dcsTools Audio Importer Release Notes

Release notes include changes, enhancements and corrections by date and version number of the XStudio Recorder.

Version 1.4.3.6 - 02/02/2023

  1. Enhancement. Support for Windows 11 has been added.

  2. Change. When converting .DAF files, the source file end date is now passed through to the target file so long as the source file end date is later than today and the target file supports embedding date information, typically Broadcast Wave File Cart Chunk information. If the source file end date is older, the Category end date rule is used.

Version 1.4.2.1 Build 20211210 - 12/10/2021

  1. Fix. If a Category or Map default expiration date was set to "-1" (TFN), the resulting output file's end date was the current-day date. This has been corrected.

Version 1.4.2.1 - 06/21/2021

  1. Fix. Monaural .mp3 files were not converted correctly.

Version 1.4.1.2 - 02/23/2021

  1. Enhancement. Wild card support has been added for Import Maps. You can use the standard "?" and "*" Windows file wild cards in the Input Name field.

  2. Enhancement. Support for .daf (and .dff) file distribution has been added. When the target output file type is .daf or .dff, you can now set the owner node and individual nodes to which the audio is to be distributed. Distribution can be unique for each defined import Category and Map.

  3. Enhancement. When outputting files to a format that supports Broadcast Wave File Cart Chunk information, you can now remap Post Timer fields to fit your specific needs. This requires editing the dcsTools Audio Importer import configuration file directly.

  4. Enhancement. When converting .daf files with v1.4 headers, dcsTools Audio Importer now extracts v1.4-specific header information and will write it to available Broadcast Wave File Cart Chunk fields as applicable.

  5. Enhancement. Beta support for 24-bit PCM wave file decoding has been added. 24-bit decoding may not always produce the desired result.

  6. Change. dcsTools Audio Importer now uses a license file instead of storing registration information in the Windows registry. If you are upgrading from a previous version of dcsTools Audio Importer, you will need to obtain a license file from your vendor in order to use this and subsequent versions of the software.

  7. Fix. dcsTools Audio Importer was creating .dff target files incorrectly.

Version 1.0.0.140 - 06/01/2016

  1. Initial release of dcsTools Audio Importer.
