Pimp Your DAW

Post by Trichome » Sun Oct 10, 2010 10:50 am

Ok, so I was bored of Fruity's dull look, so I searched around the internet for some skin templates so I could make my own.. to no avail.. (I did find a skinning tutorial though)

However, I did find this site:
http://www.theflipsideforum.com/index.php?board=33.0

It requires registration, but the amount of skins on there, its worth it..

I don't know much about skinning other DAW's, but ill search around and post my findings in this thread :t:
Soundcloud

When I first knifed man, it felt funny
Next day come, it became funny

You can customise ableton quite a lot with this program:
http://sonictransfer.com/ableton-live-skin-editor.shtml

I've got a fair few custom skins I use. My favourite is in the same colour scheme as my top soundcloud player in my sig :D

As for reason I don't think customisation is available.

It is, but only skins for the Combi I believe.

Reaper users are always the first to turn a thread into a "My DAW is better than yours" debate XD

I used to use it for ages till I got the customiser now I never do. You can make much better ones than the default pack if you take a few minutes to do it right.

frost suits me so well that it seems pointless to waste the time making a skin when i could be doing functional things in ableton.
