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

I would love to have SideChain inputs available in the bus routing.

@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.

@Christoph-Hart Wanted to give this a friendly bump. Is there a way to set SUPPRESS_AU_PLIST_RESOURCE_USAGE in the latest versions?
iLok protected plugs wont load in Garageband without this.

Although I've used Windows machines my entire life, and
the use of MacOS for some early audio production (and now Plug-in exporting), I wouldn't die on a hill for either OS.
Recently, I've been fully immersed in Linux, adding a mini data center to my studio with virtualization, NAS, Ubuntu servers, etc. If something can be self-hosted, I'm doing it
I felt that Linux desktops were not as capable as win/mac during my initial tests years ago, so I never really kept up with them.
Yesterday, I stumbled upon Pop!_OS, which might make me completely change my mind about the subject.
https://pop.system76.com/
It's an entire OS designed around Development and Creating, including Deep Learning, Media Production and Engineering. The list of apps is everything I'm using... Davinci Resolve, Blender, MATLAB, OBS, Inkscape, KiCAD, nextcloud HUB...
@d-healey You're our resident Linux guy. Have you tinkered with this OS? Know anything about it?
One hangup at the moment is there's not a wide range of audio apps and interfaces compatible with linux. Reaper seems to be the most "capable" DAW available, and I'm not sure about audio interfaces.
I'd love to know what you guys think and know about Linux desktops and production rigs.

Is it possible to call rebuildUserPresets() without using the expansion installer?
I'm looking to add a button in my maintenance panel to rebuild expansion presets, but I can't quite get it to work yet.
I'm using an encryped expansion, and my plug already has an expansion handler in place:

const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();

Then I'm calling the following with a button:

inline function onRebuild_YesControl(component, value)
{
    if(value)
    {
	    expHandler.rebuildUserPresets();       
    }

};

Content.getComponent("Rebuild_Yes").setControlCallback(onRebuild_YesControl);

But it's doing nothing.
I've tried the example in docs like this:

function installCallback(obj)
{
    if(obj.Status == 2 && isDefined(obj.Expansion))
    {
        // make sure the user presets are updated
        obj.Expansion.rebuildUserPresets();
    }
};

But that doesn't work either because obj is waiting for an argument (which never happens cause I'm not using the installer).

RSS reader

What's the link for RSS feed?

Bug:
Preset Browser - Bank column appears empty after selecting a preset.

@Christoph-Hart I just discovered that the Bank Column appears blank because it's trying to display the project folder User Presets content instead of the Expansion Bank.

Here's the settings currently in use:

ShowSaveButton: false,
ShowFolderButton: false,
ShowExpansionsAsColumn: true,
ShowNotes: false,
ShowEditButtons: true,
ShowFavoriteIcon: true,
NumColumns: 2,
ColumnWidthRatio: [0.3, 0.3, 0.4]

This configuration shows 3 columns :

| Expansion | Bank | Preset | 

Somewhere along the way, Bank gets reassigned with the Project Folder User Preset Bank instead of Expansion Bank.

Also appears the Favorites doesn't work with expansions. If I select the Star for a preset that's part of an expansion, hitting the Favorites Icon show No Results.

Bug:
Renaming a preset or saving a preset with a name that already exists causes instant crash in any DAW.

Feature Request:

Additional Export formats.

@BWSounds Possibly an issue with a script that controls those buttons?
