Another question. In 1.1.0 RC1, if I go into tools preferences, click all (instead of simple), then go under advanced, I can see a place to configure network synchronization. But where do I actually turn it on, so that netsync controls the playing? I don't see any network synchronization settings un...

OK let me break it down.

Great I'll check it out.

Any other options, post here!
