Some nice improvements in there! Thanks, devs. Little things mean so much...

Here in Oz we're not actually saying that the Brits will be guinea pigs, but we're watching closely...

And we're very worried today about the single new case we've had. Where did that come from???

Still on 6.15 because of some reported issues/regressions. I guess the tempo problem with media files imported from elsewhere than the Media Explorer has been fixed.

6.18, is it safe?

I`m on full self isolation since mid february due to my health & believe me I am pretty sick of it, even with my dear wife at home with me.

Whilst I don`t trust the current government any further than I could throw them (all at once) at least there is a strong possibility that the research into the effectiveness of the upcoming vaccines will be properly done.

I just wish all the stupid knobheads that are STILL ignoring the law regarding wearing masks and the recommendations on social distancing, etc., would get themselves arrested and fined rather than everyone tiptoeing around them like THEY are the ones at risk, not the rest of us because of their idiotic behaviour.

Nicely put.

I will not update this time, because VST scanning is a mess in version 6.18. Improve startup scanning?? It takes way longer now and also if you want to select a new plugin in a track, it takes longer. Win7 64 bit

Naji,
Working with 6.18 all day today.No problems with scanning times or selecting plugins .
Faster startup.I do notice Izotope pluigins are slowest to scan,but that’s always been the case for me anyway.
Using Windows 10 latest build 12gb ram,i7 ASUS laptop.

Excellent use of the term 'knobheads'.
