No, not silly. AE is working pretty well but not perfectly. So I did restart it - and the MV now works, as does the output level. But the EQ controls don't seem to do anything at all.
No biggie, I have it dialed in from the front panel.
I'm still sort of new around here - is this worthy of a bug report? I'm not much of a complainer, but if it would help, I'll gladly post it and work through it with someone if they want. Or send the patch, or whatever.
But I'm thinking it's just an AE thing, nothing more, and that will get fixed soon enough. I'm just glad it works as well as it does. I really missed it.
