Topic: VST3 support?

CLAP all the way I reckon. I’m no developer, but from the outside it looks a lot more inviting 🙂
Also, there is already a free CLAP/vst3 wrapper in the works:

Seems like the way to go, to me.

would be really nice if there support for VST3 !!

Yes, another hope for VST3 support here..

Like Paul, I’ve just bought the Blackstar plugins. I’m having to export bounces, set up a project in another DAW to track the guitars with that plugin, export the rendered audio, then bring it back in to Podium to include in the mix. Of course, I can’t make simple tweaks without repeating this circuitous route..

VST2 was marked as deprecated some time ago. I am immensely grateful for you still supporting VST2, but VST3 has now been out over 15years, and much as I don’t like it from a technical POV (it STILL doesn’t have a full MIDI implementation!), it is what many newer companies are offering without VST2 🙁

I have begun updating the code to allow for multiple plugin formats. It’s taking some time because I want to get it right and make it future proof for new formats. The code for VST2 support is quite ugly in places, as a result of 20+ years of having to add special checks for various VST2 plugins that deviate in their interpretation of the VST2 standard. I would like to avoid having to repeat that with VST3 support. VST3 support in Podium is still some months away.
