Looks awesome! I'll try it out this weekend. You know if it provides compression ratio options like the frontend?

Appears that you can save your split tracks to FLAC, saving a step and HD space. I'll let you know more when I try it.

I get an error when trying to play back a 24/48 file that says, "The specified format is not supported or cannot be translated. Use the Capabilities function to determine the supported formats."

Of course, I don't see any capabilities function, and 24/48 works fine in v1.91. I'll send the author a bug report.

There is an option in the save dialog to save as FLAC with compression level options.
