Identify DAW (check if FL Studio, etc.)

[Jay]

yeah it did that on windows 7 firewall for me too! didn't trigger my hardware firewall on my router or commodo software firewall! its something im working on atm! once you ok it, it wont bother you again, i think its just the tcp connection that does it!

there is nothing really to this, all it is doing is running a little app i made in another dev software that runs a series of if then else queries on whether any of the preset Daw software's are running on the machine, the true result and info for the corresponding daw is passed to a network client and sent to the flowstone vst/exe the things you do when you have no coding skillz eh

its not the best solution by far and would prolly give more seasoned developers a good laugh but hey ho!

Don't think that way. You had a problem, made a practical solution and now are so kind to share it! It's one step further than we were before. Maybe this idea will get another one to think of how he/she could integrate this concept via ruby and dll. Or somebody finds another approach. So whatever you might think,it does not give a good laugh, it's evolution step 1 in solving an issue.

Hi thanks for those words of support tulamide!

I will defo keep at this and hopefully it will be of use until someone with the skills can do something better!

gonna look at other ways of getting the info into FS over the weekend! im wondering if it could be done with mime streams, midi or something other than network connections or a txt file

can FS read items stored in a variable created in other win applications?

best regards

thx Jay, looks promising.

that runs a series of if then else queries on whether any of the preset Daw software's are running on the machine,

how are you doing this, i mean where are asking and comparing? maybe it would be possible to integrate this into ruby or dll, so that the vst itself could do this instead of another programm which sends the results to some vsts..

Having access to more VST functions would help a lot. Hopefully next updates.

Soz Nubeet7 ive not been active here for a bit, to busy setting up a charity org,

it was made in neobook and its just doing an is app running check on a list of known daw exe's until it gets a yes returned to it, then it outputs that daws name from an array of names, it works if only one daw is running though and its not actually aware of what its running in, kinda daft way of doing it but heyho

i will try and get it finished soon
