10.2 Easter Eggs

[JMDNYC]

I usually read all the info on new releases, but here are two features that surprised me:

Export Markers as Text. Found in the drop down menu in the Marker List or in the "Export / Session Info as Text..." I've been asking for this for years. It makes some ugly-looking text, but you can always pretty it up in another program. You can print the Marker Comments, too.

Automatically Create Click Track in New Session. Found in the Preferences / Midi / Basics section. You have to also Set the Plug-In's Default to User Settings to get the click sound you want.

This one has been around since at least PT8.

Not to automatically create... This is new. There has been a create click track menu option, but this is much better. Not a huge timesaver, but a nice little gift anyway!

Hmm. I've just never noticed it before. It turned itself on for me somehow.

Yes, to automatically create. I didn't know it existed, either, until I started using a new M-Powered 8 workstation a couple years back. It's been around for a while.

It was there but in the preference menu. It was a check box you needed to click that stated exactly this "Create click track on new session" And obvioiusly it's the same thing in PT 10, same check box.

That's really cool, I haven't noticed it until now... maybe because I wouldn't have thought to look for it under MIDI in Preferences.

One "serious" easter egg is this update actually works!
Joking aside, the export session as text improvement is great.
