Fixed size buffer process is only the official supported way as it was in VST2 (although many hosts and plugins support variable sizes).
It's same in VST3, a bit different places. However their FAQ also states:
Code: Select all
Q: Can the sample block size change while the plug-in is processing?
No. When the host changed the processing block size, the plug-in is informed by the call of AudioEffect::setupProcessing. This call is always preceeded by a call of Component::setActive (false), and followed by a call of Component::setActive (true) So block size can change during runtime of a plug-in, but never during or between processing calls
I'm glad there's only one process now. No separate process and processReplacing. Some VST2.3/VST2.4 plugins just don't know what's the difference on those..
