MAC question for a windows/futur mac user
-
-
@staiff garage band is only au. You can download Reaper for free. That will load your vst plugs
-
yep !
i edited the previous post when you answered ;)if I understand well it's a Xcode 10 behaviour ?
xcode 8 as similar behaviour than VS (put compiled plugins in "compiled" project folder ?)aaaaaaaaaarg ! of course reaper ! why I didn't think about it before !!!!!
-
@staiff in my case plug-in are placed on where all of my plug-ins are. Not in my computer now but think is Application Support/Audio/VST and Components for UI
XCode 8 as compiler. -
Wow, so many misunderstandings in one post - it's a new record for you staiff :)

Visual Studio on macOS has nothing to do with Visual Studio on Windows. It's just a rebranded version of another IDE called Xenomai, which is admittedly highly confusing. There's no way around XCode on macOS currently (there is another IDE called CLion which might get supported in the future, but even then for compiling iOS apps you need XCode).
-
You don't need anything to compile AU plugins, the SDK is included in macOS by default.
-
There is no "better" plugin format (actually there is, but it's completely beside the point). You will need to provide both VST and AU in order to support all available hosts. Once Ableton jumps to VST3 support I might change this too (actually you're not allowed anymore to distribute VST2 plugins without a license agreement with Steinberg)
-
If you want to compile on macOS 10.14, you have to disable the 32bit builds in the Projucer projects - this is not the default because some people still need it, but I will change that as soon as you can deprecate 32bit safely altogether (and I am looking forward to this because the sample streaming really benefits from 64bit).
maybe it's a good idea to create a Dev environment setup quick list or something for win and mac. In fact I don't remember what's exactly needed to setup a PC or a Mac. Need to dive in forum for long time to find all of the information.
Not just hise and vst sdks but xpretty, xcode versions, vs versions, win sdks, ipp urls, etcThis is basically already there, but it needs a bit polishing and updating. If you want, you can edit it here and open a pull request.

"Visual Studio on macOS has nothing to do with Visual Studio on Windows. It's just a rebranded version of another IDE called Xenomai, which is admittedly highly confusing."
I'm stupid, but not enough to confuse the two. in the projucer project, VS2017 only appears in a "windows" section. It is confusing; and anyway I have not managed to compile hise with VS, but with Xcode.
in hise, all projects has only VS2017 available to compile, no Xcode. But when i compile plugin and standalone it works, even if i don't know if it's VS4Mac or xcode working, but it's working and it's the essential."You don't need anything to compile AU plugins, the SDK is included in macOS by default."
discovered it. Not the same thing on Win.
what is the "lib .a" file created with the component ?"There is no "better" plugin format (actually there is, but it's completely beside the point). You will need to provide both VST and AU in order to support all available hosts. "
Yes. as i created plugins to just test Mac and not distribute it, i compiled both and tested in reaper (that loads both)."If you want to compile on macOS 10.14, you have to disable the 32bit builds in the Projucer projects."
yep, Dustbro mentionned this above.the sample library (.hr1) is the same for both win and mac ? if i already made it on Win, i've just to compile the plugin, no need to create the installer again ? (sure the answer is yes).
The reason for all this is not to create public Mac plugins, but just that I may be working in a new web development company that only works on Mac. and I only work on PC.
so I acquired Mac Friday, studied OSX on Saturday morning, and installed HISE / xcode / VS for mac / etc. Sunday to train on Mac (and eventually show them the plugins compiled to show what I can do on Mac)I know, web development has nothing to do with VST. :)

@staiff from the way you answered you look a little upset with Christoph. Maybe you do not know it... Christoph is the guy who created HISE. If you are new to MAC, you need a bit more patience and follow the Christoph advice to search informations in the forums ;)
-
No offense taken, and @staiff knows who I am - I think we all remember his marriage proposal a few weeks ago :)

@ossian1961
I already found everything I wanted. but thanks anyway for the advice.
Only you may not have read my signature: I am French. You know, this people who, when they are not happy, put on a yellow vest and demolish secular buildings that have made history and the reputation of their country. The Frenchman wants everything immediately, by paying less than the normal price, and demolishes everything - by provoking more expensive damage than demand.For hise it's the same. I ask questions about hise / Mac, but I already want HISE 3.0 free, before everyone else. :D
Uh ... In case you did not understand, I'm joking, it's an ironic message ... So Frenchy ... ;)
And if you don't laugh by this message i come at your home with my yellow vest and detroy everything :D :D :D
(in fact what's happening here is not funny. I'm really just ashamed to be French today :( ...)
@Christoph-Hart:
did you change something on the forum ?
Seems to be impossible to create new thread. -
@christoph-hart I know, I was kidding because I found funny the way he replied ;)
-
But he was right. i'm the master of misunderstanding. if you say "red" i understand "yellow" but i insist to shout you said "blue" :D :D :D
-
Seems to be impossible to create new thread.
No but another user also reported that. I tried creating a topic yesterday, it worked. You need to specify a category though and it might be possible that some CSS fucks up the appearance of that selector. I'll make a blank topic with my superpowers and you can ask your question there :)
-
confirmed.. creating new topics is not possible anymore for users, and there are also a few updates pending.. (youtube embed etc..). I'll update the forum tomorrow.
expect a bit downtime in the morning :) (UTC+1)
best,
