What are you using these days preferably when it comes to #plugin formats on #linux? CLAP, VST3, LV2 or VST? #linuxaudio
While I would like to give #clap the advantage, in my experience #vst3 plugins cause the least problems in conjunction with #bitwig.
Having now written the same PoC plugin from scratch three times for different APIs:
#CLAP is by far my favorite: open, very clean, no bullshit
#AUv3 is obtuse in a way APIs / frameworks by big corporations tend to be. Logic / GarageBand being the de facto implementations, their bugs in effect become undocumented parts of the API
#VST3... oh boy. Steinberg shot for the moon when a ladder would be enough, as demonstrated by CLAP. Awful experience.
So here it is: Panacea, my first plugin. Panacea is an autopan audio effect plugin with the possibility of humanization, syncing to the host tempo and basic visualization for 64-bit Linux (VST2) and Windows (VST2, VST3). With its help, you can easily add more life and variety to your music.
Panacea is free and open source software released under the GPLv3 license.
How many #plugins do you have installed on your system? 🫣️ I always remove the ones I do not use and currently sport the following numbers: #clap: 36 / #lv2: 22 / #vst2: 92 / #vst3: 104
If I subtract different variants of the same plug-in, I get 92 individual plug-ins. Feels like a lot to me! 😝️ #musicproduction#daw#inthebox#linux#macos#windows#linuxaudio
Fellow #Musodon humans and #ElectronicMusic makers. D16 just released Drumazon 2, their upgraded 909 inspired drum synth and this thing is a complete package. The presets are absolute gold. And the features! Oh my!
