Version 1.04February 17, 2006New Features:• System optimizations have been added which result in a more responsive overall feelto the system and smoother screen updates, especially at the highest sample rates.• Pre-record functionality has been improved. It now pre-records "forward" byadvancing the timeline while in pre-record until the buffer is full. An on-screen textmessage helps to indicate what is happening:o "Filling Pre-Record Buffer"o "Pre-Record Buffer Full"When in auto-append mode with Pre-Record enabled, pressing Pause causes thetimeline to jump to the end of audio, enter monitor mode, and time starts movingas the pre-record buffer is filled.If not in auto-append, the timeline starts where it is at and pre-record commencesfrom that point forward.This means it is now possible to pre-record starting at zero. It also means that"abutted" recordings with pre-record will no longer overlap previous audio.When pre-recording (pause) is cancelled (i.e. Stop is pressed) the system nowreturns to the timeline location where pre-recording had started.• Added "tTAPE=YYMMDD " string to the description field of the Broadcast Waveaudio files to support automated sync & import with Avid systems.• The take number now continues to be displayed after recording has stopped. Pressinganother transport key, retake, or moving the playhead in time clears it back to normalbehavior.• A "please wait" screen has been added to record stop processing to indicate largepending buffer writes in progress.• The timecode value entry method has been changed to be easier to use with akeyboard. The Up/Down Arrow keys will change the highlighted field value (withoutneeding to press Enter first). The Left/Right Arrow keys and Tab/Shift+Tab navigatefrom field to field.• A seamless new-take feature has been added where hitting the REC key during arecording (10 secs or greater since last the record started) closes the current file andopens a new one, creating a new take.• An S/PDIF slip indicator has been added to the audio clock status page
