v7.2 [Dec 10, 2011]
Changing marker type
When changing the marker type from the Audio File's marker tool window, a crash could happen.
Editing marker time in the marker window If the marker was placed beyond the end of the last clip, it was not always possible to change its time.
Audio Input plug-in
Only temporary files could be rendered and only in 24 bit.
Shortcuts within the Record dialog
Changing a shortcut did not happen until restarting
WaveLab. The default shortcut for “record”, has been changed to '*' (previous setting: Ctrl/Cmd + Enter).
OSQ file format
Encoders/Decoders were broken.
Render dialog, name history
Instead of the "File name" field, designations such as "Set as clip names" could appear in the history sub-menu.
Document tab color
When a document has been created and was not saved, the tab name changed to purple color, for better visibility. But after saving the document, its tab color was not reset to the standard color (black).
Popup tips
When using a second monitor, the popup tips could be displayed on the wrong monitor (eg. Audio Montage envelope point info).
Tool window shortcuts
A shortcut assigned to show/hide a Tool window within a workspace (eg. audio file) was unavailable in another workspace (eg. Montage workspace).
Possible crash when using effects within the audio montage
Sometimes, WaveLab crashed randomly.
CD-Text in japanese
CD-Text in japanese was not properly encoded.
CD-Text with long fields
CDs with many tracks and with long CD-Text couldn’t be burned.
Possible truncation of clips
Clips using plug-ins with long internal latency might have been truncated when burning a CD without rendering a temporary file or when generating a DDP file set while the montage had the "Audio in pause" mode disabled
Global Analysis / Loudness
The loudness value displayed at the bottom, left to the dialog, did not take into account the AES-17 setting of the global preferences (typically, the value was displayed with an offset of 3 dB).
Dual-mono files and companion file
It was not possible to save/restore a companion file (Master
Section preset) for dual mono files.
Saving dual mono files
Several issues could happen concerning dual-mono files:
When saving a dual-mono file as a stereo file (not dual mono anymore), the file was properly saved, but the file remaining opened in memory contained several channel assignement errors. In case the file format was set to "Channels match input stream", the resulting audio format was "Stereo" and not "Dual-mono". When overwriting a dualmono file, the warning message regarding the overwriting of existing files was not displayed. When a dual-mono file was saved via the “save as” dialog, the resulting right channel file was left open invisibly in WaveLab, which prevented resaving of the file under the same name.
Spectrum Editing
After stopping the playback, the window layout could change randomly.
Marker attachment
When changing the attachment mode of a marker, the associated icon symbol was not updated immediatly in the marker list. The active mode is now pre-selected in the
marker 'Functions' menu and the associated button is pushed.
