Paul, I'm afraid you do have to. Your host may be able to handle Cocoa, but others may not and VST doesn't even allow it in 32-bits. So you really have to use the Carbon even if there would be just a few remaining hosts asking for it. After all many customers still use some ancient versions or both OS and host. I still get questions about supporting Tiger... Unfortunatelly Apple made compatibility such a pain...

Cheers!

Hi,

when programming AudioUnits (or other audio plugin interfaces) one has to implement 3 GUI interfaces - embedded, composited and cocoa.


This language is wierd. You do not *have* to do this. You can choose which to support. Given that Carbon has been deprecated for over 10 years and is finally vanishing, one choice is to just focus on Cocoa.

I am a host author and our life is made MUCH easier when a plugin offers a cocoa GUI. Using the Carbon ones in a Cocoa-based host requires some really awful hacks.
