Continuing the discussion from Rack development blog : It’s been over 2 months since there’s been any announcements in the development blog. I’d like to start designing a few modules but I’m reluctant to given the ever impending release. I know there have been threads started before asking for an ET…

Sorry, I don’t know all the VST facts, or I would probably know the answer already ;-). But why care so much about VST 2 compatibility? Are there a lot of VSTs currently produced that are VST 2 and not also VST 3?

yeah, I’m not sure why the first target is vst2. Everything new is vst3. Anything else is just legacy

My vague impression is that the VST3 spec is a lot harder to write for, which may be exacerbated by the hard design problems something like Rack for DAWs poses (it’s more likely to push into dark corners than most plugins would). JUCE has abstracted a lot of this out, which I suspect has helped wit…

[image] gc3: problems something like Rack for DAWs I only caught a minute of Andrew on the discord voice chat last night before I had a phone call, and he was discussing various VST development issues. Maybe one of the other chat participants can share more about it.

Well, I feel bad about suggesting all sorts of draconian possibilities. It sounds like Andrew is burned out or otherwise in not a great place, mentally/emotionally, and that’s rough to go through. Andrew, I highly recommend Prozac to take the edge off. 40mg is what I take. Talking to a doctor about…

It’s good to hear from Andrew again, although I’m sad to hear him describe his near-burnout, as I would call it. It’s a very ambitious project, and I’m sure it hasn’t been helped by the pandemic and various social issues that’s been happening around it. I doubt he’ll read this, but if could give An…

First of all; best to Andrew. His health should come before anything else. Before we all jump into new expectations concerning new names for rack2/vsts; I think it would be wise to take his last post as something serious. It has been apparent since v0.6 that his project is very ambitious and that h…

Since January I’ve been finding it difficult to work on VCV Rack. I know that many of you are anticipating the release of Rack v2 and Rack for DAWs, so I apologize to everyone waiting on these versions. I will continue trying to work on these in the future, but it will be hard for me, emotionally and mentally. I think v2 will bring the greatest update to VCV Rack yet, with thousands of development hours behind it. It will solve at least half of the criticisms of VCV Rack v1, so the wait will be…
