Hello everyone,

We have a new update for you - build 266 which adds 24 and 32 bit audio export options as well as SoundCloud integration with NOTION3. You can now directly export your wave file to your SoundCloud account from NOTION's interface. If you are not familiar with SoundCloud, it is an online audio sharing community where you can listen to, share and collaborate on tracks with other musicians - visit http://soundcloud.com for more info.

Yours:
