Yeah as @d-healey says the audio pro industry is wide and DSP are everywhere from automotive the adaptive sound systems for venues and so on. I also think the plugin world will change in the future in the manner we are interacting with, and more AI/DSP research leads to the necessity of getting more and more specialised with tools that might not be simple to use for the "simple man". Of course the implementation of some tools is made easy sometimes, but then the top notch systems will always be ahead, broader, and more complex. And with complexity arises computation power and compatibility issues. I am happy to see many great tools arriving but afraid at the same time, not being able to catch up compared to specialised folks.
In fact if I agree the market will grow, it might be for more engineered DAWs and tools integrating tech that I can't compete with for myself (like DAWs doing almost everything in the box, very "intelligent" plugins, automatic mixing tools, and other funky sweeteners...) while I am still struggling with basic DSP theory like I'm stuck in the 90s...
But I might be off-topic lol

@Lindon Yes I recall debating this a few months ago in one of the HISE meetings. You're essentially right as it looks like the dynamic container is essentially doing this anyways on the backend, just dumping the data to JSON (and writeToStream which is a new one I am not familiar with).

Probably it boils down to preference, I like having as few UI components doing the heavy lifting with scripting.

What about this? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft-security-blog/trusted-signing-is-now-open-for-individual-developers-to-sign-up-in-public-previ/4273554

Some comments say it didn't work for them, but others say it did.

@d-healey you may wanna check this https://signpath.org/. I found it on a github comment, not sure if it works.

@Christoph-Hart Thank you for the nudge I was trying to find a good example to build from and this is giving me a better sense of the folder/file hierarchy relationship. I am still in the poke around the codebase and find out phase so will report back once I understand more.

Happy to make a pull request to add it to the official version of HISE as well if I get it working, but I know this is a pretty niche case so unless there is a demand for it I won't bother!

@HISEnberg Sure

Ah you found it first :)

@d-healey I imagine that works as well!

Alright this is probably the least frustrating way to set this up to share on the forum. I realize the effects won't be shared either unless they are in ScriptFX. So instructions for compiling:

Import Hise Snippet Save each individual ScriptFx network (6 in total) Export the networks to dll. Select "Replace script FX modules" so they are exchanged for hardcoded master Fx. Close and reopen HISE Uncomment the code.

@Lindon Ah that is an interesting suggestion. It seems to work exported to VST (as of now) so I will keep it that way. But if you have any suggestions for improvements let me know.

The reason I am approaching it this way is to make a minimal code version for others to use. It's sitll pretty intense for a novice developer but it's certainly much simpler than my last method. I am making a separate post for it which I will link here:

@HISEnberg Gnarrly 🔥

@d-healey Wonderful I'll see if I can rewrite with just the File (System) APIs in that case! Luckily for me these are "universal settings" so they should be applied cross each instance of the plugin.

@HISEnberg I couldn't make a better example snippet than @ustk has already done above. Maybe you can post your code and we can see if we can get it to work.

@HISEnberg Ok, I think it is cleaned up enough to pass along now. If you like we can do a video call or chat to talk about how to adapt it to your project. I'll send you some files in a message.

location dependent and 3+ years old company... That's discrimination... What are they waiting for to make a "except if you pay more" rule? 👊 🤣

@d-healey Ahh I see thank you David that does make a lot of sense!

@Christoph-Hart Thank you.

@HISEnberg
Thanks to you. I haven't found a solution yet either, but I'll post a comment here if I get any further.

@HISEnberg said in How to optimize Scriptnode Networks?:

How to measure the latency introduced by my Scriptnode network? I imagine driving an impulse through the plugin and recording the output should reveal this (for a DAW specific context). Is this something Plugin Doctor can measure, or does someone have a better methodology?

You can do a Null test in your DAW for this.

One channel will be the dry (unprocessed) signal. The other channel will be the processed signal, that is, the channel where the plugin is.

Make one channel phase invert. If these two channels are identical, the overall result will be silence. Since there is a delay at the sample level in the channel where the plugin is, determine the amount of sample delay required until the result of the combination of these two channels is silence with a sample delay in the dry channel.

The amount of delay you will apply to silence the sound in the dry channel is the amount of delay created by your plugin's DSP.

How to compensate for latency introduced by the Scriptnode network? I see in the API Engine.setLatencySamples, but it is unclear to me what it does. Are we meant to measure the latency of the scriptnode network (for example 32 samples) and this function will broadcast to the host the latency introduced by the plugin (i.e. "this plugin introduces 32 samples of latency, so compensate for that")? What does the host actually do with this information?

If your plugin has a delay of 32 samples, the DAW will play your plugin 32 samples ahead, thus compensating for the delay. Therefore, it is necessary to inform the DAW of this delay value with Engine.setLatencySamples.

@d-healey Ah that's good to know, and makes perfect sense.
