[[Attachment:0]]A new Beta update is available.
Key Features
Layout Switching
You can now switch between 'Place and Route Devices' and 'Pick Sounds and Compose'. This supports the traditional Audiotool routing method and allows fast transitions between detailed device editing and quick sketching without workspace reconfiguration. When using the classic Audiotool workflow, editors now replace the studio panel.
If you are on smaller screens these changes should help. Keep your feedback coming!
Bounce Track
Audio can be bounced directly from a mixer strip to a sample. Choose between the full track or the selected loop range, which is similar to the “Bounce Timeline” feature in the previous Studio version.
Soundbar
The Soundbar offers a compact view of the entire signal chain, including all effects. Effects can be reordered directly within this view, eliminating the need to move them on the desktop. It also allows navigation to instruments on the desktop, and adding or removing effects.
Curated Templates
New projects can be started from feature templates or complete demo tracks. Note for the future: This is the first step towards private and community templates.
Details
Audio Engine
*Updated engine and booster to version 0.5.5. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d6GNuKxb0Tna9TvupVbU8TkFernPgqUK
*The engine now handles extremely short samples (samples under ~7ms duration will default to pitch mode).
UI Updates
***Copy/Paste Tracks: **Selected timeline tracks can be copied and pasted with the entire FX chain. Using Alt+Ctrl+V pastes them in place as single tracks.
*List selection now supports range selection using Shift, and individual item toggling with Ctrl/Cmd.
***Mixer/Stagebox: **Multiple selected strips can now be deleted simultaneously.
***Mixer: **Channel strip FX labels have been adjusted for clearer identification of the referenced effect.
*Timeline and desktop stability and speed have been improved.
*Desktop: Added 'Connect to' context menu option to devices for easier device connection.
*MIDI Editor: Context menu Quantize is now synchronized with the quantize settings in the MIDI editor side panel.
***Mixer: **A mini-display for the mixer group aux insert effect chain has been added.
***Mixer: **Clicking solo on one mixer channel now un-solos other channels, unless Shift is held.
***Preferences: **More settings and state (e.g., loop range) are now stored locally per user and project and persist after reloading.
*Minor speed enhancements in the timeline.
UI Bug Fixes
*Fixed an issue preventing large projects from opening on low-performance devices; project data now loads in batches.
*Timeline: Fixed mute/solo buttons not displaying on specific track types.
***Transport: **Fixed inaccurate time display calculation when tempo automation is present.
*Fixed a crash that occurred in scenarios where the signal was looping through a Centroid.
Keep testing in new projects. Let us know what still needs work.#

Can you do me a favor and fill out the "Share Feedback" form in the hub/studio? This way its guaranteed the team will look into it.
Everyone who wants/needs this ... spam us with the "Share Feedback" form in the hub or studio ;-)
Let's gooooo!
Love it. Big ups to the Audiotool Team. That's a big update there my friends. . I'm used to seeing that Bounce Track feature on Ableton, which allows us to condense all our sounds down into 1 Sample which is super handy feature and a space saver. Go Audiotool Team.
bro why the fuck can't I click on a new project? this useless version of audio tool wont let me use this new version bruh
Highly appreciated for the info ❤️
Hm, that's not supposed to happen and doesn't on this end. If possible pls report the issue with as much detail as you can give via https://tally.so/r/mD87Pp
We'll look into and may reach out to you in case more detail is needed.
can u import midi files?
Not quite yet. It‘s on the list.
betttt
I think a roadmap/planned features/fixes would be cool to have, just to see what might happen in the future
guys, we should do that rn
got you
Sorry if this has been asked already but will we be able to open current audiotool drafts and published tracks in the new platform once it leaves beta?
Yup - absolutely
I'm happy with the templates update! Cool one! :~)
Good to hear that :)
thank you for asking fr ! only thing keeping me from fully diving back in this
perhaps we shall test it out
i got u too
why is the UI with all the devices are on the left side of the screen instead of the right that is
why
the update is definitely far more tolerable to look at than the first one, i'll give it that for sure (especially since y'all did keep the promise of retaining some of the old studio look but with a new shiny special sparkle coat put in place lol)
but i guess i slightly despise beta now, like. ever so slightly. my doubtmaxxing will continue while beta continues improving or something idk
i cant deny i am intrigued to see what new things the UI and overall look and feel of beta in the continued future
but for now, im just... lurking and seeing what's changing
You know - my old friend - sometimes in life, you have opportunities right in front of you. And you can take them and get yourself heard by the right audience.

;)
For me, I noticed that when I opened up my drafts in the beta version, the quality of my tracks sounded very different. Is this a temporary thing, or is this still going to continue when the beta version gets released?
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed my tracks being fucked up in this beta thing.
Sorry for late reply. If you find noticable sound difference, we would like to know the specific examples. At best pls fill out the form https://tally.so/r/mD87Pp for each track separate or all at once to make it a bit faster. and pls point us to the tracks/sounds/devices that sound different.
Yup, I noticed that too. For me I'm not worried about going in and doing anything to my older tracks. Personally, I think it's because of the changes as far as the LPF and HPF and the new way we can compress our sounds, along with the new Receiver in beta, which gives us channels. All that I think takes a little bit of a factor when it comes to our older projects. Plus the mixers that were involved in those projects. I don't know, might should let that one go.....That's just me though.
Super impressed so far by the New Audiotool. Big ups to the AT team....Lovin it so far my friends. LOL..You could say it's so much "Beta"!!!!
found another bug:
I am using a KeyRig 49 midi piano and as i try to record the notes; 2 to 3 bars in it stops the recordings, and displays a message
"Opss"
"Something went wrong"
"Please reload the page"
can you fix this as this is become way to frustrating to work with and lmk when it's fixed
Thanks for reporting this. Could you please submit this bug using our report form so we can track and investigate it properly?
https://tally.so/r/mD87Pp
Please include as many details as possible (browser, OS, steps to reproduce, etc.), and if you can attach a screenshot or short video, that would be very helpful. This will make it much easier for the team to diagnose and fix the issue.
booster 0.5.6 is out -> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d6GNuKxb0Tna9TvupVbU8TkFernPgqUK
not sure if it's just me or what but all my projects from the old version of audiotool that i open in the new version have every slope device set to 100% resonance
its not just you
