Re: [LAD] Qt GUI for LV2 Plugin

"At this moment of Linux Audio Plugin History I'd recommend you to convert your plugin into a standalone application. Then you can add whatever GUI you want and don't have to worry about connectivity issues and host compatibility, since all will be handled by jack/jack-midi/alsa-seq. Add lash or jack-session support and we are good to go." I would like to comment this paragraph and advice strongly against what is suggested here. Standalone application is cool, but I don't think that Linux needs more standalone applications which you cannot save into a project, but which you have to reopen, etc. We need more plugins and I urge all devs to prioritize plugins over standalone at any time. To illustrate my point, please read this article: http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=writings&t=linux&a=… Please, please consider this seriously. We really need more plugins and less standalone apps. Any plugin can become a standalone app with the use of effect racks, be it JACK Rack or LV2 Rack, but not vice versa. -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.ru/
