Typical applications of versions include:
l
Create a version before making major changes to the song, so you can revert to the old version if it's
not such a good idea after all.
l
Try different mixes and store as versions. Note that you can not only change mixer settings, but edit
audio and MIDI tracks as well.
audio and MIDI tracks as well.
l
Create a version of any mixes you send to someone, just in case they later feel the old one was
better.
Create Version
The Song menu's Create Version option pops up the Create Version dialog which lets you type a name for
the version to be created. If there are modifications in the song which haven't been saved yet you can
choose whether you want to include the modifications in the version or not. This can come in handy if you
open a song and start tweaking the mix: if you think you're onto something good you can still create a
open a song and start tweaking the mix: if you think you're onto something good you can still create a
version of the song as it was when you opened it, just in case the new mix appears to be not so good after
all.
Revert to Version
The Song menu's Revert to Version item lists all available versions. Tooltips show information about the
versions, like the date it was created. You can revert to a version by clicking it. If there's no version that
equals the song in its current state a version equaling the current state will be created. These automatically
equals the song in its current state a version equaling the current state will be created. These automatically
created versions are named "Autosave Version 1" etc.
Autosave
Some versions are created automatically:
l
Autosave (safety backup) : This version is created every 15 minutes. If the computer crashes you
can open the song again and revert to this version in order to minimize the amount of work lost. The
version is created when the transport is stopped.
l
Autosave (discarded version) : This version is created if you choose to discard the changes when
the song is closed. If you regret this you can open the song again and revert to this version.
Note 1: Autosave versions aren't created until the song has been saved for the first time.
Note 2: Audio files themselves are not stored in the version files, so if you edit an audio file using a third
party editor all versions using that file will be affected. You can make a copy of a file and edit the copy to
party editor all versions using that file will be affected. You can make a copy of a file and edit the copy to
avoid this.
Note 3: The versions mechanism assumes there's only one song in a folder (ie. it assumes every versions it
finds in the song's folder is a version of the current song). This is likely the case with MultitrackStudio 5 or
finds in the song's folder is a version of the current song). This is likely the case with MultitrackStudio 5 or
newer, but you might want to make sure this is the case with songs you created with older versions before
reverting to a version.
Note 4: Some third-party demo version VST/DX plugins pop up a 'demo limitation' message window when
the plugin settings are written to file. These messages will appear whenever a version is created.

Under the hood
A version file (.hdrversion file extension) is a song file which also contains the .mid and .aem track data.
2.3 Song Properties
In the Song Properties window, reached via the Song menu's Properties option, you can change mixer and
samplerate settings. It also shows file related information.
The Sample Rate box specifies the sample rate to be used for audio recording/playback. Usually the
default value (44.1 kHz) will be used, as this is the value used on CDs. The bottom entry of the drop down
list lets you make the current value the one to be used for new songs.
The Enable Mixer button enables/disables the mixer. Disabling the mixer can be useful if you want to play
