@Chazrox I don’t see how this relates to the title but it usually happens when you reload a forum thread that has been deleted. Or maybe it’s not the same error message I don’t remember…
What did you do to get there at first?

@bwoogie I agree, it’s not intuitive and we all have habits that are adding to the confusion because by « save project » only people who know… are knowing… lol…

The project is the whole directory
By save project we mean save XML.
It’s not a good terminology though, because there is no file saved that are holding the project entirely. The XML is only the constitution of the module tree and the interface of your project. Files likes images, samples, etc… are not saved, they are just permanently lying in the project directory and there is no "global project file" holding them.

And you’re right, archives are "project’s presets", being autosaved or manually saved.

I don’t know if people out there are using manual preset (archive) save. Except for quickly sketching something, I personally don’t get the point.

The things you should then focus on are saving the project XML, and set the autosave just in case something bad happens. You shouldn’t need to save an archive manually (cmd/ctrl+s) but instead just use cmd/ctrl+Shift+s and you’ll be good.

Everyone has been confused by all those strange naming at one time, and as @d-healey said, the concept of project preset (archive) vs user preset adds another layer of confusion…

Something worth adding, no matter how cautious you are handling your project, nothing will be safer than using git

@resonant you could set up a companion to the combo box (panel with saveInPreset enabled)
were you can store the item text

Okay, just had to add my HISE path to that same file 🙂

@DJJD12345 cd into the folder, just like when you checked out the develop branch, but instead of running git checkout... run git log

@d-healey chatGPT lol

@PJSanre

It completely depends on quality, and how long you want development to take.
The EQ + megaphone + Delay stuff can be commissioned cheaply (I myself would do it cheaply anyway), Autotune and Reverb are the heavyweight tasks. You can expect it to cost around a thousand each for those two pieces of dsp.

The absolute cheapest path would probably be around a thousand?
That's really pushing it though. This would be if you were willing to use the stock Hise EQ, stock hise convolver for megaphone effect, stock hise reverb, stock delay, and have the autotune be the main piece of custom commissioned dsp.

However, that's just dsp costs.
There are potentially (but not necessarily) more costs than just dsp, for a project like this.

For example, if you don't want your project to be GPL open source licence you'll need to pay the Hise and Juce liscence fee costs.
There is also the matter of creating your GUI and Installer, and getting a codesigning liscence for Mac and Windows / any other platform you plan to release on (codesigning makes it so that your software won't get immediately flagged or blocked by default security / antivirus software).

Developing a piece of software is a step up from making presets, you should be prepared for the trouble involved! That being said, it is possible, and a dsp engineer will be able to make custom dsp to match your patcher preset, that part is completely possible, it's just down to cost and time!

@d-healey This showcase is great. Here are the brands I can think of missing:

Korneff Audio
Kiive Audio
Thenatan
Auddict

@Lindon Perfect! Thanks!😀

@d-healey thank you so much😁

@d-healey Strange... I just need masks and proper blur too at the moment. And those layer limitations are bad 🙁

Graphics in general is a point that people are still asking for improvement and I understand Hise is not meant to be a photoshop clone. But when you hit limitations... I'd like to re-use OpenGL as well but not confident enough to deal with plateform specific issues... Well, it's one or the other I guess 🤷♂

@ILIAM Most of the docs are available as markdown files

You can also pass in specific urls, but the results are a bit hit and miss.

@Christoph-Hart said in Multichannel state of things:

It wasn't exactly an afternoon, more like 18 months...

Thank God they decided not to go with me....

@Christoph-Hart said in CSS :nth-child() supported???:

I can add an attribute to my parameter dictionary for scale/unipolar/bipolar,

I've added a method requested by @DanH where you can setup default properties for each new connection (so you can eg. set the base intensity to 75% or whatever floats your boat.

siiiiiiicccckkkkk!! Nice one Christoph!

@Christoph-Hart agreed. I have a M1 also with 64gb. I know you can store a whole app in memory with 16gbs, but i like to be over prepared 🤣

I run heavy multitracking sessions so I have to be ready. As far as HISE goes, never bogging. 👍

This might be helpful for people wanting to emulate the AurEx, this is a schematic version. The low band distortion is a classic hard clip config.

The high band distortion has a more cross over distortion type characteristic, not sure what the best way to program that is.

The clean signal is blended in with the two distortion paths.
