New in BarbaBatch 4.0.54 (Jan 14, 2009)

  • Pro Tools generated AIFF files were interpreted wrong.
  • Using a non-SATA or IDE boot drive didn't authorizate properly.

New in BarbaBatch 4.0.53 (Dec 18, 2008)

  • Bug fix: QuickTime 7.5.7 (included in MacOS X 10.5.6) has a bug that prevents BarbaBatch from extracting audio data from files in its preferred manner.

New in BarbaBatch 4.0.52 (Dec 4, 2008)

  • Feature:
  • BarbaBatch is now a Universal Binary, increasing performance on Intel Macs.
  • Added preference to recognize number files as split (.1/.2 etc). Default is off.
  • Bug fix:
  • Importing QuickTime files and MP3, followed by sample rate conversion gave missing audio blocks in the output.
  • Output file names could carry double file type tag (i.e. .wav.mp3).
  • Added region support to AIFF files, as it is implemented in Pro Tools.
  • A conversion that only converted a snippet of the file didn't work for split stereo and split surround.
  • Reinstated split file name extensions (L)/(R) for old Logic archives.
  • Strictly enforce file name extensions. As OS X uses file name extension almost exclusively for type identification it hardly makes sense anymore to not add the proper extension for a specific type. A side effect of this is name ambiguity when the input folder containts, for instance, files calles "somefile.wav" and "somefile.mov" and both are converted to AIFF. As both outputs would be named "somefile.aif" a duplicate file name error is logged.

New in BarbaBatch 4.0.51 (Nov 1, 2008)

  • Normalize and gain sections could cause wrapping audio if end level was 0dB.
  • Naming conventions have changed a little: any file that has a fixed type extension will get that by default. The option in the conversion window to extend the file name only works for non-standard extensions.
  • Improved surround file support; there were a few omissions in the last release.
