I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with Aleksey's GUIs [colours are ok] and I like them to look as alike as they do, consistency is good [like Waves, just a few different designs], but I have to admit that he could "modernise" it a bit with "nicer" buttons and "nicer" VU meters... wouldn't hurt

Cheers.

Same in Elephant... I keep forgetting what the acronyms (e.g. AIGC-2) stand for.

That's the Voxengo 'secret sauce' - I don't know what it means either so I just hits the buttons till it sounds good!

Some of the lettering is a little hard to read on some of the plugs.

I actually like the color combinations on the Gliss and Harmoni EQ's, that sort of "Voxengo Beige" combined with the brighter colors looks cool.

BTW, Aleksy, what does the "gliss" in GlissEQ stand for?

Make it look just like Vintage Warmer.

I recommend this because, though it doesn't make sense, I honetsly think "pretty" plugs are more likely to sell.

My advice: make it look like a real piece of rack gear. Something that would make you say "Oooo ooo ooo, I wanna tweak those KNOBS!!!"

Why should a GUI submit to the limitations of hardware design? Fonk that!

No, I just think it's pretty. Love them virtual knobs!

Well, buttons like PSP VW actually wouldn't hurt...

OK, thanks for ideas. How should I rename 'AIGC-2'? Automatic Input Gain Control variant 2? It's too long.

'Gliss' is from the word 'glissade'. In the context of GlissEQ, glissading the waveform and making smooth filter gain adjustments dynamically.

Cool, I just bought it so I'll glissade to my heart's content.

Yea, I guess reading the manual might be a must with your plugs.

BTW, I can't remember, is there a manual link on your plug faceplates, like on Torben's?

If not, particularly in your case, I think that would be a great idea.
