I'm REALLY not very knowledgeable about plugins, but discovered last year some of the elaborate needs some users have for several on different channels and such helping them use Linux. My point was that if you start adding features for this, where does it end, or even at what point of complexity does it help mega users at the expense of making the work flow difficult for those with less feature rich needs? That is a lot of older musicians can't stand the audio apps thrust on them by the Apple world, and it seems Non Daw's goals are to simplify things for them as well.
It really isn't just a plugin point, but a point about what non daw is. The old unix thing about 'do what you do well' coupled with jack's ability to chain apps would lend itself to an app like Carla bulking up for these needs, or another being created that would be completely feature rich for those who are plugin on plugin chaining dependent. Again I'm not knowledgeable as much as seeing the extreme differences between goals/needs of users I'm helping, Will On Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 1:57 PM, John Rigg <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Mar 09, 2014 at 01:00:09PM -0500, will cunningham wrote: > > There may be a cut-off to where you use plugins in Non directly.
