Yes, "Secondary Feedback" the later name for that functionality.  
That's the one I mean. It's name were changed as but default, but I  
don't remember with which version. Anyway, I always go into the text  
files and change those names to "Alt FBK" or "Sec FBK" to make them  
take up less screen area in the graphic interface.

Secondary/Alternative Feedback only kicks in during those alternative  
modes (as of Expert Mode is one). It's well explained in the manual.

As I wrote in the former post, I don't recall exactly with which  
version of the the betas it was broken. I still stick to the latest  
beta because of its superb timing, compared to all the older. Beta 29  
was pretty good I remember, and it still had the Alt/Sec Feedback  
working under Expert Mode. But it that beta had other flaws, as  
introducing noise during Rate Shifting. Beta 29 was the one I used  
for the example clips posted earlier (you can hear the dreadful  
zipper noise, but I kept it anyway since it luckily happened on  
musically relevant rhythmic intervals).

The way it is broken in is that the setting of Alt/Sec Feedback  
doesn't affect the kept level of old audio layers under additions by  
Substitute, SUSSubstitute, Replace... (think I got them all there) as  
it should do.
