Last updated on 3/31/2016Bugs and other issues that have been addressed in version 9.03:
Adds support for Roland U-8.
Processing the Transpose MIDI effect over several linked clips transposed the clips excessively.
Fretboard view: Playing file with more than 6 strings could cause system to crash.
Studioware panel automation data was recorded and updated even when the Record and Update options were disabled.
The AudioX Transports tab in the Options-Global dialog was missing Help file.
MIDI playback would sometimes cease after Solo'd editing in the Audio View.
Bugs and other issues that have been addressed in version 9.02:
Pro Audio displayed invalid Direct-X Plug-Ins when used in Windows 2000.
Pressing F1 from the Cakewalk Problem Reporter generated a Help error message.
Constraining Pan and Volume Envelope nodes did not function as described in Help.
Audio View could be resized after maximize, causing redraw problems.
Running the Migration Wizard and choosing a previous installation where the WaveData or PictureCache folder was invalid sometimes caused the WaveData and PictureCache folders to be set to the same value. Pro Audio asked for the wavedata directory, but actually set the picture cache.
Some BUNs with mono and stereo audio data expanded to excessive size, prohibiting users with low disk space from opening the file.
Edit-Audio-Remove Silence moved clips to undesired locations.
Installer mistakenly installed an old version of DirectX under Windows 2000. Installer installed DirectX 5.1 even though Windows 2000 ships with DirectX 7. The Installer no longer installs an older version of DirectX.
The MP3 Encoder's default bit rate was set at 320000. The default is now 128000.
The wrong Bank Select Method not inserted correctly. When switching ports on a MIDI track, all Instrument settings switched correctly, except for Bank Select Method, which stayed at the old setting.
Audio recording was inconsistent if scroll bar was moved while recording.
Dragging mouse in Tempo View caused crash.
There was a bad file in session drummer: Hard Rock 114 - open hat. It is now working correctly.
Opening a wrk file saved in 9 in 9.01 caused the AudioX console settings to be lost.
Opening files that were created in 9.0 with AudioX driver 1.0.0.69 into 9.01 with AudioX driver 1.01.128 sometimes caused a crash.
Various other minor enhancements.
Bugs and other issues that have been addressed in version 9.01:
Tools-Mixdown-Export to File would sometimes abort if only small sections of audio were being exported.

The Generic instrument definition was assigned to the wrong patch list.
Improved handling of extracting Bank/Patch Change events from Type 1 MIDI files and putting them in the Track pane Bank and Patch columns.
If audio files can't be located when loading a project, you will have the option of manually locating the missing audio. When a "missing audio" file is located, the next Missing Audio browse dialog will now start in the most recent directory.
The Missing Audio dialog now lists both .WAV and .WA~ files.
The first time a WRK file is saved, Pro Audio will now display a dialog reminding you that audio data doesn't actually live in the WRK file, but is only referenced from the WRK file. This dialog can be suppressed for future projects.
The Migrate Preferences dialog (displayed the first time you run Pro Audio) now contains more descriptive text, and recommends that you migrate preferences from a previous installed version of Pro Audio (if applicable).
Projects with very short audio clips that repeated over and over could cause dropouts during playback.
Path names that were manually entered in Options-Global-Folder did not always save properly.
When flushing the Picture (Cache) directory, all files in the Picture directory were eligible to be deleted (even .WAV files). Now only .WOV (picture) files are deleted.

If using multiple AudioX devices (i.e. two DSP Factory cards), each AudioX console now opens with proper settings.

Using the Scissors tool in the Audio view when zoomed way in could produce unexpected results.
When using Tools-Mixdown Audio, the progress bar in the status bar would process with regards to the entire track, not the selected event(s).

Settings in the Insert-Video File dialog did not persist in the same session.
The Stereo Split checkbox in the Insert-Video File dialog was incorrectly deriving its value from the Import Audio Stream checkbox.

Pro Audio could lead to a crash if you were recording automation data via remote control while recording audio, pressed Ctrl-Z to undo, then closed Pro Audio.

Running Normalize on a stereo audio event when the right channel contained silence would create a square wave.

Piano Roll view: The Delete key wouldn't delete data until another process had been executed in the Piano Roll View first.
Exporting to a file type other than .WAV in Dual-Mono mode (separate left and right mono files) will fail to delete the right channel temporary file after the operation. This would leave redundant files in the wave data directory.
The Parametric EQ plug-in that was included in previous versions of Pro Audio will no longer show up in Pro Audio 9. Older Pro Audio projects that used the Parametric EQ will open in Pro Audio 9, but the Parametric EQ will be substituted with the new Stereo EQ.

StudioWare and CAL files were not listed in alphabetical order in the Key Bindings dialog box.
Initial track parameter settings were not respected during a loop.
