The coding underneath in either format is quite close, you just have to relate commands for CoreAudio and ASIO.
The real pain in the arse is the way that each platform handles there gui.
For that reason, I was told it's good advice to basically break the program in 1/2. I part audio process the other gui/front end code. It makes it a lot easier to port over later..
I've done a VST (it didn't do anything fancy. It was just a gain) but not done an AU. It's next on the list... |
Ah ok – I didn’t know that. I’m originally a computer programmer by trade and have occasionally thought about delving into writing a
VST/
AU. I even downloaded the
VST 2 SDK from Steinberg (and for some odd reason, they would only ever let you download it once, so don’t lose it!) But because I’m a lazy git, I’ve never actually looked at it.
