Comments and corrections.

If be the audio files are no longer required to be CBR then why is there a caution note on page 11?

Page 15 para 2 sentence 4 I believe the word should 'and' not 'van'.


Check for:
This is for errors in the xlight manual.
Page 75
Under Prerequisite information
The word 'than' should be 'then'. Sentence 2

One or multiple colors can be used for the effect. If multiple colors are selected, than the ColorWash will use the selected colors repeating the colors depending on the ‘count’ setting


Page 74
In the 'Options: Blend Edges' box
The word 'thee' should be the.

Each edge blends to black. Turning it off converts the fan effect to a full circle at thee
end of each swell.


Note, reading is still underway.

If I'm not mistaking, the elimination of CBR happened with 2016.10.  The manual is only up to date (in theory), to version 2016.09.

There will always be errors and omissions.  We appreciate the feedback in order to get things corrected for everyone.

In the Wiki, there are two links to the user manual.  The link to Sean's nutcracker page with the software downloads has the latest update to the manual.  The direct link to the manual however, seems to be version 1.2 still.
