@JulesV This is something I’m also looking for; it has been asked about on the forum a few times before.

@David-Healey I’ve also tested local models for audio plugin coding; right now, they don’t even come close to frontier models.

That doesn’t mean they’re entirely useless, though—they can still be quite effective for lighter tasks. They aren’t suitable for our specific line of work, at least for the time being. However, if they advance enough in the future, that could change significantly.

Furthermore, there are no local models currently on par with frontier models; and for frontier models to function as fully capable, end-to-end problem solvers, they require terabytes of RAM and GPU memory—far beyond the capacity of a standard computer.

There is also another fact that, NVIDIA is practically on the verge of dropping gamers from its customer base, as AI companies are purchasing GPUs on a much larger, more profitable scale. This suggests that, in the future, users like us might find it increasingly difficult to get our hands on custom-built PCs, as the prices for hardware—especially RAM—are trending toward extreme increases.

@dannytaurus Frankly, it is clear that the companies behind frontier AI models—such as Claude or ChatGPT—are currently operating at a loss, despite investing billions of dollars and even striking deals to purchase energy from nuclear power plants.

If they are incurring such losses even with $100 subscription tiers, I believe it will be impossible to access AI at these price points in the future. It may not happen immediately, but eventually, AI will no longer be easily accessible; the current state of affairs is simply a strategy to get everyone accustomed to using it.

When that moment arrives—when the AI ​​"tap" is turned off—the true value of skilled coders will become apparent, and HISE will stand out as an essential piece of software that must always remain available. Yes HISE is pain in the ass for beginners, that’s for sure. But this forum is also supportive for beginners, that’s for sure too.

For this reason, I believe it is far too early to draw any definitive conclusions

@dannytaurus said in Where's Christoph?:

Whatever happens with HISE now might be too little, too late.

Why?

@David-Healey I think almost everyone is using AI these days. How do I figure that? Well, previously, people would come to this forum with questions about basic functions or "how-to" queries—but those don't appear anymore! :)

@Mors If you used the current NAM training method (Tone3000, A2), it should work in Hise as well. Is your profile A1 architecture?
Yes training is under 48k but nam engine plays the model at 44.1k as well. Normally you shouldn’t do this.

I’m not using the current commit, but it does have NAM integration.

@Mors why are you using repitch for a nam profile?

@Lindon Thank you for this detailed answer.

I believe that when creating an installer—especially on macOS—issues arise regarding privileges when attempting to install files into system plugin folders. To overcome this, a helper application could be embedded within the main app to obtain the necessary privileges. As far as I know, there are no such issues on Windows.

I think I’ve seen a few users (maybe @Lindon @ustk @orange) try this before; I’d really like to know what the risks are or what needs to be done.

Has anyone created an HISE-made installer that installs VST3, AU, and AAX files into system folders?

How do you handle the permissions when doing this on macOS?

@ulrik I will try when I go to studio, thanks. Claude? Is it useful?

@ulrik It works great! Thank you so much!

@David-Healey Thank you for your help!

@David-Healey That's for custom user IR samples

@David-Healey said in Custom IR Samples within the combo box:

@resonant Doesn't the code I put above do that?

No, it selects the folder only. What I need is:

1. Select IR Sample (not folder)
2. Then list the files in the IR Sample folder and also the files in the subfolders

@David-Healey Listing the files in the same folder and also the files in the subfolders, like the image I posted above.

@David-Healey said in Custom IR Samples within the combo box:

@resonant said in Custom IR Samples within the combo box:

Can the folder containing the selected IR file—along with its subfolders—be loaded into the combo box

It did this in my post above

It was selecting the whole folder. What about the IR selecting sample then sorting all samples in the dedicated folder and also subfolders?

@ulrik Works great thanks!

One last thing, Can the folder containing the selected IR file—along with its subfolders—be loaded into the combo box and saved within the project?

@ulrik Thank you so much!
There is an error, There is no any function called loadUserIR. Or am I missing something?

@David-Healey said in Custom IR Samples within the combo box:

@resonant there is definitely way, I just didn't have the brain power to work it out last night

haha you did well because of these suggestions. So can you help for this?
