Replacing 2Caudio Reverbs

[bk]

Reverside 093b290
Woohoo! This finally opens to a reasonable size on 1080!
Windows 10, Studio One Pro 5. Thought I would share a few things I noticed:

1:After opening, I went to make the gui a little larger and I could not click the percentages in the range of 90-120, so I clicked on 130%. That worked. Then when I came back later to the gui size, I could click on any of them.

2: In the preset browser, clicking on ER Pan caused an issue with Studio One Pro 5. It didn't crash the DAW, but I got a message that there was an "unexpected error" in this app or a plugin.

How do I make it smaller? - it goes off the edge of the screen for me (and this on a 5K display). I can't drag the corner as that is off screen

to change the ui window scale do the following:

1) locate the following folder:
Windows)
C:\programData\Devproaudio\product\REVERSIDE\state
Macos)
/Users/mdx/Music/Devproaudio/product/REVERSIDE/state

2) open pref.yaml in any text editor

3) change pref_ui_wnd_scale value to something smaller. save changes

4) just in case check that this file (and /state folder in general) has read/write permissions enabled for your account

btw there is a new build available:

/ER Pan folder bug in fixed in b293

Is there a way to navigate to b293 with the info already sent, or will you be sending new links?
Thanks

I do not send out emails en mass. this system is not setup yet. I'm sending only to people who reply and provide feedback. so if you somehow missed an update please email me again.

[2ca]

would anyone share the experience of using the latest build. I'm particularly interested in knowing if positioning system is useful, I mean say placing sound in a corner of a room does sound convencing etc and if anyone could get how panning system works (having minimum manual at hands)

Hi Denis,

I've been sending emails, but I would say that the sound positioning is probably as good as it gets with proper 3D room emulation. I've been playing with some room emulators - and they are definitely better at doing convincing room positioning.
Is that a direction that you want to go in?

REVERSIDE new build is available.

CHANGES IN 0.9.3.b300:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed: Wet/Dry Mix settings are not loaded properly from project state
- Fixed: Incorrect Wet/Dry Gains values displayed after loading preset
- Fixed: Sometimes after switching presets the plug-in controls become
irresponsive until one switches to another view page
- Fixed: ER/LR routing issue reported by Michael Seipel
- ER/LR gain pair is now augmented with respective ER/LR Balance/Gain
- ER/LR/WET/DRY gain ranges increased
- various other minor improvements and fixes

Now one can control mixing gains in two ways both for a Wet/Dry and ER/LR pairs:
A) as absolute gains in dB
B) as a mix/balance in percents and residual gain
the conversion between A and B representations is automatic and all 4 values are visible at once.

Is this currently in Beta test mode? I'm a long time user of Audio Aether.

[2ca]

yes, the beta testing is open

new REVERSIDE build.

CHANGES IN 0.9.3.b316:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Entering param values and file/folder names from keyboard
(except for CLAP/Windows and AudioUnit at the moment)
- Preset Browser now supports creating/removing files and folders
- Preset Browser now offers confirm/cancel buttons for actions that can't be undone
- Windows: added dithering to the input to avoid excessive cpu usage on idle inputs
- Writing debug logs
- DEMO mode is now available for those who want to try the plug-in without going into betateting
in demo mode one cannot save presets and plug-in state in project is not preserved.
- Various other minor improvements and fixes

Anyone interested in betatesting could email me at: info@devproaudio.com

I would appreciate if you guys, those who already tested the plug-in,
share your opinion and improvement suggestions/ideas here.
I need your feedback in order to improve UX as plug-in param set is on a scale of a good synth.

Well, so far I was not able to even open the plugin here on my laptop, so I can't give any feedback sadly.
But looking forward to a stable PC version!

Hi Denis,

Usually I ask all my questions via email - but I can do it here.

The sound is very good, as usual, but there really is a lot there to remember what everything does.

Typing in values works OK.

Entering filenames in the preset browser is not working here (Windows 11 - running the plugin in Reaper)
The preset management doesn't seem to be too intuitive. I can use the tooltips to remember whether to use save or resave - but I did save a preset with a new name once but now when I try to save another variation - I get the cursor in the file name area, but I can't do anything. I can't use backspace or del or type anything. I'm not sure why it worked once.
OK - I deleted that preset - now when I want to "save" a variation, and click on the filename box - it brings up the name of that deleted preset, but I can't type anything or change anything.

I haven't played a lot with colors, as that is a little tricky to figure out - and I don't want to have to redo it for every new version
Will you have a lot of color scheme presets?

Lastly, the whole distance/pan/mic sep section doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot - in the "room" settings I'm playing with. I seem to remember this section affecting the sound a lot more - when I was asking you about 3D placement etc.

Anyway - these are just my observations - maybe someone else can chime in

Okay, here's some of my suggestions for now - I will break them up into different posts.

Generally speaking, I think the UI has to be cleaned up as much as possible. This is very important since the Reverside has so many features and function.

Also I would establish the general rule that no parameter/control should appear in two (or more) different places in the GUI.
