Some plugins provide custom quality controls, and I have no automatic way to ensure that the quality is 100% when I render except to set them all manually. If I knew that realtime was always xx% quality but mixdowns were 100%, I would be happy. > - or finally a very exciting point for developpment strategy : "ho my god > you are not using the good host for our plug-in series, you can reach the > best quality only with our digicorp host audio software by setting the knob > on the magic number : 11.132645, thanks for using our product... " Again, already. "Oh, you need to use FooHost to get the best use of that plugin". Nothing stops a host and a plugin from having a handshake that is a secret way to enable a feature. This is no different. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
