When using Windows on high-resolution monitors (4K and above), you may encounter graphical issues with our plugins. We're actively working on improvements to address these cases.
Depending on the DAW and plugin, scaling settings may have different effects depending on how the plugin UI is rendered.
🖥️ Windows Scaling Settings
On Windows, you can adjust the size of your software for each monitor under Settings > System > Display > Scale and Layout.
By default, 4K monitors (3840×2160 resolution) are set to 150% scaling. Please ensure your scaling and resolution settings are reasonable:
- If the plugin appears too large, lower the scaling percentage or increase your monitor resolution.
- If the plugin appears too small, increase the scaling percentage or lower your monitor resolution.
Pro Tools
Pro Tools manages plugin scaling internally and may appear blurred if Windows scaling is set above 100%.
Note: If you encounter additional issues, see the Additional Issues section below.
Ableton Live
Make sure "Auto-Scale Plug-In Window" is unchecked. You can find this option by right-clicking the plugin name in Ableton Live's plugin list. After making changes, please reopen your session.
REAPER
Make sure "Multimonitor aware V2" mode is enabled under Preferences > General > Advanced UI/System tweaks.
You'll need to restart REAPER to apply the change.
Studio One
Make sure "HiDPI mode" is unchecked inside the plugin window settings.
Cubase
Enable HiDPI by going to Edit > Preferences > General.
After enabling it, click Apply and restart Cubase to finalize the changes.
FL Studio
Currently, the only way to benefit from plugin HiDPI mode in FL Studio is to run plugins in bridged mode. More details can be found here.
⚠️ Warning: We do not officially support bridged mode, and you may encounter issues when using it.
🛠️ Known Issues
- Some older products (VTM, VBC, VSC, AirEQ, E2Deesser, VMR) only partially support scaling. On Windows scaling settings below 150%, these plugins will render at 100%. At 150% and above, they will jump to 200% scaling.
🧠 Additional Issues
If you still experience UI sizing issues after trying the steps above, you can attempt the following workaround:
- Close your DAW.
- Locate your DAW's executable file in Windows Explorer (typically under Program Files).
- Right-click the executable and select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Open the Change high DPI settings menu.
- Check Override high DPI scaling behavior.
- In the dropdown, select System or System (Enhanced).
- Click OK and then Apply the changes.
