version 1.16 (w20a)
Mixer4 is now even leaner! Memory needed for vca's, busses, and reverb will not be allocated unless needed.
Minor memory optimizations were made to the wavefile construction engine.
Important fix: Limiter on bus or master fader if set to 0 threshold will cause boosted output on some systems.
Changed method of calculating secondary reflection timing in trev effect to be more true to the room.
Added suggestions on how to reduce room size or tap number in trev when room size is too large.
Despite extensive testing, this release should be considered a beta release since there were many changes!
