Hi Jared, Regarding install of 0.106.0, you should be able to just download the blue_0.106.0_installer.jar and run the installer and install over your older installation (unless you've manually edited config files or something, which most people don't do). Otherwise, I'm actually close to releasing a 0.107.0 now that has auto-detection of devices for sound/midi drivers so that you can pick a driver, click a button and select from a list what card you want to use(have to test coreaudio later tonight), so that should also help with your setting up for realtime. (Next couple of days I think, whenever I can next sync my laptop to internet). steven On 7/13/06, jared <mic...@ms...> wrote: > > > > > Hey Steven, thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
