Hi Chris, I left you an issue on Github. Basically it sometimes crashes, at least one time when I tried to display the GUI a long time after the plugin was already loaded and I was using another plugin. Sometimes it just crashes. It happened with VST3 and CLAP, I'm using a MAC.
there's one small thing i noticed. nothing too serious but the thing is when i want to double click on a certain parameter like the bass knob for example to return to its default value, it wont go
Hello, it sounds great, Chris, please fix it so that you can save the settings, because after saving the session and closing the DAW, everything is reset to zero the next time you start it, I work on cubase, best regards
It is not busted, as I shared on Bluesky windows and ableton won''t let me use the new GUI ;D. It can also be the latest windows causing this whole thing. Thanks for the fast response !
Have been eagerly anticipating this since the day it was announced!! Christmas has actually arrived. Thank you so much, Chris. Have a great Christmas and New Year
What a nice Xmas special :D You're great! Gonna try it out when I'm back home from my family. Looking forward to it a lot! Merry Chris(t)mas and a happy upcoming year!
I’m a long-time Patreon supporter, and what we heard of the EQs sounds good. I’d love a straightforward explanation of the audio signal flow and what each control does!
I've just answered a similar question, and I'll continue to do mix streams where I explain it. Signal flow is rather unusual! It's Kalman filtered parallel dynamics, and then the EQs are also parallel to the compression so they are never compressed (but they are gated with the dynamics). That means, treat the EQs as a 'window' into the intensities of the sound, not so much as broad shaping. The highpass and lowpass will give you broad shaping in conjunction with Stonefire :)
i never doubted that it was coming but NOW IT'S HERE!!! we're the blessed ones for it, but still... dude, congratulations. this is a megalith of a project and you brought it to us with your hands (almost) alone, despite an autoimmune neurological meltdown-triggering virus trying to stop you toward the end! in case it wasn't already obvious, i just have a lot of esteem for you my guy.
Oh hell to the no. Without Sudara, there is no GUI at all. Without Baconpaul you'd not have the fix this morning for saving state: he didn't have to say much, but it was he who wrote the code I adapted. You can say that about the retro/noGUI plugins if you like, but it was always meant to end up like this, and I'm drawing from giant major projects in areas where I'm relatively helpless. And you're not alone either because you in turn have me in your corner :)
@ oh yeah, I didn’t mean to diminish their role as i know it would be impossible without the GUI, but from the perspective on the macro- and micro- concepts and all the sonic challenges you talked about while in the process of solving them. of course, even an absolute hermit creator is always building on the work of others alive and dead. still: you deserve a massive amount of distinct credit here as a visionary who executes what he wants to see happen. thanks for setting that record straight-i kind of knew better but others reading might indeed get the wrong ayn rand-y impression from it. yeah, yuck.
It's OK. And I am getting paid and probably will still be getting paid after this is out. I'll be talking about Sudara's synth and buying one when that comes out, and baconpaul doesn't seem to need to be paid in the same way and I frequently shout out his big project, Surge XT. ConsoleX has been a big project of mine and it's definitely Airwindowsy, I'll grant that :)
Dude. Your stuff is just superb. I really love how you don't bother with the UI you just focus on making the plugin good. It is pretty rare these days.
I have no words... You are simply the best. Will see if i can make it work with FL Studio. If not, I will be switching to Reaper :) Thank you for all the effort you put into the plugins and videos, they have taught me so much about mixing/music/plugins, its insane. HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
@@tweetenen7500 Time consuming. But rewarding. I went from FL to Studio One to Reaper. What I don't want to miss from Reaper is eg the whole jsfx ecosystem. Great stuff around from Saike, Tukan etc... With Paranormal fx router you have after all an fx brewery.
@@TortuositSure but man FL is nice. I could never make a full switch simply because no other piano roll will ever compare. It's insane how archaic all other DAWs' piano rolls are compared to FL's.
love the resizability. would love to see the sliders on all your plugins be infinitely resizable in reaper (which is a stock issue) but if theres anyway for you to sidestep that issue it would be awesome.
Love from India. You are beyond any words I can use to appreciate. Console X is awesome. The biggest of your work so far. I request you to have a look at Schep's Omni channel from Waves. I can see a clear potential for Console X becoming the best Channel Strips in the years to come because your summing algorithm was the best already with the previous console versions.
What Wizardry have I stumbled on.. my goodness sir I can not wait to get stuck into these. A Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays if it suits ya). I'll certainly be sending along a Christmas gift after a crash course in these plugins. Cheer!!
Chris, is it possible that we get demonstrations using other types and genres of music so we can hear it translated on other stuff. I think that would go a long way to helping people use the plugins
Wow! Thank you Santa! 🔥💫💯 Amazing! So...this control surface thing? Mmmh What's baked in? There will be tutorials about all the various console plug-ins and setup steps?.... And what they do?
I'm sorry, I could have explained more. The name of the plugin it's from is Discontinuity. In fact on my control surface it's labelled 'discontinuity' and that probably misled me. But on the plugins, the words are 'Top dB' which I believe is what it says on the Discontinuity plugin. On the generic plugin it reads out as 70-140 dB, the loudness of the loudest possible noise of whatever track it's on.
