Absolutely no problem with that, looks really nice! :) The only thing I'd like to bring up is, as I said, before, I think we could integrate many more things into the mixer strips. Geoff was very keen on making the midi strips more useful, which I do agree with, they could contain much more info, someone needs to think through a way of integrating the mixer strip and the trackinfo, if possible. Same goes for the audio strips. There are plenty of useful settings that I think should be shown in the mixer, including a default eq (I was thinking.as a start we could embed a ladspa plugin with a *.ui configuration as we do for the TAP Reverb). I was discussing this with Mathias (hi Mathias!) the other day and a default compressor and auto leveller (as exists in the cubase mixer) would also be awesome improvements.
