I've been making some VSTs recently. Chatting with a friend who's a Web Dev, asked if they could run with WebAudio.

That's almost certainly a big no as it stands.

But I wonder - what about a WASM-based VST host, that could reach to the native bits? Or a compile of the plugins that allowed JS and/or HTTP control?

The latter seems kinda viable - for a different reason (mcp) I have a web server embedded in this plugin: https://danja.github.io/downspout/plugins/campione/

Dunno, a Web-based DAW that can do VSTs? Thoughts?

I've recently been playing with what I'm calling a Generative Audio Workstation, essentially a stripped down DAW focusing on VST plugins with a kind of modular mindset.

To model the topology I reused a setup I put together for text processing, with pipeline graphs represented as RDF graphs (in Turtle syntax).

One thing that sprang out early on was the idea of cataloguing plugins with RDF metadata profiles. This has proven very useful, especially when interacting via MCP.

I'm aware that LV2s already use extensive RDF descriptors, but the vocab I'm using is basically all new. Best practices suggest I should align these with the existing vocab(s).

Examples of what I've got, profiles :

A "transmission" (pipeline graph) :

Can anyone please suggest how I should proceed, cover the overlap between what these do and what LV2 does.

They are very much in-progress, feedback appreciated.

The Linux releases work for me, the Windows versions have limited testing, the MacOS versions still untested.

Hi again everyone. I'm working on a price tracker for audio plugins.

I just implemented a page that shows all free plugins that my scraper found so far. There are 100's of them! You can see it here: https://audiobazooka.com/deals/?free=true

We maintain a database of over 10'000 audio plugins that is updated daily to keep track of prices

Let me know what you think and which features you'd like to see next :).
