Version: 10.0c.182

Team ENCO is pleased to announce that version 10.0c of the ENCO Applications package is now available for download and general use.

The single setupENCO-100c.exe package handles both New Installs and Updates for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro only (and Windows 2003 Server for utility apps). We are highly recommending the use of Windows XP Pro (service pack 3) with a min of 512MB RAM. Vista (in any form) is not recommended at all. Windows7 x86 is now supported (non-Digigram audio limited to single channel devices).

This bundled package includes: DAD, GateWay, DropBox, CutServer, AudioCVT and most ENCO utilities. There are no separate installers for these applications that were previously released independantly of each other.

A UNIQUE REBUILD (UR) is REQUIRED if updating to this version from anything prior to 10.0a!

Remember when doing a UR, all applications (DAD, DADpro, DADpro32, Gateway, DropBox, CutServer, etc.) must be exited so that one machine may gain exclusive access to the CUTS database (library) so a UR can run.

Updating any DAD on a network to 10.0a or later requires ALL DAD's using that network database be updated to at least version 10.0a!!

We also highly recommend rebuilding your Quick Search database/index whenever doing a UR.
Contact ENCO Support if you need assistance with any of this.

If upgrading from prior to version 4.0a, we recommend the download and use of the latest CheckDAD utility to "pre-check" any machines you plan on updating. CheckDAD.exe can be found at either:
http://www.enco.com/new/download_area.htm or: ftp://ftp.enco.com/pub/utilities/CheckDAD.exe

You can download the ENCO setup file from:
the ENCO web site: http://www.enco.com/download_area.htm
or the ENCO ftp site: ftp://ftp.enco.com/pub/win32/setupENCO-100c.exe

The complete DAD.txt "readme" file is available here: ftp://ftp.enco.com/pub/win32/dad.txt and in your own DAD workstations (c:\dad\readme\dad.txt) and in the SETUP/CFI&README/README button within DAD itself.

The latest DAD additions and corrections:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      DAD 10.0c.182 (July 01.2010)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Corrected a problem with the CD Ripper not being able to rip more than one track.  Introduced in 10.0b with ripping > 25minute tracks
 
  Playlist Reports now working correctly
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      DAD 10.0b.180 (June 29.2010)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Added support for multiple device audio cards using a new audio device mapping tool to DAD’s Audio Board Definition screen. This allows every Input and Output Device defined here to be tied directly to a specific Device Name presented by the Operating System.  This is required when using any multi-channel board with Windows 7. It can also be useful with WinXP and Win2000 as it enables DAD to use a both WAVE and WDM based audio drivers at the same time.
  To enable this new feature the DAD CFI file must have the following setting:
     [AUDIO]
     MIXER_DEFINED_VII=TRUE     (default is false on non W7 machines and auto set to true on W7 machines)
       This new “Mixer_Defined_VII” method adds the new device mapping information to the DAD mixer file for the workstation. This means an existing mixer file can be upgraded for DAD v10.0a use simply by entering the Configure Audio Boards/ Audio Board Definition screen and making the appropriate device assignments. All other mixer settings are preserved and function as they always have. This also means a new mixer file that contains a device map can still be used with a previous DAD version because it will ignore the new entries.
       The new Audio Board Definition Screen also allows each user defined audio board to be given a user-friendly name for easy identification.
  
  Improvements made to Ensemble:
    a) No longer allows duplicate ClockID's
    b) Simplified the process for adding events to clocks.  Only applicable fields are shown based on the event type being added
    c) Double clicking a Clock element no longer deletes it
    d) Changes to Clock Group associations are now dynamic - no longer requiring the Group button to be pressed
    e) Ensemble flagged Groups now appear in the Clocks Group Menu immediately after they are added - no longer requiring a DAD restart
    f) Handling Clock saves better.  Was too easy to cancel the changes made
    g) Added Rule Violation report to REPORTS
    h) Corrected problems with Playlist Naming during Generate - wasn't following Ensemble->Setup and wasn't being saved.

  Added support for every Button label in Presenter to be set externally in the CFI.   Very useful when translating to languages like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc.
 
  Improved the Shift-F5 button relabling feature so all changes are auto-saved.  Some were not being saved.
 
  Added INSTATRIM to the CD RIPPER
   
  Added Play History to Playlist Modify (RightClick on Playlist event to Play History)
 
  Corrected the Modify After Rip dialog to properly support the choices presented.
 
  The CD Ripper now supports individual tracks longer than 25 minutes
 
  Play History tool in Presenter now more closely tied to what cut you hilite in other tools.  When History tool is displayed - select a cut in any other tool and press REGEN to get the history for that cut.
 
  New coloring for the NumberOfPlays field.   %datadir%\dad\files\NUMPLAYS.ini looks like this:
      [Colors]
      0=
      1=Yellow
      2=Green
      3=Blue
      4=Orange
      5=Red
    When displaying the NoPlays (number of plays) field in any list - the background color of the "cell" will be the color specified in the INI.  Similar to the GROUPS field/cell coloring.  Useful when list is sorted by NoPlays and user is looking for least played cuts.
 
  The "NEXT" dcl has been changed to support Presenter.  Ex:   NEXT PRESENTER
 
  Added more Generate Cut Number options to the CD Ripper to include using CutRangeDefs.ini to assist number generation within the specified group.
 
  Corrected a problem with Airplay Play and Talk Countdown Timers after using AUDITION.  They were not reseting to normal mode when the Audition was completed.
 
  Sorting by Album now correctly works regardless of selected Group - used to sort only when ALL was selected
  
  Tracker waveforms no longer disappear when dragging them around or when you try to change their fadein fadeout
    
  RightClick Library->Copy/MoveToLibrary now properly supports using either the mouse or the keyboard arrows to select the destination Library.   The AudioLoc was not changing properly when using arrow keys.
 
  Stabilized the Single File Playlist option.  Had problems in certain configurations.   Note that playlists used for this feature should contain PCM16 OR MPEG - but not mix both.
 
  Playlists now properly display recently added fields (Actor, Actress, Director, Lyricist)
 
  Library->QuickSearch graphic anomaly corrected
 
  Library->Reports->Playlist now properly displays library field data
 
  AudioCVT utility now properly changes the extension after converting in place

Enjoy!
