Thanks for this suggestion. I have moved from working w video & audio in Vegas Pro to working with just audio and I will check this out when I'm finished w my current audio podplay project, which I'm doing in Vegas Pro 17.
I believe it's extremely telling that Matrix hasn't weighed in at all on this and that if one gets an error in Vegas 17, one is prompted to download an updated version one already has. So it's pretty obvious, Matrix only cares about marketing whatever new version they have and doesn't give a hoot about long-time Vegas Pro users.
