By this do you mean it’s an Audio Unit (Apple’s own plugin format) or that it’s an audio-visual FX plugin? I’m on Mac but I exclusively use Bitwig on there and that doesn’t accept AUs, only VSTs
Ableton has some great stock devices for doing signal processing, so setting up a bandpass filter with an envelope follower for low, mids and highs and connecting it to the AU-plugins parameters is a breezer. But how does this work with Bitwig or logic for example? Anyone here using other DAWs than ableton that could provide some insight?
The best would of course be to build in an envelope follower in the plugin, for low/mids/highs. This would easen the signal chain for the user. But would require quite some work.
Bitwig has the spectral suite plugins that divide audio in various ways to allow separate processing on certain frequency bands, etc. But like I say, it doesn’t accept AU plugins, so it’s a no go
It’s getting closer to a beta release… still some work left.
Here’s a little update; Based on the responses in the thread, I realised that it needs to have envelope following capabilities built in. I mean… it is an AuV3-effect after all so it kinda makes sense that it would process incoming audio. Even if Bitwig doesn’t support AU-plugs right now, they might adjust that in the future. And it should work in Logic and other DAWs as well imo.
I’ve also added support for rearranging effect groups, slicker UI, saving and loading presets, improved signal processing and mapping – and displaying on an external screen.
In the roadmap I have some more generative stuff incoming:
