Synthedit jokes aside...that GUI is truly AWFUL!! It's not just a question of it being ugly...and don't get me wrong....it's DAMN UGLY!!
I don't have that much of a problem with an UGLY GUI...the problem that I have with this and some others is that it HURTS to look at it.....even briefly. Now if I'm doing a mix I might have to look at it for a looonnnggg time. Eye strain can be as fatiguing as sitting in a crappy chair. I don't know what the heck you people were thinking but seriously....if you want to actually sell this thing you might REALLY want to consider a redesign of the GUI....even just muting it would help....as it is now it just might cause someone to have an epileptic seizure!!

What areas? A GUI is a choice and there are varying opinions. I think that's a mountain out of a molehill, that statement about "other areas". Or was that just a good opportunity for some potshot? Just be clear, and we'll try to answer your concerns.bk wrote: GUIs like that will surely make people question your decisions in other areas...

I think the pastel hues and large, blocky buttons and meters are throwing people.. there's also spacing issues with the knobs.
Not that I like it or dislike it. Only pointing out what I see could be the reasons for much of the distaste for the GUI.

I said I'm an IK fan. Or at least I was...
It's an opportunity to make my feelings known about one of your new products.
I'm offering my opinion that a gui like that will make people question the dsp behind the gui. Take the advice or don't. I couldn't possibly care less. But you HAVE to realize this is a possibility. When people see tinkertoys, they think tinkertoys.
Believe it or not, sometimes criticism is given by well meaning folks to improve a product/reputation, not to say "IK sucks".
Way to piss off a loyal customer, Pete.

As if the big stupid dinosaur head wasn't bush-league enough, they create this atrocity on the eyes and expect someone to actually buy it? Hopefully they will get about a 99.9% hate rating on this thing and adjust it to something more professional before release. TOTALLY TERRIBLE!

OMG you guys are absolutely right about that GUI
Yes, looks ARE important for a software product like this, especially marketing-wise.
