bitching and moaning
May 12, 2006
Can I just reiterate (really quick before I go to bed) how terrible the DXi and VSTi SDKs are? They make it impossible for people to write solid hosts, and make for tons of lousy plugins that don't handle any host that isn't PERFECT. All they need is better documentation and developer discussion (so developers of hosts can know what plug-ins use to do things, and developers of plug-ins can know what hosts are doing). For example, after one email from the developer of jamstix, I got it working in REAPER. If only the FL Studio devs would mail me (who am I kidding, but I'd love to be proven wrong)...

Since we're still waiting to hear back from Propellerheads on the Rewire SDK, we may just have to do something of our own to add rewire-like functionality. Perhaps we can call it ReaRoute, and perhaps it will work with tons of other software, without them having to do a thing. Mmmmm. Lots of code to write.

It just pisses me off to no end how all of these audio software companies don't care about their users. They care about them, but keeping them just happy enough to get some of their money. Fuck that.

Hey, How are you doing? Justin any news about your software?

I agree that the specs suck. VST is the biggest mess ever concieved. DX is dead.

Communication? Too many experts. They all do it differently and they are all write. Host vendors are the sack sacks in all of this. Have you read the VST mailing list? Sooooo many egos and sooooooo much bad info spread around.
I tried to get them to talk and failed. I meet these guys at dev shows and email them all the time. Most are not interested or shoot back "it works in Nuendo"....sigh...


What defines "caring about users" in your book?
