VST3 and JUCE 2025

Post by Ruben VS »

Hello again SAC users. Does anyone know if there is any progress regarding VST3 or regarding the problems with JUCE plugins? I'm hoping Bob can do it.
My Setup SAC:

interface - digigramLX646
preamps - Yamaha Ad8hr
Outs - Yamaha DME80-es
protocol audio - Ethersound
I control gain remote ;);

AFAIK Bob is working on VST3 implementation but it seems to be quite difficult.
I use this plugin to get VST3 running in SAC, maybe this helps:

Ruben,

I strongly suggest that you peruse my earlier posts on this "subject".

As a past SynthEdit user, I came across many - myself included, that though we were calling ourselves "developers" - all we were, in fact, is just "GUI reconfigure-ers"!

I mean, that many - and I mean, MANY...had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA whatsoever what it really-and-truly meant to be a programmer. - or the math behind the GUI's we were all re-configuring!!

I mean, consider Valhalla?!? I literally spent hundreds of dollars on their "product"...only to discover after many, many, many hours of troubleshooting, to have the developer to state, that I was the only whom he was ware of that was having issues!! The very same goes for Overloud!!

It is not unlike a slightly modified version of a quote I once heard, "Ya' know! Yestidy I did not know how to spel the wrd "prowgrammer...and today I are one!"

Stay with the genuine article [RML Labs plug-in for one, FabFilter plug-ins for another...].

PS: I do remember a phone conversation with Jeff McClintock, the developer of SynthEdit, and I was told that his environment was written in assembler - so not hooking into the Windows OS was going on. This "apparently" is NOT the case with JUCE - which, as I understand it, is written entirely in C++ [...at least from the source code snippets that I have observed].

My advice - take-it-or-leave it...is to stay away from JUCE altogether!

I do hope that this information helps?
