Screensize too big for macbook
-
Hello, I am new here and just trying out HISE. But when I open it, it goes beyond my screen on Macbook 13'', I cannot seem to be able to adjust this, so missing lots of controls?
Any help?
Thank you. -
@sonder1966 Drag the the upper list so that you can see the top left side of Hise, then hold "alt" and click the green button
-
Thanks for getting back to me, but you see it will not open so I can see the rezize handles?
Is there a way to make it open smaller in size initially?
Eh, how do I attach a screengrab, wow I am having a tech challenged day!
-
Here!
-
@sonder1966 Does
View >> Toggle full screenhelp? Another option is to openeditorSettings.jsonin the HISE config data folder (I don't know where this is on MacOS) and edit the dimensions directly (they're right at the top of the file).And why are you using Master branch?
-
Yes got it thanks for that,
Master branch, no idea, I will start again now I can see the thing.
Thanks.

Did you build HISE from source or are you using the ancient pre-built version?
-
Oh I just downloaded the package 2.0.0 from Git.
Version 1.6.0
-
@sonder1966 That version is fine for playing around with but don't use it for any serious work, it's very very out of date. When you're ready to build the latest version for yourself you should use the develop branch - https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/tree/develop
Which branch you should use can change, so if you've been out of the development loop for a while it's a good idea to ask on the forum which branch everyone is using.

Sorry I am not a developer, so just want to use the application, would take me ages to figure out all the JUCE stuff. Is there a more recent build, or should I just park the idea of learning this app, do I need to learn code?

HISE is a tool for developers so if you want to use it you will become a developer.

You don't need to know anything about JUCE to use HISE, you just need to be able to install a compiler.
do I need to learn code?
Yes (HISE script, which is similar to Javascript). Unless you are making something very basic.
-
OK I see.
Thanks for that. I will try and compile the newest version.
Will have to try and find out what that is.
Could I ask if there will be a new package to download in the future, are you interested in a wider audio community (not developers but sound designers etc) trying this out?
Thanks

I have videos on my YouTube channel showing the build process (ignore the parts about installing IPP, just disable it and life will be easier).
Could I ask if there will be a new package to download in the future,
There probably will be, but you still need to be able to compile in order to export your projects as plugins.
not developers but sound designers etc
HISE is a tool for making plugins (it's not for end users) so whoever uses and for whatever purpose they will also need to be a developer.
-
OK thanks a lot I'll give it a go.
-
@sonder1966 If you need any help don't hesitate to ask.
-
OK I followed all the steps in your post and it said build succeeded and I see this, is this correct?

Almost. You've built the debug build - you need to select Build for profiling instead of Build for running.
-
Hmm, sorry where is the profiler, all I see in producer is HISE Standalone in projucer?
Or is it in Xcode?
-
Is this it?

When you build the project you have to select
Build For >> Profiling
