In the software i couldn’t get bypass to work on a stereo device, either clicking one side to bypass both or being able to highlight both channels of it and then bypass. Bypass and a/bing on the fly is a huge benefit/need for these systems so be good to get that right and snappy (what is the lag between updating on the screen and the unit - is it fairly instant? you don’t have to bypass then “transmit” do you?
Could you have the snapshot display floating or also part of the paths page. I can imagine a lot of tweaking the routing and then having a similar but swapped chain and needing to create various setups and then instantly audition. Maybe an A/B/C/D preset on the paths page so you could quickly switch between modifications.
an undo or history feature on every page would be very beneficial
if the gain is constantly adjustable wouldn’t having an option to toggle showing and controlling the gains as part of the path display be awesome, i’ve not seen that and would be v useful for mastering or general mix bus chains. i think that is the page most useful to the everyday studio person.
good luck with it all
Thanks for taking the time to evaluate the GUI, it has evolved a lot since the original especially the way the paths are used.
To answer your questions
Paths longer than 8 - Not a problem I just felt 8 was more than enough I can increase this to 10.
Stereo Bi-pass - in the next version as well as stereo insert, and stereo delete I have also implemented keyboard short cuts for these functions
Time Lag - Because the paths may go both across and down the software has to check all the chains after a modification, however I may be able to speed this up in some cases - there were also some bugs in earlier versions where the screen was not updating!
Snapshots: unfortunately the snapshots do not translate very well into paths, However I like you idea of A/B/C/D presets for the path page.
Gain Control: I have not yet implemented this as it is difficult to work out a solution that does not over complicate the user interface.
Undo: Yes that would be nice, I will have to think about how to do it
I am in New York next week for the AES if anyone wants to talk you can find me on the AEA stand.
