So I really like the feature of having icons in the Raven Mixer. Great thing.
Here's the rub though, the manual is incomplete about this feature. This feature is not very well thought out. No offense, it's just very awkwardly implemented for the end user.
Right away my old Logic icons are great. So far I see no way to import them in except one at a time.
Kind of a PITA, not the end of the world. There are no specifications about size of icons in the Raven manual. So for a test after loading in 46 128x128 Logic icons I had I loaded in one 540x800 pixel jpg. This seems to have crashed the Custom Icon folder. so I removed the pic.
(The bad part here is revealed as soon as you dive in to do this. The Raven categorizes the Custom Icons in the user Library as Raven MTi/DP/Single/9/ <-- Then even further into folders for labeled, labledMTi, Mti, and Mtx. I'm about to receive a second license for Ableton Live and it looks like I would have to import in all 46 icons again to use with Live??? There's not a single good reason I can think of to limit the ability to use imported icons to a certain DAW?)
Here's the real killer though, the oversized jpg seems to have killed the Raven mixers ability to see any of my imported custom icons! They're all still sitting in the four folders they get imported into ( labeled, labledMTi, Mti, and Mtx ), but the icon browser in the Raven is BLANK.
Is there any way to fix this?
Is there any way to import custom icons in batch, or is it one at a a time?
What are the size limits for custom icons?
Why are custom icons DAW specific?
( Searching the forums reveals this sort of issue with Custom Icons has occurred with Pro Tools as well. )
