Honest question: why does it matter if you see pixels while producing audio?
- jeremiep 9y agoI'm guessing it has to do with how the waveform is rendered. More pixels means a more precise waveform view.
- bitL 9y agoI have 3x 4k displays, one of them 30" DCI 4k, one 55" UHD, plus a rMBP and an ultrabook with 3200x1800. I simply can't go back to see pixels again. Once you get used to better, you dislike a downgrade.
- greggyb 9y agoI get that, but it's a general point. You specifically called out producing audio, and I was curious if there were specific visual features that are necessary in producing audio. I get it for video editing. I also understand the general "I like high resolution" case. I am wondering if there is something I am unaware of about the combination of high resolution and audio that made you call that out as a specific use case.
- bitL 9y agoBeside nicer fonts you have "sub-pixel" resolution in e.g. your piano roll/channel list, so you can zoom out a bit more while still able to distinguish stuff there. That is handy if you work with a very large number of channels.
