Some Things not in at the Moment, but coming next…

NOTICE TO ALL: 
If you rely on any of the below features in old BaseHead, then hold off on upgrading to 2024   until you see that feature have been added in.

 

  • Process Panel: Plugin Rack on Process Panel.  (In Progress)
  • Cloud Licenses Pooling (Done but needs in house testing)
  • Database Sharing/Syncing over LAN and WAN (will come after initial release)
  • License Pooling via our new License Server as we are ditching CodeMeter in this version.
  • Burn In and Text File Import Panels: (coming after the initial release as they are non-essentials)
  • Licensing: Ability to read Usb.key file from an External USB drive.  This will be replaced with a way to copy all settings to an external drive and read and write them from there.
  • NodeTree:  The Wwise node (will come after initial release)

Other Road Mapped Features

Dropped Features or Technologies in 2024

  • ReWire: basehead Connect replaces this ancient horrible old tech.
  • CodeMeter (We will make our own pool-able licenses system that is lighter and more modern)
  • VST2 is Replaced with VST3 in this version
  • The Browser Page: Replaced by the new ‘Explode Folders’ function for ‘Imports’.
  • BaseHead Server (cubeSQL): We  made our own in house integrated version that is coming soon!
  • RAM Database:  No longer needed cuz searching is way faster then with RAM DB Search ON in old BH.
  • Spotting to Generic Non-Hardwired DAWs. If they never made modern API, SDK or Scripting language the DAW is no longer supported besides via Drag and Drop.
  • ‘Auto-Switching Paths’:  We decided it’s not worth porting this code since it’s more for non-hardwired DAW’s.  Basically…If the DAW manufacture doesn’t have an API we will no longer support them besides via Drag and Drop.
