Question: Few years ago, a known company released an audio monitoring plugin that people were excited about, I too was. However, it's smallest size was still too big for me. Though a novice in jsfx coding, I decided to create same plugin in jsfx with the assistance of AI. I made it. The jsfx plugin doesn't have a fancier gui but it gave same results as all other vst plugins that does the same thing. Is it really that easy to code plugins in vst format, or jsfx is quite more easy because I made it in less than 3 mins?

    nice! JSFX is easier/faster but writing VSTs is relatively straightforward too, just a lot more boilerplate/busywork/etc and then a slower compile/test process.

    I see. Jsfx is great then. Pls what about Clap compared to vst?

    Pretty similar, though CLAP has less C++ crud, and more cleanly defined interfaces, which I appreciate.
