Wait...so is it correct to say that there is no evidence at all that new versions of Waves and UAD plugins will be VST3 only?

Yes, that is correct.  Waves Support has denied it as well.

Yes, there is no such statements for now...

Ah, OK, thanks. 


Carry on then.

I thought the original premise of this thread was that VST3 will not be in X2, not that it will *never* be implemented.  And for X2, if VST3 is not yet *the* standard but instead it's still VST2.4, then SONAR X2 will support the current standard.    But as others mentioned, I do hope that SONAR will not be behind the ball if and when VST3 becomes the de facto standard for most plugin companies.    
 

  Brandon has said that as and when it becomes necessary to incorporate it into Sonar, then they'll do just that, but it's not a priority right now.

I've been waiting for Antares to go 64 bit with EVO and AT7 'their flagships'. Still no 64 for those, but their newly released Auto-tune live is ONLY VST3 (64 bit) which leads me to believe that when my longtime wait for 64 bit from Antares, it will most likely be VST3 ONLY as well. Digital Performer 8 for PC will have VST support, I'm wondering if IT will support VST3. Noel says they have a close relationship with 3rd party plug-in vendors and boasts all the VST 2.4 abilities, all the while, the LAST X1 update 'D' left X1 UNABLE to Clipbounce/Fastbounce Timecode/tempo based plugins... eg. Antares, Melodyne, waves , gtr rig, TEMPO sync plugs only get the First tempo in the tempo list when fastbouncing... Really crippled the workflow. X1 was left half broken in terms of rendering plugins. Not to mention little MAJOR bugs of Midi Fx (deleting clips with Midi fx = FATAL crash, just dragging Midi Fx (not drag copy) = fatal crash. Couldn't get a confirm on whether this is fixed in X2 or not. Multi lane Nudge bug... Sorry to ramble/repeat, I'm a passionate professional with concerns over the direction of my host DAW. Been Married to Sonar for over 10 years now and hate to split up. The forum is such a nice family and support group and is a major reason Cake has held on to the share that it has held on to. Without Company support the Bakers have no support, without Baker support, customer support has no support to offer... my favorite was 'For now, use 8.5.3 to do all of your Tuning/Timing adjustments', and 'stay tuned, an update is in the works'.... followed by 6 MOS of SILENCE, no Updates! Then it's, 'Buy X2 now'. And now to see the Lack of support of ALL of the features by my high dollar plugins continue on into X2 is disheartening. Quantizing audio didn't even work in X1 until the 'C' patch. I yeild my time to a friendly speaker. Nevermind, I think I used it up already. :)

Question for Cakewalk: Timeframe on VST3 support? This year? Early next year? A year from now? Which one of these best describes your situation? I'm trying to decide which direction to go, thanks.

For now you dont need VST3 support as all major companies making both VST2/VST3. So calm down.

I find it rediculous that members will constantly come into a thread to tell other members that they do not need function X...whatever it is.

Lets be honest folks ...if we were all that smart, we would be paying someone else to do this work...until then, grant all members the right to state what they want and need... ie..exactly as you would wish to be treated. 

I'll be the judge of what I need and don't need. Antares who is now starting to make 64 bit plugs are ONLY making VST3 of their newest plugs. The VST2 versions of the same plugins DON'T utilize ALL of the features provided by the plugin manufacturers. (Waves- Vocal Rider just to name 1) Maybe you should read some of the thread first. If you don't need it, great for you and your complacency. You probably would say I don't need 1,000,000 string samples either but I'm sending Vienna my $825 for their early bird special on Dimension Strings. Over 1,000,000 samples for the full section due out next year. I use VEP5/MIR and would benifit greatly with the VST3 version. (audio inputs without using Event inputs workaround, more than 16 midi channels per instance. MIR24 the small version is 24 channels. I'm trying to see if a crossgrade is in order or if Cakewalk can come through after all. In planning, I'd just like to get a timeframe.
