Anyone else hearing what I'm hearing? It really does sound different to me, at least.
Did something else change? Shapes of the skirts on the filters? Default noise blanking settings? I have long simply taken the defaults on all this stuff and it never did me wrong. I used 1.4.5 for a long time. Eric Wachsmann wrote: >Larry, > >We haven't changed the functionality. Perhaps the default Max Gain setting >is different.
