zrythm VS clap

Zrythm is

I just tested Ubuntu 22.10+PipeWire+Zrythm and I get the exact same result. I have to run /usr/bin/pw-jack /opt/zrythm-1.0.0.beta.3.10.1/bin/zrythm_launch unless I install Zrythm from Flatpak as Flatpak seems to already embed pw-jack.

Free and opensource DAWs: Ardour is the "standard" traditional DAW, but I recommend checking out Zrythm or Qtractor as you might prefer their workflows.

we keep a fork there if you prefer to use github (https://github.com/zrythm/zrythm) but we don't actually use github for development

if you really want to use github pull requests instead of sending patches feel free to do that and I'll still look at them but we recommend patches via email because it's an open and standard system

Zrythm looks promising, though I'm not an audio guy, myself.

alias zrbuild=”startdir=$PWD ; mkdir binary ; git clone https://github.com/zrythm/zrythm.git ; cd zrythm ; meson build -Dprefix=$startdir/binary/ ; meson compile -C build ; meson install -C build”

For CLAP plugins, hopefully this extension will land at some point, and host and plugin developers will implement support for it. https://github.com/free-audio/clap/pull/311

In the previous release, which came out a few days before this one, I got the GUI to run in Bitwig on Windows. It unfortunately doesn't yet work on macOS. I also implemented a new patch format which has better support for compatibility transformations and the clap state extension. Patches created with previous versions are automatically converted when opened.

If you need inspiration from a well designed C plugin API, look at CLAP.

I'm proud to announce the latest major yabridge release. I spent the last couple months working on support for bridging CLAP plugins. With yabridge 5.0 you can now use Windows CLAP plugins in native Linux CLAP hosts with full functionality. CLAP is a collaborative effort by a group of plugin and host developers of all backgrounds to create a permissively licensed extensible plugin standard that is simple while also catering to the needs of plugin developers, host developers, and musicians alike. When bridged under yabridge, these plugins are likely to have lower bridging overhead than their VST2 and VST3 counterparts while also being more responsive and offering better support for instrument plugins and parameter modulation.

Maybe make a CLAP version?
