Post subject: | Stereo Tool 10 preview: New user interface |
I think we'll have to lock this thread, which means we will start monitoring the main beta thread for GUI issues. If there's anything anyone would like to add or respond to, simply use the "quote" functionality and post it in either the main beta thread or in a direct message to Tom. We'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread with their feedback for their effort! You're all instrumental (sound pun) in making Stereo Tool and our other products the best they can be. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to let us know what we can improve. _____________ I would like to address everyone's concerns about any web interface, preset selection and screen reader support, so that this thread doesn't get flooded with feedback about that:
As we've mentioned many in the past already, we are working on a new user interface. And now it's finished far enough to post the first public beta! Tom Evers, the lead designer of the new user interface, has written a blog post about the thoughts behind the changes, and what the current state of the new GUI is. It also contains a lot of before-and-after images: https://www.thimeo.com/blog/beta-testing-the-new-gui/ Here are some binaries for testing: Beta v10.02-032:
Please post GUI-related feedback to this version here, and any other issues in the 10.01 beta thread. _____________ From Tom directly: This new interface will take some getting used to.
If you can't find a setting, please consider the following: A block of settings may be "unfoldable" (there is a '>' next to the title) or the setting may be in a modal (pop-up) page. If it's "hidden" in this way, should it be? Do you use it very often? Often enough to bring it closer to the surface? Do you think many users do (or should) use it that often? If something is tucked away too deep while it really needs to be accessed regularly, let us know. But know that we're trying to keep the interface as clean as possible. Conversely, if you spot any unnecessary settings that are always shown but could be housed a bit deeper, tell us. Known issues/omissions:

This is great news Hans and team! I will beta test the 64-bit ARM version for Raspberry Pi 4 as soon as it comes out tonight, I'm very excited |

Holy crap, this thing is slick! It'll take a minute to relearn everything, but the presentation and scalability is fantastic. It appears the DeReverb in the Repair section is not disabled when Turn Off Unlicensed Features is pressed. Replication: Load up fresh, No BIMP License Enable De-Reverb in Repair section (not BIMP) Go to License and Turn Off Unlicensed Features [BIMP is still shown to be in use and unlicensed, while De-Reverb in Repair stays enabled] I'm also not seeing a place in the UI that warns of unlicensed features outside of the License screen. Just the tray icon once minimized. Is there still an ITU.1770 Loudness Meter? |

First impression, everything is so big but i see less. Why gui uses so much cpu, here even more then processing.. https://i.imgur.com/27xaJXM.png |

For now I only have Intel/AMD Linux version. I can add the Pi but not today anymore (I have added the Intel/AMD versions to the post above).Quote:

Seeing less was the idea, the old interface could be very overwhelming. The idea here (see the blog post) is that we try to show what's relevant for what you're doing. All the settings (except maybe a handful that were really useless) are still there, a few (including the ITU1770 loudness meter that MrKlorox asked for) have not yet been added to it.Why gui uses so much cpu, here even more then processing.. https://i.imgur.com/27xaJXM.png I'm not sure what happened with the CPU usage, I remember it being a lot lower the last time I measured it. And it seems to be about the same on pages with no moving elements, so it's not the drawing itself that's causing this. We'll look into it (next week). |

Will there be a download for the Winamp DSP version? |

According to the blog post linkedQuote: Plugin and MacOS support
While the old GUI supports numerous plugins as well as OS X, the codebase is outdated and difficult to maintain. Rewriting the operating system message handling for Windows and Linux already proved a serious amount of work. We decided to stick to Windows and Linux stand-alone builds during development for now, but support for Apple devices (including those with Apple Silicon) and VST/DSP based plugins is coming. |

Quick question Is the FM Analyzer going to be removed with this GUI change or has it not been implemented yet? |

I just can't stand how big this GUI is. Also does make zero difference if i set windows compatibility DPI scaling. It is so big that i need to fill almost whole my screen width with ST window just to make MB1>Detection settings not scrollable horizontally. Not to mention that vertically i don't even have place left to normally see meters on top. They look so small compared to everything else. On other hand gui generaly works much better, there is no sttutering in screen, meters, scopers, etc, are smoother, big cpu usage tho, not workable on any of my core2duo cpus. I still think that all meter filters should stay always at one same place. I mean HOME> Then i click TrueBass, I don't see anymore all other meters i see only TrueBass metter (and rest meters in chain) even it shows meters for it right under, again. |

I'm not coming up with the new web GUI. Is there something I need to append to the URL? Or is that not available yet in this specific beta? I haven't cleared caches and stuff, so I'll try that next. |
