Aux sends to effects inside Cantabile Lite

I’m just starting with Cantabile Lite and I was trying to put together an electric guitar rig with multiple amplifiers and multiple effects on aux sends. When I wired it all using the normal wires it is an unsightly mess of wires that is hard to follow and even harder to balance out. I went looking for a VST mixer with aux sends and came up empty. So I decided to give vibe coding a shot. I saw videos about it, but I never wrote or published any code other than super basic Lua script. Claude walked me through the installation of CMake, Visual Studio and JUCE and gave me 4 files to compile. It took a few tries and fixing some errors but I have a custom 8x8 VST mixer that works like a physical digital mixer I’m used to using. It actually works and passes audio as expected. You wire the inputs and outputs and select one output at a time and dial in a mix for that output. Intuitive for an old guy like me. I have to say I’m blown away by how good Claude was at following my direction and working with me through solving errors and then making little revisions to the project.

Nice work.

It’s awesome and scary how good Claude is an projects like this.

Well done!

I have an interest in creating something similar to what you have here (I have previously created a Cantabile mixer rack). I don’t want to clutter my computer with IDEs and compilers, which has been the main stumbling block until now, but I’m hoping to get around this with online options.

Now I’m inspired to give it another try! :+1:
