CC3 Week 1 - Graphical User Interface I
My computer died this week which is pretty annoying since I actually did do this weeks SC patch. Hopefully I can get my data back and you'll see my attempt of a reverb plugin in Logic called AVerb.
.........Ok I have my patch. I say it's worth $650. That's what it cost to restore my data from my laptop. Typical Apple. . .
The biggest challenge at first was the positioning. Like Christian said, at first it doesn't make sense. Once I got my first slider working with the text and number box, it was a matter of copying the code and editing the positioning and the value of the slider. I also had to set the slider to start at 0. This was annoying at first because the SCRangeSlider starts where the user clicks, by default.
it's getting there. . .