I can't open the gui version in Ableton 12. Also windows defender blocks the .exe installer :/ Ableton opens the 64vst like usual no gui, the vst3 closes ableton. Standalone app closes itself. No worries I will try it with standard gui
Awesome news!! Does the same philosophy apply when it comes to insert order. You know, like lets say individual tracks receive consolexchannel and master track/folder track receive consolexbuss. And if I do put lets say consolxbuss on a folder track as the first insert can i put the consolexchannel at the end of the inserts of that same folder track? Hope to hear from you soon
Hello, Chris, I have a question about using ConsoleX - does it make sense to use it for recording and not just mixing? If so, can you suggest some kind of audio flow in the input inserts? Thank you in advance for your answer.
@@airwindows So I thought correctly, do you propose some connection of plugins on the input inserts? , thank you again in advance for your answer, also for the one about the mastering plug-in, I have always wanted to get at least a little closer to the sound of Pink Floyd, I feel that thanks to your work this can be achieved, best regards
Chris, do you have any indications available of the signal path through all of the ConsoleX plugins? Specifically, I'd like to know where Discontinuity and the StoneFire dynamics processors exist within the chain.
Sure. StoneFireAir and the EQs are parallel. Stone and Fire are compressed and gated: the EQs are NOT compressed but they are gated, as is Air (with the most appropriate gate). Discontinuity runs after everything else, both on the channels and on the buss. Lowpass and Highpass are distributed so there's a little of them all through the plugin, meaning you can use Lowpass as an aliasing filter, especially at higher sample rate (fully counterclockwise/left it will switch off tho).
Here comes lots of questions... Do we drop ConsoleX in as a single plugin on the channel and master buses with no ConsoleX pre stage between it and other plugins? Should other plugins come before or after ConsoleX? Is there no special way for handling submixes?
You use Console X Channel and Buss like other consoles (Console 9 for instance). You can use Consolexpre anywhere and it doesn't need to be used with channel and buss. ConsoleX Pre it's console as a standalone. It is usefl ifyou don't want to use the console mixing typology but want ConsoleX Processing.
@@jonathan-bellot-23 I think I am going to have to wait for the livestreams as I can not get my head around it. I can not use the GUI version yet because of the Windows Defender hits, but I still can not work out what we should use on submixes (do we use channel or bus plugins or nothing?), and the main bus plugin seems to slam the compression on when it trips a certain level not matter what the settings are. There is clearly a lot of power and potential in it, so I am look forward to working out how to use it, but at present I am mystified. I am trying to put my mind back to using an analogue desk, because I guess that is where a lot of the answers are.
On Win 11 with latest Reaper, the ConsoleX buss and channel plugins appear in retro (?) mode - all vertical sliders like the standard aw plugins. I copied the ConsoleX stuff into my vst folder (ConsoleXBuss64.dll, ConsoleXChannel64.dll ). Are these the correct files? Do I need to do more than this or does the gui not work with reaper and win11? Thanks.(?) .... (edit) I have moved back to Win10 AND found the 2 .exe files - ConsoleXChannel-0.0.2-Windows.exe and ConsoleXBuss-0.0.2-Windows.exe. Ran them and clicked all the options to install all. I now have C:ProgramFiles/Airwindows/ with the 2 standalones which I can open. Where did it put the vsts that I can load with Reaper? I cannot find them anywhere. Thanks .... (edit) found them in C:/ProgramFiles/Common Files/VST3! (I run Reaper Portable so not used to looking here.
Since you like me are a Reaper user but you're on a known Windows version that's not Win7 (which I understand does not work with JUCE 8) and have found the plugins and started using them, please follow up with whether it worked properly like it did for me? That's a big question that may prevent any further experiments like this.
@@airwindows going to try that now! A quick question: - what format does this font file have to be and does it go in the /documents/Airwindows folder? Thanks.
@GrensOost if you placed the AirwindowsGlobals.txt file in users//Documents/Airwindows, it has a first line of "". It was crashing for me until I removed this line - presumably because it could not find the font. I have a message to Chris above asking what format the font file takes and where it goes. I was playing with changing colors by modifying AirwindowsGlobals.txt - userLEDColour etc on Win 10. Cannot get any colors to work on Win 11 yet - even the track color does not go into the e.g. ConsoleXChannel gui background, but this could be me - am comparing 10 and 11 configuration now
So far, bugs not withstanding, I’m liking the sound of consolexpre a lot. I know you must be up to your eyeballs in bug fixes Chris, but if you ever get round to it-bypass switches on the dynamics would be a workflow enhancement, especially in a plugin without typable values or numeric readouts. That way you don’t lose your compression settings if you want to check their efficacy against dry. Just ideas for further releases if you’re still up for refinements
When I need that I just sweep the ratio knobs to 1/1 (hard left), and that'd work for the gating too. I get that it's four knobs rather than say one button, but I think using ratio on these is pretty important so I encourage using the ratios more actively. The trick there is that they ARE dry, so they'll work as dry.
