I recently attached a 1440p monitor to my PC and most applications (Reaper, Firefox, etc.) look great, but SF18 looks blurred. Is there any way to fix this?
Try using a High DPI override setting. Right-click the SFP <.exe> or the shortcut, Select 'Properties> Compatibility> Change high DPI settings' There are a few options so you may have experiment some..
In my case, the toolbar text and icons were to small to read on my 4k monitor (my old less than perfect eyes) so I adjusted high DPI settings. see screenshot.
Sadly, each new SF 'upgrade' introduces more new counter-productive issues (the redesigned batch tool for instance). I use SFP-14 or 15 more than SFP-18. For my usual work-flow, SFP-16 & 17 were mostly unusable due to the 32-bit VST-2 display issue. Personally I am disgusted.
Hi Rick, thanks for that. Worked a treat. I unchecked the upper box and checked the lower one. "System (Enhanced)" didn't look too bad at all and I would have settled for that, but "Application" actually seems to work best, so I'll go with that. Much appreciated.
It's a shame that SF isn't improving as much as it could. It's such a great application, in general, and could reach a wider userbase. But there's practically zero marketing for it that I'm aware of and almost nothing in the way of up-to-date tutorials. I know iZotope is a much larger company, but when you look at the number of videos they release for their product range, MAGIX could learn something from this. It feels like SF is just launched out into the ether and the only ones who know about it are its existing userbase. Anyway, I'm ranting now. It's just that with more marketing and more people buying it, they'd have more money coming in to re-invest and make sure features like Batch Converter aren't as poorly thought-out as they are. I had hoped I'd be independent of previous versions, but it seems I'll have to keep SF 14 on-hand for now.
Thanks again, Rick.
