Given the audio engine now sums in 64bit, do all the built-in effects and instruments now output at 64bit?

Minor minor point but still would be interesting to know :)

I dont understand this. Should I click ctrl in the help menu? Is there an additional menu command showing up or what?

cheers

Such as the session grid, the midi clip view, the waveform view, the heirachic view (bottom right corner), the rack chain list(vertical), racks (horizontal) etc, etc.


you press ctrl& alt to make the hand appear.

OMG! Photoshop style! I've thought of this improvement, it's terrific! It's so much more convenient to scroll around

be careful when soloing routed tracks.

sometimes when you have a track going to a Send/Return and another track goes to it, you will have that other track in the same group even though its not in the same channel IO routing.

also i have found that if you have an EXT Device, no matter what its routed to, it will not mute when soloing other tracks.

If you click Help > Get Support a new tab opens.

in there is a line "Show the preferences folder". Click on the word "Show".

a couple of other questions about midi genrating vstis :

-does live still remaps all midi messages coming out of a vst to channel 1 ?
-can midi ccs generated by plugins be used to 'remote control' params in the midi learn mode ?

seriously with the second one, the abes wouldn't even have tother making lfo plugins etc for a little while...

don't expect any positive answers about these i must say :(

This is all truly exciting stuff and I'm happy to see all you betageeks getting you're rocks off but...
1) How do all these new improvemnets affect CPU drain?
2) Will I need to get the printed manual this time around, this is way too much to digest. :?

it's hard to tell about the CPU, cause there's some debug code in it.
but well, i can't really see the difference with L6.
