Serato Scratch Live 1.8.3

Español

Cambios desde 1.8.2:

-Arreglado un problema con el Reproductor Offline en ciertos ordenadores Windows, en donde la reproducción tartamudea al buscar a través de una pista o si una pista fuera cargada a un deck al estar funcionando.
-Arreglado un problema en donde habría un crash si iTunes 8 hubieses generado un archivo XML de su librería defectuoso.
- Arreglado un problema en donde los BPMs se perderían desde la librería de Scratch LIVE al usar “read iTunes Library”, si la libreria de iTunes cargase antes que la librería de Scratch LIVE. Anteriormente el proceso de auto respaldo fue visto como un potencial factor de este suceso ya que afectaba el orden de carga de la librería, asi que el orden correcto ahora es exigido.
- Arreglado un problema en donde ciertos aparatos MIDI no eran reconocidos por Scratch LIVE.
- El respaldo de la librería de Scratch LIVE ahora funciona al salir, y no automáticamente al comenzar. El respaldo es ahora voluntario, te sera preguntado si quieres hacer el respaldo al salir, si no existe un backup para un drive, o si el backup existente tiene mas de una semana de antigüedad.
- Arreglado un bug en Mac OS X en donde auto-backup no completaría (haciendo que este fuera ejecutado al comienzo de cada sesión) si el Finder hubiese creado archivos escondidos dentro de la carpeta de respaldo.
- Carpetas escondidas ahora son ignoradas al importar archivos a travez del panel Import, o al arrastrar una carpeta desde el Exlporer/Finder dentro de Scratch LIVE, y al usar la función Relocate Lost Files.
- Arreglado un problema especifico a Macs Power PC en donde un valor de BPM guardado en archivos m4a, era leído incorrectamente al cargar, normalmente mostrando un largo numero en vez del correcto.
- Arreglado un crash que ocurriría con algún MP3 malo sin audio dentro.

Recuerden: Esta es una versión Beta, así que úsenla bajo su propia responsabilidad.

Scratch LIVE 1.8.3 is a maintenance-only release, delivering usability improvements and bug-fixes for some important issues found in previous versions.
You do not need to install any previous version before installing 1.8.3.

Changes since 1.8.2:

- Fixed a crash that could occur if iTunes generates a bad “iTunes Music Library” XML file. This fix specifically addresses problems seen by users after updating to iTunes version 8.
- Fixed an issue with the Offline Player reported on certain Windows computers, where playback would stutter when seeking through a track or if a track was loaded to the deck while it was playing.
- Fixed a problem where certain MIDI devices were not recognized by Scratch LIVE on Windows.
- Fixed a problem where BPM values might get lost from the Scratch LIVE library when using ‘read iTunes Library’, if the iTunes library happened to load before the Scratch LIVE library. Previously the auto-backup process was seen to be a potential factor in triggering this problem as it affected the library load order, the correct library loading order is now enforced.
- Scratch LIVE library backup now takes place on exit, and not automatically on startup. Backup is also now optional, you are prompted to backup your Scratch LIVE library on exit if there is no backup for a drive or if the last backup is more than 1 week old.
- Fixed a bug on Mac OS X where auto-backup would not complete (causing it to run at the start of every session) if Finder had created hidden system files inside the backup folder.
- Hidden folders are now ignored when importing files through the Import Panel or by dragging a folder into Scratch LIVE from Finder/Explorer. They are now also ignored when using the Relocate Lost Files function.
- Fixed a problem specific to PowerPC Macs where a BPM value stored in M4A (iTunes) files was incorrectly read on track load, usually showing a large “garbage” value instead.
- Fixed a crash that could occur on a bad MP3 with no audio in it.

Running more than one version of Scratch LIVE:
Installing this version will by default overwrite any previous version you had installed, however it is easy to have more than one version of Scratch LIVE installed if you wish.

If you have an important gig coming up, you might like to stick with the version you know until you are comfortable with 1.8.3.

Here’s how to do it:

Windows:
- Before installing:
* In Explorer, go to ‘C:\Program files\Serato\ScratchLIVE\’
* Rename ‘ScratchLIVE.exe’ to ‘ScratchLIVE 1.8.2.exe’
- Install Scratch LIVE version 1.8.3.
When you install the new version, the old executable will not be deleted. If you wish to run version 1.8.2, run ‘ScratchLIVE 1.8.2.exe’. You can still run two versions of Scratch LIVE if you have already installed version 1.8.3 – just rename the executable to ‘ScratchLIVE 1.8.3.exe’, and then reinstall the version you were previously running.

Mac:
- Before installing:
* Make sure you are logged in as an Admin user.
* In Finder, go to the ‘Applications’ folder
* Rename ‘Scratch LIVE’ to ‘Scratch LIVE 1.8.2′, for example
- Install Scratch LIVE version 1.8.3.
