Digidesign have announced that Pro Tools 8.0cs2 updates for all versions of Pro Tools 8.0 are now available for download from the Pro Tools CS Updates page in the Support section.
From the technical bulletin….
In addition to previous fixes from Pro Tools 8.0cs1, Pro Tools 8.0cs2 includes the following:
All Platforms (HD, LE, M-Powered, Mac & Windows)
- Fixed: Regions were inadvertently deleted and Pro Tools crashed when opening sessions which had their session start time changed. You may have seen any of the following errors prior to the crash: “Could not complete the close session command because basic_string::_S_create” or “Bus error” in thread “Main Thread”, at address 0×0.”
- Fixed: Crash when moving an automated plug-in from inserts F-J to inserts A-E while the automation lane for one of the plug-in’s parameters is visible.
- Fixed: When using inserts F-J, plug-in automation written to one plug-In will overwrite other automation or be erased. Previously existing automation was overwritten (or erased if the “Plug-In Controls Default to Auto-Enabled” preference was checked) after saving, closing and reopening the session.
HD & LE Only (Mac & Windows)
- Fixed: With a surround send, pan automation got stuck in one channel on playback when sends were assigned to a bus sub-path and used the “follow main pan” function, send pan automation may have got stuck and not play back dynamically. This applies to Pro Tools HD users, and Pro Tools LE with Complete Production Toolkit users only.
- Fixed: Avid video playback was offset by pre-roll amount when Pro Tools was online, when chasing time code and simultaneously playing back Avid video via Mojo, Mojo SDI, or AVoption|V10 hardware, setting pre-roll in Pro Tools would cause picture to be offset by the pre-roll amount. Additionally, video playback would stop before the end of the video clip.
HD, LE, M-Powered Mac Only
- Fixed: Magic ID error when sessions were opened. In certain cases sessions would not open due to the following error: “Could not complete the Open Session command because magic ID does not match while translating Session Window Config.” This error was more likely to occur in tandem with very large track counts (~100) and long (>1 hour) recordings.
- Fixed: Mouse offset and general GUI problems with third party plug-ins such as Addictive Drums or UVI Workstation would not function correctly under Pro Tools 8. Mouse clicks were vertically offset and parts of the plug-in GUI would not draw correctly.
HD Mac Only
- Fixed: Logic 8 crashes when DAE and Pro Tools HD hardware were used. Logic Pro 8.x would unexpectedly quit when attempting to record audio via Pro Tools hardware and DAE.
It is also interesting that they have even fixed a Logic related issue. Well with all these fixes I am off to download it, what about you?It is nice to see that they have picked up on the problems reported on the DUC regarding the GUI problems with some third party plug-ins that I commented on back on 22nd January 2009.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
