Hey im having a problem at step 3.b (generic editor).
when i run the plugin im not seeing the fader, but when automating using ableton I can automate the cutoff freq. any suggestions?

Thanks!

It is hard to tell without seeing your code, but there’s only one line in Tutorial 3b so please double check that.
I’ve found that if I did not delete the existing code in the createEditor() function, then I just see the “Hello World” GUI and no slider - but automation works and also the Assignable X-Y Control. Perhaps that’s what happened to you?
Please let me know how you get on :slight_smile:

Dear drollie,
thanks for your tutorial on logarithmic slider, it put me right on the track. As there were a few open questions about the skewfactor I’d like to hint you to the recent forum topic https://forum.juce.com/t/slider-skew-problem/63716?u=herrgross, where some of the questions could be answered. Maybe you want to refer to it in your tutorial…
Thanks again,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the heads-up. Like DaveH I had always thought there were resolution problems at the low end of log sliders, but you have uncovered the truth! I have gratefully linked to your forum thread if that’s OK? Check out my revised page: https://jucestepbystep.wordpress.com/logarithmic-sliders/
Glad to know the tutorials are still helping folks. I’ll have a look at graphics next…
best regards, Ollie

Hello.
I wish to get the code files to practice your tutorial but it seems links are not availlable anymore : https://bankspeninsulamusic.x10host.com/Audio_Coding/Juce/Downloads/downloads.html
Is there any way to fix that ?

Anyway, thanks for your awesome tutorial

Hi, Thanks for the feedback :slight_smile:
The files are still there on my website server, but I too had some trouble getting there and downloading them :frowning:
WordPress wouldn’t let me offer direct downloads without a subscription, so I rigged up a link to an external webpage and used the HTML download attribute. Try putting the URL into your browser manually, omitting the https://
When I attempt to download using Chrome I get a .crdownload file in my Downloads folder. I can’t seem to do anything with that, but clicking the download icon in Chrome shows the zip folder along with a note: insecure download blocked, and clickable text: Keep. Clicking Keep gets me the zip folder that I want.
I’m not sure why this is happening, or how to improve it. Does anybody else on the forum have any ideas, please?
Ollie

Hi. Thanks for the answer. That’s light my mind. My problem was from Chrome. I can get the files (without https://) with Firefox. An idea is maybe you could push your Tutorial files on github ?
Thanks again for your tutorials.

P.S. That’s weird. With Chrome, I got a 404 response : The resource requested could not be found on this server!

Hi,
Yes, I also got a 404 until I removed https:// from the URL. I think github might be a good idea, thanks :slight_smile:
