my understanding is that it is not
meant to be the end-all be-all of AU hosting APIs, but instead to
strike a
balance between features and simplicity, a balance which allows it to
meet
the needs of most AU hosts in a nicely simple and elegant way, but not
necessarily to meet the needs of every AU host.
I was guessing this was probably the case. The reason I asked
specifically about Logic is that the AU hosting APIs used by Logic will
get the most attention in terms of being stable, powerful, and flexible
enough for high end professional apps. It would be wonderful if the
whole community could benefit from the attention Apple puts into this
through implementing Logic and thus focus on the features that make our
apps unique.
If our guess is correct then it is something of an all or nothing
proposition - simpler apps can use AUGraph but higher end pro apps will
need to build their own AU hosting APIs. Might there be a middle
ground whereby a base hosting API would provide and implementation for
simple apps while also providing a foundation for more sophisticated
apps (including Logic), allowing them to override and replace parts of
the system as necessary.
It would be very cool to have a way to start simple and grow an app
into more a more complex implementation knowing all along that it is
built on the same foundation as renowned app as Logic.
It is really cool how Apple has made available all the work of the
Safari team through NSURL, WebKit, and so forth. I guess I am saying I
would like to see something similar done with Logic so we have
"dogfood" APIs to work with.
Does this make sense or am I crazy?
Matthew
