With this release we have focused primarily on fixing bugs and improving stability.
In particular issues that have been reported widely on our forum, most significantly the CD drive crash and kernel panics seen with the Rane SL4, Sixty-One and Sixty-Two.
The other significant change is that the Scratch Live installer no longer installs the Rane Core Audio drivers on Mac.
However, these Core Audio drivers are still included in the Scratch Live 2.4.4.dmg for users to install manually. This was a necessary step for OS X 10.8 support. Fixed an issue where playing files from the CD drive or ejecting a CD caused a crash.Fixed a kernel panic occurring when hotplugging SL4.Improved hot plugging stability for all devices for both Mac and Win (resolving kernal panics with the Sixty-One and Sixty-Two).Scratch Live can now install on Windows 8 without the need to disable Windows security settings.The fader movements will now be added to shared memory so that Mix Emergency can use them without having to start/stop Serato Video first.Fixed a bug where the TTM-57 hardware audio effects are on, but Serato Video thinks they’re off and thus doesn’t apply the associated video effect.Fixed a bug with the Serato Video auto crossfader whereby it couldn’t reach far left or right when set to a fast speed.Fixed an issue where no audio was being recorded in Mixtape when using the Sixty-Eight.Fixed an issue where you could get distortion when recording with the Sixty-Two.Fixed an issue where the Next Transition (Video) button could be MIDI mapped, but would not save to the MIDI XML.Fixed a bug where BPM field was locking up focus when the value was un-changed.Fixed a bug where m4a files displayed ‘unsupported file type’ message if QuickTime not installed.Fixed an issue where you couldn’t save cue points, loops or autogain values to.Fixed a bug where video files without audio were labelled as corrupt.(Note: Windows 8 is not currently officially supported by Serato).
