Sorry please try again.
Link is working fine now, thanks
Let me know what you think after test
Cheers
Of course I will do
I already can tell that itās working fine at every sizes ratios in Live 10 on mac-OS High Sierra ( both AU & VST ).
I will review it further tomorrow and also test it with other DAWs & Windows.
Cheers !
Hi again,
Being testing āBlue LCD & Retroā skin on the Mac today, Iām running a bunch of different DAWs on this machine and itās working fine. I only had one issue with the VST version on Harrison Mixbus 32C5.
For some reason it wonāt let me change the GUI size to 100% and 75%, it will overload Mixbus and freeze the application with no alternative than forcing it to quit. But well, maybe not the most used DAW and the most plugin user friendly, and anyway itās still working fine with the AU version and the VST if you keep it to full size.
Having trouble with the WIN machine so no test today, are you on WIN or mac-OS BTW ??
You did a great work, itās a nice skin, very visual. The knobs with the color circles around them are very practical and itās giving ANA 2 a new colorful look. The blue LCD is cool too ( though itās not my favorite color as mentioned before - )
But this is just me, Iām more a dark color lover I think. In fact the envelopes & waveforms display on your blue LCD panels is again very visual.
The metal effect of the knobs is very well done, I was expecting something more āshiny-metalā for the mainframe and the color circles around the knobs would even look better if more blend with the metal frame or using shadow effects.
But, hey, this is just my own visual appreciation.
It should also be appreciated by users because of the colors around the knobs which is handy.
Congrats !! Thatās a nice skin and thank you for your time & work making it, I hope that other members will try it soon and let some comments here as well.
Maybe @KErf would give it a try and gives you some feedback
Cheers !

Hello J_Caldeira. Thanks for taking your time on this skin. Skins are always welcome
I do like the silver estetic, the thing is I normally work at night hours and clear skins seems uncomfortable to me. Anyway Iām using a tool called f.lux that change the screen colors at night but I loose the silver touch.
I love the new pot rings colors, itās a great idea for a faster workflow.
Thanks
Jose
Hi StƩphane,
As always thanks for the input and time to evaluate and make suggestions about improvements.
Iām on Windows 7 64 Graphic board is NVIDIA GEForce 1050 TI.
Regarding to blend the circles around knobs with mainframe, and do a more āshiny-metalā it can be done, but the knobs are more difficult to make.
On my next skin, I will keep in mind.
Also thanks to Jose for his recommendation about doing more darker skin, although I do not like it so much.
Cheers!
Thatās confirming the feeling I had that users are gonna like the skin for the work you did with the knobs, the graduations you added around the knobs on the GUI mainframe board is also a nice improvement
Now I hope that you gonna listen to the ādark sideā thatās sleeping in youā¦ ( we all have one ) because Iām also a big fan of dark skins, and with future Mac users switching to 10.14 Mojave and the new āDark Modeā, itās gonna be requested I think.
Cheers !
nice, never realised it could have custom skins, may need to venture into this if itās semi straightforward?
Yes. It is.
You may need attention to canvas dimensions when design it.
For ANA2 2 Oscs BG template is 1054x785 and for ANA2 2 Oscs BG@2 : 2108x1570.
A good image editor with capable layering is rather helpful.
Requires time but with imagination and creativity, the results will appear.
Cheers.

Hi everyone,
I notice that my monitor was not to well color calibrated, when Iāve seen blue lcd color on ANA2, so updated a new background of Blue LCD & Retro skin.
Hereās the link:
Steps:
Copy and paste the two background files (named ANA2 2 Oscs BGā¦) on zip file, into the same Blue LCD & Retro folder, to replace them.
If you like, you can keep the old and the new background, Copy and duplicate skin folder with different names.
Cheers!
Hi Jorge,
Thanks for this update;
Iām not using calibration on my monitor but somehow I found your original Blue LCD screen color matching that āLCD Feelā better on my monitors, the modified one ( updated one )looks more āLight Blueā and does not show those ācloudyā nuances between dark & light blue which simulates better the LCD feel IMO.
Again, Iām not using calibration here, so that must be specific to my monitor display and I just wanted to let you know how I perceive it. Iām using a DELL U2715H Display, think itās pretty decent for colors, but Iām definitely not an expert in that fieldā¦
Also, on the new ( modified ) background, the G-ENV display is no longer following the Blue LCD Oscillators screen color as it was in the original, was this done on purpose ??
Have you joined the new Sonic Academy Face Book Discussion Group BTW ?? I posted there about your work as well as the one from @AmbieticA and the āAluminiumā work from Phil.
Would be nice to see you 2 joining the FB Discussion Group
Cheers !

Thanks StƩphane,
Glad to know your visual settings, how they look in your monitor.
I might be right regarding to original blue, but I thought second it would be appear better.
In G-ENV Display I change the color to match the left side, pure aesthetic look.
I will put less bright in those two LCD.
I want to let you know, that Iām working on a dark skin with leds scale knobs.
Cheers,
JCaldeira
Hi Jorge,
Thanks for the explanation about the updated design and very pleased to read this
That will be 4 skins alreadyā¦ Amazing work, congrats !
S.
I had no idea there was a Sonic Academy Face Book Discussion Group. Thanks for letting me know! Iāll check it out tomorrow
This is fantastic work! Love the knobs and overall design! Iām still in the process of finishing my skin. It would have been completed by now, but Iāve been concentrating on ANA2 sound design so much lately
This is awesome Phil! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to using this one
Yep, the group is quite new. Here is the link to it :
I donāt have Facebook.
Do I really need to create an Facebook account?
It seems that this Facebook group is restrict, this means that if create and join this group Facebook, I will not be with 5000 " friends"?
You can only join a facebook group if you are signed up to facebook unfortunately
