Andrew,

Thanks for updates.

I just d-Loaded and installed.
RealBand does not seem to reflect the 427.
Did About click and did not see it.

Am finishing a new UserTracks so wanted to make sure stereo was there.
The new UT does not seem right, but could also be my sourcing.

Hi Frank
It's a BiaB update, not a RealBand update, so I don't think you would expect to see a revision change in RB.

The latest RealBand is 2016 build 2

Trev
Right on, forgot all about that aspect.

Thank you.
Is this update for the 2016 version of BB?

I did get an update request recently but I thought it was the 2015 update that was trying to be added so I stopped it.

Thanks
I guess so now that I read it all...Doh..thanks
Andrew. How about the overlap of the Audio button by the mixer? I can't expand my laptop screen any bigger so the Audio button is always overlapped. If I select the Normal screen window then the Audio button is completely behind the mixer window. Are they going to fix that soon? It's not a deal breaker but some people might view this as sloppy programing. Just a thought. Note that this was brought up several times during beta.

Perhaps a future version might have changes in the User Interface that would allow individual selection of these controls, including the mixer.

(In the meantime, Control-T might make the Audio radio-button viewable)
