Comment... Question: What's your take on this? llama-group.com/wp-content/uploads...(TL;DR the people who own Winamp are open sourcing it) Asked by Kevin (152.173.97.x) on May 16 2024, 7:57pm Reply on May 17 2024, 2:40am: Hopefully they GPL it!

Question: Dear Justin, I've searched extensively on forums and couldn't find an answer. Is there a way to modify the default behavior of routing a multi-channel track so that it sends all channels to another multi-channel track, instead of just "channels 1-2"? This is crucial for handling templates with hundreds of tracks. I tried using the SetTrackSendInfo_Value method for scripting, but it didn't work as expected. Thank you for your help.

Question: Which countries have you been to? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on May 7 2024, 2:38pm Reply on May 7 2024, 7:23pm: The big North American ones, a few in the Caribbean, maybe 8 or so in Europe and Tahiti. Comment...
