Well really great, but I have some issues/questions :

1) FADER SIZE FOR BIG SCREENS :

they advertise that 1.1 allows bigger faders for big screens, but I don't see any option anywhere... the faders are really little on my 24"... the space is vastly occupied by the pre and post insert black slots... that I use so little, I'd better be able to resize at will???

any clue on how to resize the faders and meters???

2) TEMPO:

I have imported tracks for a song at 140. the new session is at 120, then I enter the new 140 BPM, but NO. the TEMPO text becomes something like "1$$", and nothing changes in the "bars:beats line", that stays at 120.

3) CPU is crazy while exporting at 24bits 44khz wav, hitting 130%, making my macbook 2,4ghz' fan going nuts for a minute.

Hope it's safe for the computer...

4) SNAPSHOTS :

switching snapshots is weird. It works OK, but ardour seems to need to RELOAD the audio files. It's quick, but not as quick as I'd like it to be, it's not really easy to A/B with this option. maybe it was not designed for that purpose, but it would be great if it was much more quick (not having to reload everything!!)

Anyway, it's a pleasure to mix with HMB. And I had never experienced pleasure while mixing in my usual DAW (ableton live, I know, not really designed for mixdowns...)

cheers
