Re: OT: clock plugin for mac

Is it this one?

Can't see a Mac version there. Great to have a timer if playing a short 30 minute festival set. I use to load a timer in my cell phone by my back pocket but then I never know how long time I have left. 

He, he... yesterday I had the same challenge when doing  a public lecture with laptop pix projections. Had to stand speaking at one corner of the hall and place the laptop on the bar desk where I recruited a local assistant to hit the space bar on my (far distance shouted) command. Pretty funny situation. I also had to bring out my cell phone now and then to keep track on time, since I only had 50 minutes and the topic was sort of serious. Next time I go out for a lecture I will bring the blue tooth controller to run the laptop myself by distance. It just hit me that I never told the guy yesterday how to bak the presentation one step ;-))  Not very optimal.

thanks per! i found a free widget called timer, that can do the trick. not a DAW per se, just the host Audiomulch. i'm using the counter for some *rough* sync in a group improvisation.

does anybody know of an onscreen big clock vst/au version for macs?

i could live with a regular clock, not counting bars, beats, etc ... just time in minutes, seconds... syncing with the host, would be a plus, although i think this should be a default behavior.

the host daw i'm using have small digits.

Not knowing what DAW this is I'd like to hint that if using Logic there is a "large SMPTE display" option if you right-click the transport bar. The time counter can be set up at any size.

To look for third-party plug-ins, do a search at KVR!

I know that you are not alone in wishing for a scalable time counter, so there might be a fair chance somebody has mocked up something.

There are also normal time clocks available as OSX Widgets. If you start it as you start the music it will follow close even though not in sync.
