Pro Tools 7.3 bugs

[mgoorevich]

OK, let me start this time.
1. Although plug-ins "EQ 2" and "Dynamics 2" were pretty useless, they are not included in upgrade to PT 7.3. So if you have a session with these plug-ins used, before installing PT7.3, copy them and after installing PT 7.3 place into the plug-in folder. By the way I am not sure they are fully compatible with 7.3 but they work just fine so far.
2. After opening a "Playback engine" and closing it, a keyboard focus (short cuts) will be disabled. You'll need to manually enable them again by pressing icon "a...z" or open/close preferences dialog and it will fix it back - how is this related????
3 In workspace I can enable Auto-Prevew - which is very handy for audiotions. After relaunching Protools, this function will be diabled again. Thats petty.

I didn't even think to check for that! Nice catch, as a few mixers here still use the II series plug-ins. Indeed my install is missing the II series plug-ins as well. What's the official word on this omission?

Actually, if you look at the "a...z" icon while the Playback Engine dialog is open, you will see that it is already disabled. So merely opening the Playback Engine window causes this. Confirmed.

3 In workspace I can enable Auto-Prevew - which is very handy for audiotions. After relaunching Protools, this function will be diabled again. Thats petty.

Confirmed.

I checked these against v7.3cs1.

somewhere else it was posted that EQ2 and Dynamics 2 are in a Legacy install folder

If you install Pro Tools 7.3 over older version (Eg. 7.2) the DigiRack II will be moved to /Library/Applications Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins (Unused)

From clean install check your CD for "Unsupported" folder.

THANKS!

In preferencess>Processing>TC/E tool if you choose time shift plug-in, you cannot use any presets (though there are many) but default only.

[Andre Knecht]

Since this has been like that ever since TC/E functionality was added, I suspect it’s a willful omission, rather than a bug.

[mgoorevich]

In PT7.2 you could do it.....not in 7.3 cs1. So is it a bug?

[Chief Technician]

I am not seeing what mgoorevich sees exactly. If I select Time Shift as the TC/E plug-in of choice, I can select presets. However, I cannot select any of the presets in the Post Format Conversions folder.

When searching files in the PT7.3 cs1 work browser, you can play them by hitting space bar.
After couple of auditions audio doesn't play, wheather you hit space bar or not. It might play if you click with a mouse on the waveform of file. But after couple of times it stops as well. After relaunching Pro Tools problem disappears just at the begining. But it comes back after several auditions.
I have 2.5 G RAM which was never a problem with PT 7.2...

Digi, it seems to be a bug. I tryed all the troubleshootings and rebuilt catalog again. But the problem is here.
