TBH, now I feel a little embarrassed because I don't know of any plug ins that don't supply a GUI. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckebaby 519 Posted August 10 @pwalpwal Is this similar to the default UI which you speak of ? Good times using this Limiter...Good times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petemus 21 Posted August 10 @Chuck E Baby: Here's a default GUI example for you. Probably a blast right outta the 90's. The font height ain't too many pixels. Ahh, those were the times: screen resolution of 800 x 600 px, and you were rockin'! You could read it well back then, not so much today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy is a brilliant DSP engineer, but likes to work alone, I think. That extends to partnering with someone to do GUI's. From what I've read in his blog, he's even a bit contemptuous of GUI's. Oh well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well. That BassDrive IS an Airwindows plugin. These plugins are numerous and some are quite interesting... I guess the Airwindows motto is: "In the mix, no-one can hear your screen." 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starship Krupa 486 Posted August 11 That would have been my first guess, since you said you were working with some of them. It would be fun if Crimson Merry or someone could twist up a few GUI's for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That BassDrive plug in does have some nice fonts. What really impresses me is its light blue/off white background, the black fonts stand right out. It doesn't look aesthetically beautiful, which is what most plug in developers pride themselves on now a days (a realistic looking GUI). But in my opinion, what ever gets the job done.

petemus 21 Posted August 11 This is what BassDrive looks like in Logic (snipped out of one of Airwindows' videos): Something like this is all I'm after. I guess a few more pixels have been put into use here - with a proper scalable font and not the a-few-pixels-by-a-few-pixels bitmapped relic font that's still in use in Cakewalk. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todd Dufrene 0 Posted August 29 Thanks scook! I never thought about the windows magnifier. That could be a decent workaround. Now maybe I can actually use the Airwindows plugins - and the Cakewalk DX plugins as well. I can barely read those either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
