  RE: [Feedback] How do you like version 8.0.8.29 ?

  Great to have a light skin and be able to use 32 bit plug ins. This is all I asked for to be able to finally transfer to AP8 after all these years using AP7, so thank you! Next maybe also allow the tint on the tracks themselves to be made lighter as
