Improvements? The clean audio folder utility needs a desperate overhaul. It'd be nice if it just stuck to the folder I point it to, but it insists on searching the entire drive and taking forever. It crashes all the time now but it used to work for me. I've resorted to the tedious saving projects as a bundle and re-opening them at the end of a project to get rid of extraneous files.
The longstanding bug that when you solo a bus that has a hardware insert and then it just mutes instead should be fixed. That one is pretty dire.
I assume Ara2 is on the drawing board for whenever it is Melodyne gets around to releasing the new version.
Am I nuts or did bandlab return the stereo interleave and phase buttons back to the track view?! I refuse to believe....but if so, Bandlab has my undying loyalty in correcting a grievous oversight that has been a black mark on the x series since it was first unveiled. I still think whoever's idea it was at Cakewalk to remove that should have been fired at the first meeting after it was released though. But seriously - this just made my year.
