Hey ADood:
Would it be long for you to make the neutral off buttons in the dark mod The same you did it for Gold mod?

Never had SVP, my first seq package was Opcode MidiMac, Vision granpa, but you could be just rightJames Steele wrote:Hey wait a minute...danworks wrote:Not bad, I really like the counter numbers fontamplidood wrote:Minimalist comin'....
You know what that font looks like... Studio Vision Pro's font... remember?

Me too. I loved it for many years.James Steele wrote:Man... I used to use Studio Vision Pro and really liked it. If there was ever an app that came close to tempted me away from DP, that was it. It also was coded efficiently and just FLEW. I miss it. I'll quit now... I feel a Gibson rant coming on! Hahaha!
But DP is starting to feel like home now. I wish, in many ways, that I had not taken my three year diversion into the world of ProTools and had jumped immediately into using DP after StudioVision Pro was discontinued. DP and SVP are similar enough that the transition would have been fairly smooth... but someone gave me some bad advice and I bought into ProTools LE. I did learn a lot of stuff... but it was mostly an education in frustration.
I still go back into SVP to export MIDI from songs that remain under development. Unfortunately, the same is true of ProTools. One of these weeks I should try to export stuff out of those programs for good... every so often I really want to work on something that I haven't exported yet, and I hesitate to deal with trying to work again on my G4.

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
I like the mixer on this last one. love the classy volume sliders. I have been using the simple as it is easy on the eyes and I feel it being simple and uncluttered makes it some what faster to work with. I like the looks of gold as it is so flashy and the jelly buttons look so nice. For me the dark is a bit too dark but that is my taste, it is so nice you made a few different skins.
All the work and updating your doing takes a bit of time; thanks for your work. I know I find this sort of work fun my self but until you started doing it I did not even know where the things to change were and I am so busy I hardly have time to sleep. So thanks again.
On the simple the 'mute, solo, record buttons' have no names on them, I do know where they are so it has not been a real problem for me.

Don't even get me started on Gibson. I was a long time SPV (from their first version) user up to the bitter end.James Steele wrote:Ha! Now that would be a riot if somebody could get some screenshots of Studio Vision and we made a Studio Vision mod, huh? Hehehehe...

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
That's the font Studio Vision used to use. My first seq package was Robert Keller's 48 track PC on an IBM PC-XT running DOS and a Roland MPU-401 interface. No graphics... just ascii characters and event list editing. I later upgraded to Cakewalk 1.0 and got use a mouse. It also had piano scroll display of MIDI notes... although still done with ASCII characters! It wasn't till 1989 or 1990 that I got my first Mac and switched to Performer and also Vision.danworks wrote:Never had SVP, my first seq package was Opcode MidiMac, Vision granpa, but you could be just right

I noticed it does look like you've darkened it too, from the CP picture. I hope you make a "light" version of this one also. Pretty nice though man!
