Developing with CLAP - the Clever Audio Plugin format - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2022
- This is the start of a series of video about developing for and with CLAP, the new standard for audio plugins (instruments and effects).
The first part talks about why open source licensing is important, frameworks which already support clap, as well as available tools and getting Cmake ready for the development.

Thanks for pointing out so crystal clear the importance of the licenses of the different Plugin formats. There are still a lot myths around about vst/vst3 and others and people are not aware what obstacles are "hidden" in the license agreements. 🌻 🚀
Nice informations, Jürgen. Danke!
I wish bitwig would allow 3rd party clap plugins to have their own little popup (not talking about main ui) like the native devices in the effects chain. The Grid is very powerful but doesnt cut it just like m4l (resynthesis, convolution, uis etc.). Its a fine line..

i’m still confused... So u make code then export in CLAP format ? I know clap has new features so i wanna take advantage of that. I just don’t even know how to see the interface of the code i’m making
If you watch the 2nd part it should get clearer.
VST/VSTi has been stuck to the 1990's for too long. CLAP clearly is the "how it's supposed to be done for the hardware of today and future"... and it's open source. That's just amazing!
But in a way it saddens me that the "key issue" if CLAP lives or dies is if one can _make money_ with CLAP and make sure that people can't just circumvent the copy-protections etc...
But that's the wold we live in. Making plugins and recording gigantic sample libraries etc. costs tons of money. One can't live with donations alone.
Companies need to make money independent from which plugin standard is used. So, I think that is not an issue for CLAP.
