IHR_07_18_06 Bonus Video Podcast
July 18th, 2006 by Derek
This video is formatted for the video iPod using MPEG-4 encoding. On your Mac or Windows computer, you can use iTunes or QuickTime (both free) to view it.
If you use a Mac, did you know that Mac OS X has a built-in screen-zoom feature? It’s designed as part of the disabled-accessibility features of the operating system, but Paul finds it’s very useful for enlarging those teeny-tiny controls so many DAW and plugin manufacturers include with their products, especially on a large screen.
Check out the video (1 minute 3 seconds) to find out how to set the zoom up, and how Paul uses it.
UPDATE: When Apple released the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update at the end of September 2007, it included a nice preference setting to have zooming turned on by default, and controlled using your mouse scroll wheel.

For PC users that are interested in this type of feature, there’s a program called Zzoom which does this type of this and is ALSO a color picker and image grabber (all in one):
