THIS IS A BIG ONE, PLEASE READ BEFORE UPDATING!

Feature: Playlists are now optional!!!!! Read on to see how this works.

Playlist collection is a feature that must be enabled for all existing snapshots or none. It is found in the settings pane. If you try to change its status when there are already snapshots in the app you will get an error message informing you it's impossible. If you try to make a Selected Tracks Playlist pass while they are disabled you will get an error message explaining that it isn't possible. In a future update I will add a visual indication of the status of this pref and generally clean up the UI.

Why did I do it? There was a comment that it takes quite a while to set up each Selected Tracks Solo Pass and Selected Tracks Mute Pass. This is because of the need to collect playlist information from every selected track whenever you add a pass. Without the playlist info it is instantaneous to add these passes, meaning that if you don't plan on switching playlists for any mix passes you can speed up the Snapshot creation process by a huge amount.

What are the potential problems? None as long as you don't change any playlists in the session...

If you don't need the bug fix and want to always use playlists I would say hold off on updating from 1.0.5 until this has gotten a bit of a soak. I've tested it here, but we all know that doesn't mean it's 100% set.

1.0.7

Another big one!!!

New playlist implementation - Solo and Mute passes no longer know about playlists and inherit their setting from the snapshot. Much faster mix pass creation.

The long version:

The playlist implementation in 1.0.6 was bugging me so I've completely re-worked it and I think 1.0.7 gives you the best of both worlds.

Selected Track Solo and Mute passes are now instantaneous to create. A huge relief to me as well, I hated how long it took in the released version. Because of this, those two types of mix passes don't know about playlists and will always be set to the same playlists as the Standard Mix Pass (basically, however you have them set when you click Proceed while making the snapshot).

Playlist pass still works as it ever did, but is much faster to make.

Other than a playlists pass, the only other type of pass that is aware of playlist settings is the MiniSnap.

Hopefully this makes more sense, the three types of mix pass that can be made quickly from buttons on the main page only know about the parameter they are designed to change, the MiniSnap knows about all three.

The only thing you might want to make a separate snapshot for that involves playlists would be if you wanted to print a batch of stems with different playlists. You could add each one as a MiniSnap, but that would take a while. Just add them as stems in a Snapshot set to one of the playlists, then add them to a second Snapshot with the other playlists selected.

Hopefully this all makes sense.

1.0.8
Fix: User settings can now be retrieved from older versions of Pro Tools (11.7 in particular)
