Xcode 13: "Add packages" doesn't do anything
I' just installed Xcode 13 and try to run a playground that uses a package (https://github.com/AudioKit/AudioKit). To add it I'm supposd to select "File -> Add Packages...", but when I do this absolutely nothing happens. No window appears, no error message, just nothing. What could be the reason for this?

I spent the xmas break learning how to make my own plugins
It seems to be the industry standard at least. I have played around with iPlug2 and AudioKit a little bit but not enough to really form an opinion. (iPlug2 is described by the authors as "not production ready" and AudioKit is mac / ios only)

Best way to consume CMake based C lib in Swift for iOs/desktop
I can’t help with that, but I would suggest looking at AudioKit. Even if it doesn’t help you replace that dependency, it might give you pointers for doing it yourself.

I wanna get into producing
undertstand how to install VST (Virtual Studio Technology) download some free plugins. FREE ONES, NO matter if they sound superduper or not. just to play around and try to undertstand them. watch some tutorials how to set them up in your DAW. i recommend the Plugin Helm! yes not the best but for free and alot of options to learn from it. and thats what makes it great! https://tytel.org/helm/ . i recommend this heavily because you have some sounds to start witha and you can create alone with this one alot. i mean really alot. there are endless tutorials how to make some specific sounds with this. than you need to a drumkit. you can use helms drumsounds and so on. but i recommend to search for a better way to do drums. helm can give you good piano, bass, and so on. but take your time to find a drum plugin. after you played around with helm already.

Bojack's Roland Jupiter 4
Does anyone here have a suggestion for a really cool software synth (preferably free) that can do these kinds of things? I've been messing with Helm, Cardinal and the built-in synths in Bitwig Studio and have yet to get a satisfying result... Don't you hate it when that happens?
