• Channel 5 and 6 did not correctly show limiter activity when Input Source was set to Aux In.
• Clip indicator showed twice for one clipping event.
• Changing headphone gain while in the Solo/Mute screen caused incorrect monitoring and routing of signals to the headphone output.

• Engaging record with a full SD card inserted created small files.
