Yup, it was a great pleasure to see the new features in NAMM. I posted some pics on FB and glad there was no NDA involved 🙂
For me the new compressor and the Dante cards are biggest news. And yes- talkback groups and SIP as well. Not sure if direct outs following DCA mute/fader is in 1.72 or just coming with 1.8, but this is really important for my theatre colleagues using Stagetracker.
