You should also check out AudioKit. The latest release should have an audio engine completely rewritten purely with Swift iirc.

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.

Anyone got the sfizz vst3 plugin to work in bitwig on linux?
sfizz (https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz), which loads sfz multisamples and is open source, comes as vst3 plugin, and it can be installed in manjaro, but I haven't been able to use it in bitwig yet.

How do I change an instrument sound in the mixer? No options shows up in the mixer sound menu? 🤔
You could install a VST (like sfizz) and whatever soundfonts you'd like to use (Musical Artifacts is a great site to find some), then pull up the VST to switch instruments.

Sfizz in LMMS Linux
So I'm trying to migrate to Linux and want to use the VSCO Community Orchestra Pack. On the site it recommends using sfizz to load the files. So, I've gone to their website, installed as the sfizz website instructed... But there's nothing? Nothing in LMMS or anything showing up on my system. I'm assuming there's some piece of software I'm missing here.
