- Is Steinberg a monopoly on the VST and SDK market?
- Ask HN: What are 100K dollar ideas but not million dollar ideas?
-
Is there a DAW or VST that can stream input from over the network (REST request)?
I know you've mentioned loathing c++ but here is an easy library that combines some web elements into the whole vst world: https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2
-
does anyone know a tutorial on how to create a midi program?
If what you want is to make VST plugins, you're going to need a lot more. I've used the iplug/iplug2 framework: https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/tree/master/Examples/IPlugMidiEffect https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2

Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't
But you don't have only Linux, you have (and probably first) OSX and/or Windows and then Linux, and you need an API that works well in that case. Being an in-process dll/so plugin, while fraught with perils gets you to avoid other issues (state, health, restart, identity, etc.)
Also sometimes you don't have a choice, but have to make a dll, for example:
https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk or https://ae-plugins.docsforadobe.dev/ and many others. Sometimes it's the only viable choice.
(I wish most have used grpc/flatbuffers/whatever to communicate, but then every RPC call have to be checked/retried/handled, and or shared memory well handled, with (?) locks, etc. - not a trivial thing for someone who is deeply specialized in making a very good effect/renderer/etc instead of dealing with this extra complexity on top).

is it possible to write a DAW (digital audio workstation) or VSTs with Nim? any audio software, in general
Yeah, you can use nordaudio which wraps PortAudio which has support for every major audio back-end. As for writing a VST you may have to find a way to wrap or interface with Steinberg's SDK. MIDI support is possible by using an RtMIDI wrapper, which I haven't linked because there are a few of them out there of varying quality and I don't know which is best because I just use ALSA directly for my purposes.

How hard is it to make a VST plugin? Whether a instrument or effect.
You can read the VST3 SDK manual for yourself here https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3\_doc/vstsdk/index.html and access the source here: https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk.

Elementary Audio: a modern platform for writing high performance audio software
You have to use the steinberger SDK to make a vst
https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk
But audio plugins come in many formats.

Is there a way to compile windows programs on linux?

Question for programmers in this group: how do you incorporate programming in music and the other way around?
You can do VST3 as GPL. They dual license it. Lots of legalese to read but definitely an option. https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk/issues
