Emagic Apple Sounddiver V.3.1 Public Beta Readme

SoundDiver 3.1 Public Beta ReadMe Currently SoundDiver 3.1 is available as a public beta for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. Whereas the Mac OS 9 version is still using the SoundDiver 3.0 CD copy protection, the Mac OS X version checks for a connected XSKey. SoundDiver 3.1 Public Beta for Mac OS X is free of charge for all XSKey owners for a limited 6 months demo period. It doesn't matter which products are authorized on the XSKey. This ReadMe describes all changes made since the release of SoundDiver version 3.0.4. The information in this ReadMe is subject to change without notice and does not represent any commitments on the part of Emagic. The time-limited demo period starts with the first use of the SoundDiver 3.1 Public Beta. You can verify your remaining demo time within SoundDiver via the SoundDiver > XSKey Authorization … menu. New features and changes since SoundDiver 3.0.4 – Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 - A new submenu has been added: File > Open Recent. This menu lists the most recently opened SoundDiver files. - Some settings in menu items have been restructured: The ‘Save Preferences’ and ‘Save a Copy of Preferences as …’ menu items have been moved to the Preference Menu. Note that these options are only available after preferences have been imported (or created). - The import of SoundDiver preference files via the Preferences > Import Preferences has been improved. If you start SoundDiver, always the default preferences will be loaded. Under MacOS X, these are always located under ~/Library/Preferences/info.emagic.sounddiver. Loading a Preferences file does no more change the file location where the startup preferences are saved. When saving the preferences in a different location, only a copy will be saved. If you select Preferences > Import Preferences, their contents are written into the default preference file when leaving SoundDiver. In this case, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite the imported file with the current default preferences file, or if you want to leave it unchanged. In either case, this does not change the location of the preference file used by SoundDiver on start-up. - The SoundDiver sound effects have been removed. - Context-sensitive menus have been added. Context-based menus are invoked via a Ctrl-click or right mouse click. As this conflicts with the range selection options in earlier SoundDiver versions, the modifier mouse clicks have been reassigned as follows: Shift-click now defines the end of a range selection (previously Ctrl-click). Cmd-click toggles the selection of a single item (previously Shift-click). The inversion of the current AutoAudition setting is no longer available (previously Cmd-click). - When there are no special parameters available for a device, the “Special Parameters” box is now hidden. - Numerous improvements and refinements SoundDiver 3.1 for Mac OS X SoundDiver 3.1 Public Beta is av…
