Audio is often processed on a separate thread than the UI. If memory serves (been a while) there's the UI portion and the audio engine portion of most VSTs, which can be booted together or independently. So threading is very important.
- unwind 1y agoYeah, I realized that once I finished writing my comment, that it might be about communicating with the UI since UI toolkits are usually not thread-safe enough. Thanks.
