Organization of Audio Units
Posted: Sun May 06, 2012 1:43 pm
I have noticed that, at least for me, Digital Performer sometimes organizes loaded Audio Units much differntly than other sequencers. The two I am using for comparison are DP7 and Ableton Live 6. Let me explain:
For instance, the TAL freeware AU VI's. Digital performer will put some outside the TAL sub-directory , whereas Ableton will put them all inside the same sub-directory. I am aware that Digital Performer and Ableton both are reading information contained inside of the Audio Unit metadata.
So I guess this give me a few questions, that someone who is deeply invested in DP might know the answer. First of all, why would these two sequencers interpret the meta info differently? Is there a way I can open, an dlook inside the audio units to possibly see, or even edit the information so they respond the same? (Maybe DP is using case sensitivity, and the other isnt? - wild guess here)
I am happy to include screenshots for those who believe that would help. What I am looking for, though - is a deeper understanding of just exactly how Audio Units embed info and are detected by a DAW.
Even if you don't know the answer- pointing me in the direction of, even a fairly technical resource is awesome.
Share what you know about how Audio Units really work and integrate into the DAW!
thank you friends!
