Oops, I just realized that we never published an announcement for v3.4 on the forum! Here it is!
New Features:
XT-TG Tom-Tom Gate plugin
Polarity Maximizer feature
2 new bundled x42 utility plugins ( stereo-route and midi-map )
Track Rec-safe (prevent a track from arming by right-click on the track's Record-enable, and choosing rec-safe )
Improvements:
MCU protocol now provides knobs for all 4 EQ bands, plus filters. Filters are provided on the “Inst” button ( along with the compressor parameters) ( MB32C only )
Audio/midi files are now imported to "session start" by default
Too many users report they import their first tracks and can't find them.
Create new track by dragging an instrument from the favorites sidebar
Updated German and Russian translations
Option for stereo-only meters (prevents a multi-output instrument from showing dozens of meters in the track header)
Removing multiple tracks is now a one confirmation step.
Adding new tracks ( or opening a session with tracks ) is now faster
Rhythm Ferret improved with new modes and options
Various transient-detection fixes (split region, trim, move, undo,..)
Add option to auto-save post-export-analysis image
Added additional metadata placeholders for post-export command
Support for LV2 plugins that write their own automation lanes
Add Open Target Folder button to Export Dialog
Combined view of all plugins-pins for complete channel.
Loudness normalization during export according to EBU/ITU standards.
Overhauled Region/Range spectrum analyzer: axis-labels, 1/octave weighting, log-scale display.
Consistent Location GUI layout incl. “GoTo” button.
Allow to replace instruments on a MIDI track
Adding a multi-channel instrument displays a dialog to configure number of outputs
Additional metadata placeholder for post-export command
Highlight the track’s comment button if comments are present on a track
Plugin-Bypass bypasses the plugin(s) not Processor. This leaves pin-connections in place.
Switching automation-mode to “touch” writes the current value into the automation from session start to session end. This avoids the case where enabling “touch” on an empty automation track could write the wrong value into automation.
Consistent track+group show/hide column layout in the Mixer sidebar
Mac fixes:
Fixed the song position in some Mac AU plugins
Clever trick to improve AU plugin drawing speed, on affected systems
Significant reworking of AU plugin window, for plugin windows that can resize themselves.
Handle single-bus, non-variable i/o Audio Units w/multiple configurations ( fixes some plugins and instruments )
Windows fixes:
Fixed the song position in some Windows VST plugins
Buffered-i/o setting is now stored and recalled correctly ( special support for Roland Octacapture device )
Linux fixes:
Fix uninstaller for variants (Mixbus32C vs Mixbus) to simplify parallel installation.
Fixes:
Fixed a rare session corruption problem, caused by plugins that changed the locale while we were saving (German, French and Danish locale, using comma as decimal separator)
Adjusting a region's gain with the Range and Draw tools would sometimes affect the region in the track above. This has been fixed.
Ensure that every channel has a fader processor, even if it is missing from the session file.
Fix MTC sync alignment ( we now take MIDI latency into account )
In the plugin redirect box, fix wire display for some unusual pin-connections
Region Properties dialog could cause a hang. This has been fixed.
Add support for accented characters in MIDI file paths
Import->Freesound tab is hidden while we update to the new Freesound search protocol
Fix crash when re-loading a session while using the Mackie control surface
Fix sends on track/bus templates.
En/disable tooltips preference now works correctly.
Fixed display of busses/master on the Meterbridge window after session re-load.
Use strict-i/o on the monitor-section and ignore midi (fixes issues with some plugins)
Fix upsampling during import of multi-channel files
Fix "clicks" when switching fader and trim automation from "manual" to “play” while transport is rolling (always interpolate)
