It looks like you're trying to hook up a gain reduction meter to a dynamics module.
here ya go! in 13 easy steps
I'm using "right click" auto complete as much as possible.

#1 - Add Dynamics module

#2 - Create a reference to the module

#3 - Create a slider and add reference

#4 - create a timer

#5 - Create function for timer

#6 - create variable to hold a reference of gain reduction

#7 - convert reduction to dB

#8 - set value of slider to gain reduction

#9 - set slider mode to decibel

#10 - Start Timer

#11 - test that reduction meter is working

#12 - set slider image to your strip

#13 - test that strip is working

Merry merry everyone!

@Win-Conway said in Starting to use HISE is one of the biggest pains in the neck I've ever had:

The one thing that HISE does really well, force you to give up and go back to using Kontakt

I started tinkering with HISE in 2016ish and had to move on cause I didn't fully understand what I was doing. Ended up making my library in Kontakt. After that, I started playing with C++ & JUCE and eventually found my way back to HISE.
Now that I know it's more of an extension of JUCE, I'm very thankful for the effort @Christoph-Hart puts into HISE.

I have a new project that I'll be using the Black Box approach with. Maybe I can detail the process using only HISE.

Ok! Finally sorted out.
Apparently, you can't use ~/ in a pre or post-installation script of a package. I had to use $HOME instead.

@dustbro Enable the expansion column:

@d-healey I use woo + Amazon. What's a custom endpoint?

This is covered in the "simple copy protection" tutorial. Have you looked at that yet?

@d-healey I take that back. Only Projucer 6 to compile HISE. The HISE project settings were directed to the scriptnode folder, so I'm thinking now it used the included JUCE libraries to export the plugin.

@d-healey said in The most cost effective way to export for MacOS:

Projucer 6

yes to both... maybe?
I never could get Projucer 5 to open on Catalina, and pointing Projucer to the HISE JUCE folder gave me errors.
so I guess, technically, I compiled HISE and a project with Projucer 6 and JUCE6 libraries.

I decided to take it for a test drive anyway...
Compiling a test project -
hack mini - 25:30
i9 PC - 3:22

I guess it COULD be worse.
If anyone else wants to go down this road, I can confirm it's working.

• Catalina
• Latest HISE scriptnode
• JUCE 6
• xCode 10.3
• IPP 2021

@d-healey That's what I originally had. This hack mini is on par with my old 2013 mini
I'm just gonna build another i9 hack and call it a day. It's been stable and reliable for the past 2 year so no need to fix what ain't broken.

@Christoph-Hart said in The most cost effective way to export for MacOS:

Also this machine seems to be wa underpowered so the compilation will take ages.

Hackintosh install was pretty painless. Downgrading from an 19-9900k to an i3-5005u is VERY painful.
I originally thought speed wouldn't be an issues cause I'm only using it to export. wrong.

My computer processing needs have evolved greatly over the past few years. I started with a modest Dell laptop, added an old mac mini, upgraded to an i9 rig, dual booted to pc/hackintosh, added a 3090 for graphics rendering, got a new M1 mac mini for new development... the list goes on and on.
Unfortunately, MacOS does not support the 3090 GPU, so I've had to manually remove the card every time I want to switch OS. That got old quick, and realized I need to have a completely separate Intel MacOS rig.
After some research, I found that you can create a mac mini hackintosh with a Beelink U55 for $269.
If anyone is interested in doing the same, I'll gladly post my progress and info here.
As this process may be a breach of contract to the Apple EULA, I'll leave this up to @Christoph-Hart whether or not this content is permissible.

And I just figured out how to merge your changes into my fork

Please share your experience. I'll need to merge with my fork soon.
