Question: This is probably basic, but how does a plugin communicate with a DAW? If a plugin sets a certain variable or calls a function, how does the DAW even know what's being reffered to? Does each variable and function get assigned a unique identifier that doesn't change?

It depends on the API, but in general it's sort of "DAW requests plug-in process some audio, plugin procesess it. DAW requests parameter set to XYZ. etc"
