensation disabled
Fixed: Send Outputs Would Intermittently Stop Routing Audio (Item #88757)
The workaround was to shuffle paths in the I/O Setup, use another bus path, or reopen the session.
Fixed: Regions Could Disappear From a Session After Neo Assertion Errors (Item #97360)
In some cases, having to force quit after getting Neo Assertion errors could cause all regions to be removed from a session.
Fixed: Intermittent Graphic Freeze When Using Pro Tools (Item #82932)
Pro Tools would continue to play while the GUI was frozen, with intermittent plug-in automation and MIDI playback, and then unfreeze.

Fixed: Previewing Audio in the Workspace Could Cause an Assertion Error (Item #87627)
This would occur if the previewed audio was the result of a search. Note that clicking on the waveform was not problematic.
Fixed: ICON Faders Can Become Offset From the Pro Tools Level (Item #87717)
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.

MacOS X UB
Fixed: Intermittent Corruption After Saving. Closing, and Then Reopening a Session, Regions Were Missing or in the Wrong Location on the Timeline (Item #85755)
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.
Fixed: Bouncing to QuickTime Movie Could Produce a File Where Audio and Video Were Out of Sync (Item #85906)
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.
Fixed: Performing "Undo Add Memory Location" or "Undo Edit Memory Location" Would Cause a Crash (Item #84814)
Fixed: On Intel-Based Macs, Snaps and Distortion Could Result When Using CoreAudio (Item #83316)

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)
The problem would only happen when a conversion was required or forced.
The problem would not happen when using the "Import Audio" dialog to import/convert the file.
Pro Tools HD v 7.2cs2
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)

Pro Tools HD v 7.2.1
Sep 20, 2006
MacOS X Intel
Pro Tools HD 7.2.1 is a compatibility update of Pro Tools HD 7.2 software that provides support for the new Intel-based Mac Pro, released by Apple on August 7th, 2006.
Pro Tools HD v 7.2
Aug 3, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Ultimate Mixing and Automation
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.
Unique Multi-channel Field Recorder Workflow
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.
New "Dubber/Stem Recorder" Functionality
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.
Flexible Metering Plug-ins Included
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.
Other Enhancements
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.
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs9
Jul 27, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: Scrubbing a Track Containing a Hardware Insert on Insert 5 Will Cause Pro Tools to Unexpectedly Quit (Item #73176)
Fixed: Volumes With Japanese Naming Will Not Mount In DigiBase (Item #73463)
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.
Fixed: Scrubbing or Shuttling May Cause Expansion|HD To Go Offline, and for Pro Tools to Unexpectedly Quit (Items # 75844, 78034)
Messages included Communication errors and DAE -1140/-9161 errors.
Fixed: Appending to a Destructively-Recorded File Contained in a Previously Saved Session Could Cause Pro Tools To Be Non-Responsive (spinning wheel) (Item# 76555)
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.
Fixed: Potential Problems When Relinking Audio Files (Item #77061, #79230)
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.
Fixed: Some Automation Moves Could Be Written Incorrectly When Writing Immediately After A "Play" Command (Item#78032)
This could occur when touching a control immediately after a "play" command, but before the transport started moving.
Fixed: When Using Expansion|HD, Previewing in the Import Audio Dialog Could Cause a Crash (Item # 78042)
This problem was exacerbated by the use of RTAS reverbs on Aux tracks.
Fixed: Connecting or Reconnecting A Synchronizer To Pro Tools in Remote Mode Could Cause a Crash (Item # 78430)
This problem occurred in Pro Tools 7.1cs7 and 7.1cs8.
Fixed: When Using Network Home Directories, Pro Tools Would Not Launch if the Library/Preferences Directories Were Not On A Local File System (Item #78524)
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.
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs8
Jun 13, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: Some International Characters Were Not Allowed In Pro Tools 7 Sessions (Item # 71269 and 76222)
German, Norwegian, Swedish, and French/French Canadian characters were affected. DigiBase search criteria was also affected.
Fixed: When Controlling 9-pin Devices with MachineControl, Selections Could Appear on the Timeline When Fast-Winding Pro Tools (Item #75405)
This would occur when the Machine Follows Edit Insertion/Scrub preference was enabled.
Fixed: Pro Tools Always Overwrites Automation in Existing Playlists When Using "Import (Session Data): Overlay New on 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.
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
Fixed: Volume Automation From a Control Surface May Be Inaccurately Written if the System Is Under Load (Item# 75888)
This could occur with high track count sessions when using the surround mixer.
Fixed: When Controlling a Non-Linear Device with MachineControl in "Transport=Pro Tools," Taking Pro Tools Off Line Would Send a "Stop" Command (Item# 77280)
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.
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs7
May 10, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: Using "Import Session Data" and Choosing "Consolidate From Source Media" Would Post an Error (Item #72604)
The error posted was "Could not complete your request because Assertion in Cmn_Interval.cpp, line 210."
Fixed: When Using ReVibe, -6042 Errors Could Be Encountered When Making Automation Changes (Item #75784)
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.
Fixed: Error Messages When Using MachineControl to Lock Non-Linear Devices (Item #76525)
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.
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs6
Mar 31, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: Under Certain Conditions, Recorded Files Could End Up Earlier on the Timeline than Where They Were Recorded (Item #74487)
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.
Fixed: Renaming a Surround File Results in File Channel Suffixes Being Ordered Incorrectly (Item #72531)
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.
Fixed: Could Not Always Copy Time Code Values from Region Start/End/Length Fields (Item #72677)
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.
Fixed: When using Expansion|HD, Instantiating a Plug-In During Playback Could Result in an DAE -6031 Error (Item #74761)
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs5
Mar 7, 2006
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: Moving the Tempo Slider to Change Tempo Does Not Update the Play/Edit Selection (Item #70901)
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.
Fixed: Some Third-Party Applications Could No Longer Copy Audio into the Pro Tools Region List (Item #73194)
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: When using the Expansion|HD chassis, Launching Pro Tools Could Result in an -1150 Error (Item #73160)
Fixed: Bouncing to a QuickTime Movie Would Sometimes Leave Out the Video (Item #65203)
Fixed: Crash Occurs When a Plug-In Exceeds the CPU Limit for Extended Periods of Time (Item #72085)
This occurred when 2 or more processors were RTAS-enabled.
Fixed: File Corruption Problems with MXF Audio Media (Item #72525)
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
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: When Recording on a Track with a Long Track Name, Recording Would Stop After 5 Minutes (Item #71869)
This would happen with a file name longer than 26 characters, as this could result in a file with more than 31 characters.
Fixed: Pro Tools Can Freeze When Attempting To Make a Crossfade (Item #72143)
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.
Fixed: RTAS Instrument Plug-Ins on Instrument Tracks Incorrectly Report Delay Compensation Values (Item #71701)
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.
Fixed: Support For Logic Pro 7.2 (Item #68784)
DAE 7.x would cause a freeze on startup when HTDM plug-ins were in the plug-ins directory
Fixed: Pro Tools HD 7.1cs3 Could Not Load the Surround Panner Firmware (Item #72493)
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.
Pro Tools HD v 7.1cs3
Jan 14, 2006
MacOS X PPC
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

