Well, makes sense to me. :) Maybe Soundtrack and/or Final Cut Pro is
using AUGraph, though? I'm not sure.
I guess there's no "in between" API because the non-AUGraph approach isn't
so bad. Just some more property and callback handling.
I guess another reason why Logic may not use AUGraph is because Logic also
has its own internal "plugin" format and also hosts VST in OS 9, so it
might be easier to have a common handling of them all. I don't know, I'm
just guessing...
I don't mean to make it sound like AUGraph is so simple, though, you can
do tons with it for sure.
