New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.6.5 (Jan 27, 2016)
- Fix bug where channels without input did not redraw meter correctly.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.6.4 (Nov 26, 2015)
- Work around crash due to failure of socketpair().
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.6.3 (Sep 24, 2015)
- Change font for the timecode fields on the main window to be Helvetica Neue which has mono space digits. No more jumping around of the digits. Font size is 40, because otherwise the vertical alignment is no longer correct.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.6.2 (Aug 12, 2015)
- Fix AppleScript "outputfile" functionality.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.5.0 (Mar 19, 2015)
- Use mmap to read the header of audio files. This should reduce I/O and increase performance of reading all audio files. All audio files are read after every recording to create a soundlog.
- Add logging of file stats when failing to open a file.
- Fixed bug with empty bookmark from preferences file, specifically for the template directory.
- Removed a debug log that is not useful.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.2 (May 23, 2014)
- Check if nr of channels is within 0 and 255. And make sure the number of rows and columns of channel meters are between 1 and 255. Hopefully this solves issues with wrong number of channels in the preferences file.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.1 (May 21, 2014)
- Fixed issues with the file_nr being appended on the filename template even when � is being used. Also added more information in the filename template box on how to use it.
- Fixed issue where the audio device was not closed properly when switching devices, causing a wild crash.
- Rewritten part of the channel meters window to be more proper objective-c code, so that ARC will not get confused.
- nr_channels/nr_files/nr_folders now get their value transformed properly so that they work reliable. (It should not have worked at all, but weirdly most times it does).
- Remove 'buffer size' from the Device Preferences. More often then not it caused problems when changing the value as the device manufacturer knows better what value it should be. If the manufacturer allows you, you can still change this value in the preferences window of the device driver or through the Audio Midi Setup utility.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.2.3 (Apr 8, 2014)
- A couple of changes to the bext and iXML metadata which has to do with UIDs and history reference.
- The postfix for file number which used to be a "-f01" is now changed to "_01" this allows Sound Devices Wave Agent to see the mono files as a group.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.0 RC 18 (Apr 8, 2014)
- Huge change in how sample and frame rates are used.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.0 RC 17 (Sep 5, 2013)
- Huge change in how sample and frame rates are used.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.0 RC 16 (May 20, 2013)
- Fixed a bug where the audio device was not being selected because of initialization order. This bug was caused by rc14.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.0 RC 3 (Oct 15, 2012)
- New incident report system which can include large audio files which are truncated to maximum 1 MB. With this you can create an incident report when you do not have internet connection, the zip file can be send via email to [email protected].
- Directly printing a sound report from Boom Recorder is no longer possible because of sandboxing.
- Boom Recorder is now sandboxed which will improve security, and it is a requirement for the AppStore.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.3.0 RC 1 (Oct 12, 2012)
- You can now enter a custom file sample rate and a word clock rate. Word clock rate is used when an external word clock is different form the interface sample rate, this is often used for pull down when recording with a word clock of 48048 when the interface sample rate can only handle 48000. Since now Boom Recorder knows the actual sample rate you should now set the frame rate to the real-world frame rate. The file sample rate may also be modified and its timestamp should be adjusted.
- You can now also enter a custom on-set frame rate and file frame rate. The on-set frame rate is used to decode the LTC timecode signal. The file frame rate is used when displaying the timecode in the sound reports and in audio files.
- Graphics for the ring buffer and the transport buttons have been upgraded to vector graphics for drawing in good quality on retina displays.
- The tape counter and time code display has slate, take, roll and retry have a larger font for better readability. This is possible because the frame rate selector has moved to the time preferences.
- Manual is updated for this new version.
- You may now enter kHz into the sample rate field.
- Retry field is removed, on a filename collision the current date and time are added automatically to the filename and the recording is automatically retried.
- When changing metadata in the soundlog which would yield a new filename, then the file will always be renamed using the sample collision mechanism as for recording.
- Trial license is reset so that anyone can test Boom Recorder 8 for 30 days.
- Playback is enhanced with a timeline, when pressing play the timeline will apear where you can click to start the playback at that point in time. The ticks show the minutes.
- You can now select between no monitoring, always monitoring and monitoring during recording.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.2.0 (Oct 2, 2012)
- You can now enter any sample rate you want. If the audio interface does not support the sample rate the value will revert back. You can also select one of the sample rates from the popup menu, which are filtered based on what the audio interface reports it can handle.
- With modern drivers from RME the FireFace 800 together with Boom Recorder should be able to handle the exotic sample rates.
- This may mean that things will change for owners of these interfaces; being able to set the device to 48048 for real and setting the correct frame rate.
New in Boom Recorder Lite 8.0.1 (Jul 29, 2012)
- Replaced date handeling functions, because of a warning in Apple's documentation.
