I tested it and it helps, but adding these options feels like putting bandages on a bigger design issues that are not very easy to solve. There are so many buttons for skin options at the top that it's kinda overwhelming. However, I think trying to implement better solutions to those design challenges would take a lot of effort that shouldn't delay 1.12.
Any thoughts on the general outline I proposed? [master gain][balance][head mix][head gain][4/2 deck toggle] [Deck 1][Deck 1/2 mixer][Deck 2] waveform 1 waveform 2 waveform 3 waveform 4 [Deck 3][Deck 3/4 mixer][Deck 4] On 06/06/2015 01:04 PM, Owen Williams wrote: > "thanks" as in, you tested it and it works well?
