Well… my initial thoughts when first stumbling upon this was that it seems to be a commercial project. I kinda got the impression that you’re trying to set a new “standard” by providing a framework with a dubious licensing model.
I don’t have anything against commercial software, but when it comes to low level stuff, libraries, frameworks, I would strongly advise against touching anything that doesn’t have a liberal license and open source.
Correct me if I got it all wrong.
Hi Joule,
I really appreciate your honesty there! It’s the result of 15 years work up until now. This release is completely free to download and use and always wil be. I’m not sure of the plan to expand but I do appreciate your thoughts.
Chris
I was guessing that the strategy is to eventually license it to other DAW:s or plugin makers, that will implement it not to fall behind? That cost will eventually fall on the consumer. At the end, monopolism is bad.
On the other hand, I do hope that you succeed technically if possible, so that people will get motivated to create a free alternative 
What if we would include our Renoise based IR in that?
Thanks, I have to say the potential for this is pretty staggering. It has implications for networked music sessions, ultra low latency and cloud processing.
I appreciate your honest feedback!
Ey,
I’ve updated to the latets nvidia drivers and just tried the latest version of the plugin, but still get the following error message when trying to install;
I don’t have time for joining any discord server, please forward to the devs if possible. I’ll try again when a new version comes out.
Did you install the game ready or the studio driver?
Don’t know exactly; at first the plugin installer wouldn’t get past a notice saying I needed to update the nvidia drivers. After I did so, I don’t get the particular notice anymore and can install further until the very end where I get the above error. I just read on the kvr forum the minimum needed specs are a 10XX graphics card anyway so my setup fails from the start . Will try whenever I upgrade my graphics card.
Okay, thanks I will pass it on and look into it
I get 30% more on my cpu when loading 1 instance of Gpu audio convolution. But noting in Cubase 12 or Reaper!
What it would be!
30% when using Renoise??
Yes 30% with Renoise 3.4.2
It’s on a Laptop.
Windows 10 - 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz - RAM 32gb - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Whatever happened with gpu powered plugins? I have a new computer + gpu card and would like to test it with convolution beta plugin, but it seems to be removed from the site. Nothing free to try out using this tech?
They were able to sell a license to some plugin company and apparently decided to change their strategy, since they began to write much less in the public sphere.
