That's not quite the case... HDX cards can be used on Apple Silicon with Rosetta 2 via the Avid-branded chassis from Sonnet, and I've personally not had a problem with that. Of course, some driver-level work would be…
> Adding VST3 support to Ardour/Mixbus, we did not experience this as a notable issue at all. Not as a host; but this was a major stumbling block for more advanced plug-ins like, say, Kontakt. Given that VST3 was based…
Apologies, Paul. When I saw your 2017 keynote (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk2AMwc4e2k) from the Linux Audio Conference, you seemed less enthusiastic than in other talks you've given. Maybe I was reading too much…
The proliferation of bespoke sample players has solely been for commercial reasons, though. For example, a company receives outside money, say Spitfire; the investors ask if the company owns all their own IP; a…
I'm not sure how you become less dependent on Steinberg or Apple by promoting another standard that really needs them to support it to fulfill its logical destiny. If Steinberg can revoke a developer's license at will…
True. But Avid are largely terrible at implementing new technologies in a timely manner, especially since they started off-shoring development as more and more of the old timers went to recreate Pro Tools as Luna for…
It is negative, but you have understand how niche the music and audio market really is to put some of my comments in context. I'm all for new and cool and all the rest of it, but the end users here--composers,…
Most are quite similar, which is why the vast majority of commercial plug-in developers gravitate to using something like JUCE (or, to a lesser extent, iPlug). Such a framework makes it easy to target a single API and…
This highlights a big problem in the world of music and audio software: everyone likes the idea of standards, just so long as they control the standard. And while this problem no doubt exists in other domains, it's…
