I am implementing a 32bit AudioUnit, for which the GUI has been

and cant find any documentation on how to achieve this.
This may not be a workable solution in your specific plugin, but it's
always possible to leave out the Carbon view and allow Ableton Live
to provide its own GUI. The AudioUnit specification allows a host to
get full information on all parameters and their ranges, so that
frequencies, decibels, and other settings can be shown.
There are a few plugins which actually do need custom UI because
their parameters do not fall within the possibilities of the AU spec,
but often it is possible to get around the seeming limitation with a
little ingenuity.
In other words, perhaps someone can point out some Carbon UI sample
code, but in the mean time you should confirm that you actually need
it for Ableton Live.
