I finally had the time this weekend to dig around in v.8. Some sounded good, but some had an edge to it that was hard to get rid of. I was at Sunday dinner with in-laws and I was mulling over going back to v.7.
I get home and v8.01 was out. Installed it, played with it and yeah, I think I like the feel of 7 a bit better. There's just a smoothness - almost a silkyness to v7. v8 had a bit of grit to it - an edgyness that was a bit bothersome.
Some probably like that edge. Now we can choose.
I went back and forth with about five of my favorite patches and I liked v7 better on all of them. To be sure...the effect is quite subtle. It may not bother some at all.
But its great to have the choice.