Fixed: Banking Control|24 Could Result In A Crash (Item #71297)
With a send assigned, banking the control surface could result in an "unexpected quit."
Fixed: Problems With Fade Dialog Preview (Items #70503, 70505)
Previewing a crossfade or auditioning an existing crossfade in the Fades dialog results in clicks or no audio.
Fixed: Inaccuracies With Groove Quantize (Item # 70393)
When using Groove Quantize as an edit operation or as Input Quantize, notes were being randomly moved.
Fixed: Occasional Freeze When Changing Playback Engine Settings (Item # 66846)
This could occur when playback settings were changed, including the choice when opening a session to use the saved playback engine.
Fixed: Expansion|HD Problem When Using Preroll During Record (Item # 71223)
When recording using pre-roll, incorrect audio might be played back during the pre-roll period (only with Expansion|HD).
Fixed: A Hardware Problem Could Result In A Low-Memory Error Being Reported When Launching Pro Tools Or Media Station (Item # 71110)
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.

Aug 24, 2005
MacOS X PPC
Fixed: The Key Command Sequence for Fine-Tuning Automation Breakpoints Had Changed (Item # 65387)
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."
Fixed: When Using Serial Timecode, Pro Tools Would Sometimes Lock with an Offset When Using a Tascam DA-98 (Item # 64636)
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.
Fixed: When In Remote Mode, and Controlled By An SSL Axiom, Pro Tools Would Have Difficulty Receiving a Punch-Out Command (Item # 64195)
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.
Fixed: With An Edit Pack Declared, Clicking On a Send in The GUI Could Cause Pro Tools to Unexpectedly Quit (Item # 66821)
This could happen more frequently after declaring an Edit Pack in the Peripherals dialog.
Fixed: CoreAudio Did Not Function Properly With Many Third-Party Applications (Item #63500)
QuickTime, Jam, Safari, iMovie and other applications were affected.
Fixed: A ProControl Fader Could Sometimes Lose Communication with Pro Tools while Writing Automation (Item #61458)
While writing automation, a ProControl fader could lose communication with Pro Tools, resulting in no automation written for the time the lapse occurred.
Fixed: Legacy Peripherals Attached to a 192 I/O or a 96 I/O (with Firmware Version 4.3) Would Exhibit Incorrect Gain at Their Inputs (Item # 59048)
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".
Fixed: External Time Code Offsets were not Being Added to Auto-Edit Times (Item #62239)
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.
Fixed: When Using Serial Timecode, Pro Tools Would Sometimes Lock with an Offset When Using a Tascam DA-98 (Item # 64636)
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.
Fixed: When In Remote Mode, And Controlled By An SSL Axiom, Pro Tools Would Have Difficulty Receiving A Punch-Out Command (Item # 64195)
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.
Fixed: Scrubbing or Shuttling a 9-pin Device did not Smoothly Update the 9-pin Device (Item #51198)
This was the case when using either the control surface jog wheel or the "Shuttle" Numeric Keypad Mode.
Fixed: A ProControl Fader Could Sometimes Lose Communication with Pro Tools while Writing Automation (Item #61458)
While writing automation, a ProControl fader could lose communication with Pro Tools, resulting in no automation written for the time the lapse occurred.
