Another really excellent change in Dante Controller!

A while back Audinate made a new feature that was long overdue. Themes. We used to have the light theme as the only theme and now we got a dark theme. Maybe a small change but so great!

Today they released another excellent one.

For some reason Audinate at some point in time decided to put the transmitters on top and receivers at to the left. It has always felt wrong. This is how it has looked for as long as I can remember:

When I read something I start to the left and read across the page.

Like this:

This was a new feature in todays release of Dante Controller and it’s really easy to enable.

But is it to late? Can we really get comfortable with this change? Or will it just feel weird 🙂
