To me best looks and most clear view is left one with colors. I always found old view confusing. To get it even more clear i think it needs some reordering of sections. For instance Bands is more important than BS412 section. So put it higher. Also meters should be vertical like in old design. Then Band 1 upspeed - Band 2 upspeed Band 1 downspeed - Band 2 downspeed Remove remaining peaks - Remove remaining peaks Can be located under or above this meters and not horizontal like it is now. |

I walked around in my building and asked a few people here, so far 2 out of 3 prefer one of the two new interface displays (once the one with colors, once without). I agree with Eldoradofm that things need to be organized differently (current image was made by copying screenshots from the different sections) - most important things must indeed be near the top. |

Quote: For example,
Looking at Levels. Actually Pre Amp was already present in the main section - post am is not but how useful is that?Bass Boost / Phase rotation / - all can be in one window. Noise Removal - Same all in one splited window for "n-hiss" and "n-gate" Configuration - CPU/latency, Plug-in, Scheduler, Web Interface - All are general setting and can fit in one window. Levels - That can be removed and placed in Main (MENU) section. Multiband - All except "Bands" can be in one place. Rest reorganizing according to new (smaller sizes of Sliders and buttons) Configuration: Yes they can be combined but does that help? I mean, if you're going to configure CPU/latency, what's the use of seeing the Scheduler settings? That's why they are currently separated. Multiband: Agreed. But only if the display is big enough (it won't fit on an 800x600 touch screen interface). Noise removal: Hm.. Ideally I would put the bands below the other gate settings. But that doesn't fit on a touch screen interface. Alternatively I can put the to the right of the noise gate global settings, but then I would need something to show in the GUI that those things belong together and the FM hiss filter is something else. Actually this is something that will probably occur more often if I fold several screens into one - good question is how to display this properly. Bass boost / phase rotation: True, only reason why it's not currently is the basic/advanced interface separation. I'll change it for now to make things more accessible without having to click so much. |

Color displey with better reorganization. But also sliders can be smaller (horizontal)! So, instead 2 columns you can make it with 3 columns. It will take way less space. If MB can have that shorter sliders, why not other filters can't. |

Well.. if you keep all this huge buttons and sliders it will surely not fit.

I was also used to the old interface, it grew over the years, each version more items added, and I grew with it. The main point is, like you said, a visual overview where you can chose witch items are important for you, thats learning. The learning should be easy, so not to much different menu's I'm happy with the lower panel, for clicking on the items, they open. It could be functioning as a "not advanced" menu, if placed on top of the monitorscreen. Besides, it is a visual monitor of the behavior of ST, to check if you hear something unexpected. The now upper menu I don't need most of the time, nor don't I need more fancy colors. Colored or grey/white; the gray/white one is indeed more quiet. Maybe you can use bold fonts for the different items. The option I used most in this beta was clicking to change frequencies and soft limit in MB a little bit, it's more easy than mouse scrolling. All on Win 7 64x THX |
