I've been reading this week's traffic and thought I should chime in before I got fired. <g> I should have put the next topic forward before taking my vacation this week. Sorry for slowing down the discussion by being a bottleneck. There's really no reason why somebody else can't advance the "topic counter" and start the next thread. Really all I've been doing is summarizing the end of the previous thread, and then pulling the text for the next question from the agenda. Regarding the slow pace of discussion, there is a method to the madness. I've deliberately tried to really let traffic die down before going to the next topic, just to make sure everyone gets their voice heard. Yes, this slows things down somewhat. But at least we avoid having multiple overlapping discussions that are difficult to track and summarize. Regarding Audio Units: I think it would be great if an existing accepted plugin standard were turned over to the MMA, in lieu of defining GMPI from scratch. A standard that gets taken under the wing of the MMA can always be versioned, extended and maintained as needed. I suspect there may be legal complications, intellectual property, etc., to be reckoned with under such an arrangement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