@@airwindows that would work fine for me if I could see/type in the values of where I was before. When im a/bing a value I want to make sure I can get back to exactly that value, if that makes sense. What I would do on your other plugins is copy the setting and then paste. Maybe that’ll work once the instantiation bug is fixed.
if someone can add some code so that the user loaded image in the background is auto size able when we resize the plugin then that might be cool. i think it would only be a small bit of code. what kind of code is this written in. kudos to you for getting this far ! : )
Trouble is, the resizing can't be constrained to a given aspect ratio in all DAWs (or even most) so you can't rescale the image, and even if you resize the image the controls reflow in different aspect ratios. It's JUCE code written in C++ and it's open source so if you'd like to try your hand, go for it! :)
My reaper seems to not load any presets, neither even default one, tried creating new default preset with compressor off, no loading,, just same plugin with no reaction to changing preset, vst3 reaper 28
Hello, I have just installed version 0.06 Chris, I have a question which version is the most stable, because the last one is a bit unstable, I started muting the paths, I work on Cubase Windows system, Regards
If you're able to use it AT ALL on Cubase Windows I'm thrilled! And 0.0.6 is the most recent one and most stable so far… and if you're able to come up with crash logs I want to hear about it. I can't run this on a Windows system, I don't have one (the machine I build WinVST2s on is a virtual machine that couldn't run this, and on Github it's being built by Github automation). So I'm going to need to get information from Windows users so I can debug it from a distance.
@@airwindows So, Chris, after installing everything seemed fine, but after a while it deleted the recorded guitar audio, then I had a problem closing the project, I mean closing the entire DAW cubase, trying to run the DAW, it opened without both audio guitar sheets, only after uninstalling the plugins, both of these guitar tracks have appeared again in the project, I really depend on these plug-ins, they are more for me understandable because they have a GUI, PLEASE CHRIS FIGHT FOR THESE PLUGINS, GREETINGS
@@airwindows I don't know if it's still important, but in version 0.0.3, which also works, there was a problem that when opening a few plugins to create a visual mixer on the screen with your plugins, it turned off the entire cubase
Hello Chris,I have a question,will you be able to fix the bugs on Windows plugin with GUI,because without GUI it works fine,just I will have to learn to read this plugin without graphics,thanks again for your efforts,you are like an Angel walking on earth,regards

The trick there is that they ARE dry, so they'll work as dry.
@@airwindows that would work fine for me if I could see/type in the values of where I was before. When im a/bing a value I want to make sure I can get back to exactly that value, if that makes sense. What I would do on your other plugins is copy the setting and then paste. Maybe that’ll work once the instantiation bug is fixed.
if someone can add some code so that the user loaded image in the background is auto size able when we resize the plugin then that might be cool. i think it would only be a small bit of code. what kind of code is this written in. kudos to you for getting this far ! : )
Trouble is, the resizing can't be constrained to a given aspect ratio in all DAWs (or even most) so you can't rescale the image, and even if you resize the image the controls reflow in different aspect ratios. It's JUCE code written in C++ and it's open source so if you'd like to try your hand, go for it! :)
My reaper seems to not load any presets, neither even default one, tried creating new default preset with compressor off, no loading,, just same plugin with no reaction to changing preset, vst3 reaper 28
I've not taught it to understand presets. I just barely got to having it remember settings o_O
@@airwindowsI’m having the same issue btw. Consolexpre loads a few db quieter than unity and I wanted to make a preset to offset that
Chris is that hd600 headphones? Thank you for all your plugins.
Yes they are. And glad I made more than just these ones, and that I included the retro AU/VST2 ones
Hello, I have just installed version 0.06 Chris, I have a question which version is the most stable, because the last one is a bit unstable, I started muting the paths, I work on Cubase Windows system, Regards
If you're able to use it AT ALL on Cubase Windows I'm thrilled! And 0.0.6 is the most recent one and most stable so far… and if you're able to come up with crash logs I want to hear about it. I can't run this on a Windows system, I don't have one (the machine I build WinVST2s on is a virtual machine that couldn't run this, and on Github it's being built by Github automation). So I'm going to need to get information from Windows users so I can debug it from a distance.
@@airwindows So, Chris, after installing everything seemed fine, but after a while it deleted the recorded guitar audio, then I had a problem closing the project, I mean closing the entire DAW cubase, trying to run the DAW, it opened without both audio guitar sheets, only after uninstalling the plugins, both of these guitar tracks have appeared again in the project, I really depend on these plug-ins, they are more for me understandable because they have a GUI, PLEASE CHRIS FIGHT FOR THESE PLUGINS, GREETINGS
@@airwindows I don't know if it's still important, but in version 0.0.3, which also works, there was a problem that when opening a few plugins to create a visual mixer on the screen with your plugins, it turned off the entire cubase
Hello Chris,I have a question,will you be able to fix the bugs on Windows plugin with GUI,because without GUI it works fine,just I will have to learn to read this plugin without graphics,thanks again for your efforts,you are like an Angel walking on earth,regards
i love your plugins but its over kill on how many knobs for one thing... i may as well have a mouse. also the encoders look like they need refinement
Ho ho from Portland UK
Console Xmas lolololol
FIRST LETS GOOOO
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nice pun
