CD Spin Doctor Changes in 3.5/3.5a

1.CD Spin Doctor Sound Morph capabilities: 

2.CD Spin Doctor now includes Sound Morph special effects to give your music a unique twist. 
  These effects include:

  (1)GenderBlender: Changes the age or gender of a voice

  (2)Metalizer: Adds a robot-like voice effect

  (3)Concert Hall: Converts monaural to stereo, and widens the stereo image.

  (4)Reverb: Adds echo and presence to a recording.

  (5)TalkBox: Adds a talk box like effect.

  (6)TimeWarp: Provides various ways of degrading the signal and adds noises such as pops, 
     clicks scratches and distortion to reproduce '40s & '50s retro sounds.

3."Real Time" CD Spin Doctor: CD Spin Doctor allows you to take your scratchy old LPs, clean
   up the clicks and pops, then record the cleaned up music to CD. Now, with Easy CD Creator
   Deluxe version 3.5, you can preview and adjust the cleaned up audio track before actually
   starting the recording, allowing more flexibility and control of the recording.

4.Enhanced track splitting. In addition to the old option for threshold-based silence detection, 
  we also permit specification of the desired number of tracks. 

Fixed in 3.5a

1.Drive "pinging" during recording (CD-ROM light flashes constantly during and sometimes after 
  recording, even if the recording does not involve the CD-ROM drive): This feature was 
  introduced in version 3.01d in an attempt to resolve the problem that spindown (a power-saving 
  feature of some, particularly newer, CD-ROM drives) could cause buffer underruns, but this 
  proved to cause more problems that it resolved on some systems, including locked CD-ROM drives.

2.In Windows NT, when a data session was recorded using the Yamaha 4260, when the CD is 
  re-inserted into the drive Windows Explorer cannot access the CD and displays an "Incorrect 
  Function" message. The system must be rebooted to access the CD. 

3.Renaming or copying a file 33 characters or longer in Joliet caused GPF.

4.Recording or extracting audio tracks (on some systems), some tracks were truncated by two seconds.

5.After a Recorder System Test, default recorder speed was always set to 1x.

6.Creator's window behavior was incorrect under Windows98 / Microsoft Internet Explorer: 
  Double-clicking on a folder caused its contents to be displayed in a new window.

7.Validate Layout caused an error message with the Bootable CD option when the layout included 
  files from a floppy disk.

8.Sony CDU948S would not "stick" at 4x recording speed and always defaulted to 2x.

9.Some CD-ROM drives were erroneously reported as being Sony drives (Goldstar, Aopen, and others).
