If you were ever curious, the difference between "cool" and "fool" is...

Maaaaan, I dunno about Antares any more. When they put out that Kantos plug, I was like “okaaay… you guys need to stop running the UIs through committee.” I mean, nice idea and all, but damn.

They just released Voice Thing (pictured above) and even gave it its own website. Truthfully, it has never occurred to me to give our products individual websites. I would like to think that’s because the idea is silly, but who knows? But let’s talk about the UI for this one for a minute.

While I’m certainly the first person that’s gonna appreciate cartoon graphics in a plug-in (in fact, I think I’m the first UI designer to actually use cel shading, to the best of my knowledge), I draw the line, you know? I suppose you need to try everything out, but this one makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I don’t even really care what it does. I just want to run fast in the other direction.
