Vst Plugins Too Small On 4k
With Studio 3.1 running on 4K screens I am having scaling issues with VSTs The VST's are opening super small and are unusable. This is also a problem with Tracktion but not an issue with Cubase or Sonar so I assume it is dependent on something implemented within the DAW itself. I've tried toggling the DPI setting but see no change. Icons are to small on 2K, 3k 4K Display Resolution Text size can be edited to be visible at 4K resolutions without a lot of hassle, but 16x16 icons are basically the equivalent of 4x4 at that resolution. Pod farm 2 vst plugin.
Since I upgraded to Live9 I'm suffering from Live not being able to manage mouse on the screen. It is probably Windows10 issue but still ABLETON needs to resolve this somehow. For my it is terribly agrevating when I try to move the slider or the knob and it just spins in place or makes completely unpredictable movements. Initially I was not able to use LIVE9 at all. After changing the ZOOM it helped a bit but still have issues. It is terribly irritating. I use Win10/64 and 2x4k monitors + 1xHD monitor all on a single 4 ports video card.
I know for some programs one can set the option to disable resizing (in Win10) but not sure how to apply this to plugins because they are not called directly from OS but through Live calls so it is completely different way the DLL plugin is initiated. Some of the plugins are impossible to use simply because the fonts are so fckn small I cannot read anything.
I reported this issue several times to ABLETON but got no help at all.
I wonder if anybody has some workaround ???
REAPER user Khatcha send me an email today with a tip to help those on Windows that found some of their VST plugins were tiny after the REAPER 6.0 upgrade.
I’d like to give a useful tip concerning the version 6.xx on Windows only and it’s about the issue with plugins scaling on 4K monitors (or probably less).
With this recent version of Reaper, all my plugins were drastically shrunk and it was impossible to work with such a small UI resolution.
I tried to find the problem with the Advanced UI/ System Tweaks on Reaper but that didn’t help me.
I even tried to change some parameters in the Theme development options but it was unsuccessful.
I finally found the issue, I’ll give to you so you can spread it better than me :
- Go to the properties of the file “reaper.exe” (ALT+ENTER shortcut or Right-Click on the file and select “Properties”) and go to the “Compatibility” tab.
- Click on “Change Hi DPI Settings” and you will have 3 options: Application, System and System Enhanced. Switch to System or System Enhanced et voila!
Of course, keep in mind that REAPER 6 is very new and these things are likely to change and improve in the coming months. Reporting your experience to the official forum with your system info, problem plugins, settings and workarounds is the only way things can improve for all.
The 6.02 update has some changes in this regard, Justin sent me a message on Twitter.
6.02 has a per-plug-in setting to allow the floating FX to be hidpi-unaware. Or you can go to preferences/general/advanced settings, and change the HiDPI Awareness mode to “Unaware” (which makes the behavior match 5.x).
Justin FrankelIf you try this workaround, let us know in the comments if it worked for you as well.
