Hans great job on the new MB, just 15 days away and changed a lot ...
Look-Ahead would be welcome, with a delay between 1 and 3 msg even better.

One thing which has not changed is how the parameters change with mouse. I expect my rant to be taken with a pinch of salt.
In previous UI I could use keyboard for continuously toggling/scaling up and down the values. Not anymore with the new UI.
Plus, the change with mouse pointer is either way too coarse or way too fine. With mouse scroll it's way too fine always.

Since my attempts at discussing the CPU load for older systems have been very unfruitful, I have a question for you, and Hans, Bojcha, and anyone else that wants to comment.

I downloaded your new preset just a few minutes ago. I was highly confused by the low CPU load, where "low" means on my system it fluctuates between 45 and 65 percent versus the 95-100% I was expecting. I went looking to see why, and noticed that you had reduced the quality slider under configuration to 50%. Bumping that up to 100% ended up with Task Manager reported CPU load of 97-99%. No stuttering, but I'm sure it was probably on the edge of stuttering, and would've if I had been trying to do anything else on my computer.

Question for everyone, although mainly for Hans: Is there a diminishing return point for this setting, similar to the "Strictness (CPU)" setting in Advanced Clipper? If so, what do you think that point is, and can it be established as a default?

On my system I must go down to 50% the Quality Slider, otherwise I feel the same as you. I have an AMD dual core and suffering enough!

Really? What AMD exactly? I have one AMD dual core here .. and cpu load is good, especially after multicoe optimizations.

One other thing, the old UI used to display precise dB values corresponding to the multiplier, eg: +6.00 dB for 2.00/ +9dB for 2.828427124746190097603... and so on.
This is not the case now. Not sure if the inaccuracy is merely at the UI level or it even affects the calculations in audio internals.

You never used this thing?! Ow.... Well, this depends on the latency. At latency 512 or 1024, you should really stay as close as possible to 100%. Basically, you can see it like this: Quality 50% at latency 4096 still outperforms quality 100% at latency 2048. I'm not lowering the defaults because I don't want to compromise the quality if it's not necessary, but I would say that at latency 4096 you can safely drop the quality slider to 50-70%. (In fact, in version 5.00 70% was the default, but as PC's got faster and the total audio quality improved I changed it to 100%).
