no ability to disable the gui jack at build time #166

Open prometheanfire opened 6 years ago

prometheanfire commented 6 years ago

It looks like you are determining the presence of these libraries at build time, without letting the user override it. This is bad as documented at our QA site, along with ways of testing it.

Those are the only two I can see, though.

LV2 plugins are meaningless without GUI, because parameters can only be set through GUI.

falkTX commented 6 years ago

That last comment is just not true at all. (are all ladspas useless?) unless you mean JACK standalones are useless without GUI...?

yurivict commented 6 years ago

If application has no GUI at all, how can for ex. equalizer parameters be set then?

There are hosts offering generic UIs.

yurivict commented 6 years ago

There's not much point in omitting the nice specialized GUI and then using some generic GUI that is more than likely not as convenient.

Please see the first screenshot in this article which is a demo for remote controlling Calf plugins run in Carla via AES70 (OCA) protocol translated into OSC with a specialized JavaScript/AWML frontend running in a mobile browser.
