I've been hangin' with X2 and the quick fix and doing ok. Other than some minor glitches which I can work around I'm pretty content. What's the verdict on 2A? I downloaded it but I haven't installed it yet. Thanks.

Ran the patch here. Seems to work OK, no worse than X2. Like you X2 was working pretty good. I do try to stay current though.

Just tested.. fix the Now Time missing bug related to saving (Ctrl-S) X2 while another window (Console, etc..) is on top.

So X2a is only better.

+1 on the update. The PRV graphics in the track pane are much better, I no longer get a crash browsing audio files, and there's a whole bunch of minor niggles fixed.

X2a is definitely a lot better. We finally can control ProChannel modules again from the VS-700C

Karl, how's the MCU now as regards ProChannel? Anything improved?

Just upgraded from from X1D to X2A,
and all working fine for me [a couple of niggles, mainly staff view]

Er.....no. That really is my pet peeve. Fantastic sounding, ergonomic ProChannel that I can't control from a well known popular control surface.

Luckily I have an ACT surface that does work well with it but I really wish CW would update the MackieControl.dll. Must be even more frustrating for those relying solely on the MCU.

The update is working well here too. Though not every single bug is gone yet.

Garry,


Could you please share what functionality in the staff view has degraded from when you moved from X1D to X2A?


Thanks.
