There are several good books out there on apple script as well as great websites you can learn form. I suggest reading up on it a bit more to fully understand its grasp and what you may or may not be able to do with it. Most Mac centric programs do have built in apple script hooks so its easier to write a script to do certain things. However this isn’t found in most cross platform apps so it may be a bit harder to control them with apple script. There is a way to check to see if an app is apple script friendly or not and the aforementioned reading i suggested can help you figure that part out. As for plug in’s writing plug ins is not an easy task and can’t be done in apple script. Well perhaps something simple and probably only in AU format.If you don’t mind learning python (another scripting language) reaper and it’s JS effects are probably a simple enough place to start and has plenty of code to examine.
Most AAX plug ins that are free that i encountered l lately did require a iLok, Not sure if this is a recent change but i can’t think of any i heard of in the new AAX 64 bit format that are free and doesn’t require an iLok. > On Feb 19, 2015, at 2:17 PM, Michael Taboada <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > I don't know about the applescript question, but it looks like aax plugins > don't have to cost anything, and if they don't cost anything there is no > reason to license them with an iLock.
