Hello @crummwoody ,
For more specific details on our stance regarding AU/VST plugins in Roon, I will direct you to a statement made by our CTO in an earlier feature request thread on this topic:
VST/AU have a very annoying technical limitation:
Both plugin architectures allow plugins to provide user interfaces for configuration, and apps that support plugins generically must display these interfaces. The way that the VST/AU folks chose to do this requires that the user interface be displayed in the same process where the plugin is loaded.
This is a big problem for Roon, since for many users, the server and the UI are running in different processes (RoonServer vs Roon) or different mac…
