XStudio Voice Tracker Release Notes

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

Version 1.6.0.190 - 02/15/2023

  1. Important Change. The minimum operating system requirement for XStudio Voice Tracker is now Windows 7. If you attempt to install XStudio Voice Tracker on an older operating system, the installation program will advise you the OS is not supported.

  2. Important Change. XStudio Voice Tracker now requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015‑019 Redistributable software be installed. Previously, the redistributable software was the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. During installation, this software will be installed automatically if not present or an older version is present on the system.

  3. Enhancement. XStudio Voice Tracker now stores event logs as daily, dated logs instead of the original single event log. As a default, event logs are kept for 14 days.

  4. Enhancement. Users can now modify the default event logging detail and control the number of daily event logs that are retained.

  5. Enhancement. Additional event logging has been added as a default to make it easier to see when a user is auto-tracking or manually recording voice tracker when troubleshooting.

  6. Enhancement. XStudio Voice Tracker now detects latest Windows 11 versions and adjusts its display accordingly.

  7. Enhancement. Beta support has been added for using Audio Science ASIO drivers. During installation of the audio engine service, you have the option to configure the audio engine to use ASIO drivers. Note this option applies only to users who have a supported Audio Science audio card installed on the host system and have installed the ASI ASIO drivers.

  8. Enhancement. When viewing events within XStudio Voice Tracker, you can now change the text display size if desired.

  9. Fix. When XStudio Voice Tracker was registered, restrictions on the maximum recording length were not lifted without the user exiting and restarting XStudio Voice Tracker. Now, this restriction is lifted immediately on successful registration.

Version1.5.2.160- 01/11/2018

  1. Enhancement. Users can now optionally have voice track recordings auto-start on first detected audio rather than the recording starting immediately at Aux Mark in an auto-track sequence. This feature can be used to avoid any "dead air" at the beginning of the voice track, thus tightening up the playback sequence in cases where, for instance, a song ends cold. When enabled, manual recordings also start at detection of first audio. The audio threshold for starting the recording is set using the Record Auto-Start Threshold property in Preferences.

  2. Enhancement. Song intro times are automatically updated when refreshing information from the music data.

  3. Change. XStudio Voice Tracker now checks to ensure that the just-recorded voice actually has audio in the file. If the voice track has no audio data blocks, the user is advised to re-do the recording and the voice track cart is not committed, either automatically or manually by the user.

  4. Change. The Aux Mark LED has been enlarged to provide a more obvious cue when auto-tracking.

  5. Fix. Certain non-standard data in an exported music data file would cause an AV when being imported. XStudio Voice Tracker now detects and works around these unexpected values.

  6. Fix. XStudio Voice Tracker would erroneously copy a completed voice track to the root directory of the drive on which is was running if a station's voice track transfer audio path was empty. No file copy should have occurred if no transfer audio path was defined.
