Question: If we installed the 313 beta, should we do this one, or are we all set??

Thanks,

No, this supersedes the 313 beta. If you notice in the description of the patch, there were a few additional changes made since the 313 beta came out.

Hi janicelynn,

Don't know what happened, but you should try again at another time, the link is working here this morning.

Sometimes things like that happen, just come back and try the link again at a later time and it should be back up and running for you.

Have fun,

I just tried this - the page no longer exists, and redirects back to the main page.

I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks, I'll have a chance in about 8 hours. I couldn't connect to the PG site later last night (2:00AM Pacific) so there may have been something else going on.
