It must be weird to carry that level of neurosis around all day. I mean, I'm worried about all kinds of things, all the time, but none of them are audio plug in formats.

Incidentally, there are *already* two vendors of PC modules. So this evil plan of locking people into one vendor really isn't going very well.

What is really funny is that a friend of mine still uses his PII based computer for music making with all kinds of VST's in it running on an a tracker program...and is still loving how it still works for him...

Here's a question........

If VST development stopped today, right now, who here wouldn't be able to cope and produce good music?



No didn't think the problem was that big.......

They surely aren't going to abandon PC....it appears to be greatly successful for them.   
  
 

Yes, we all know that cakewalk has a history of developing good ideas to their fullest potential...

[he said sarcastically]
 

In fairness, I suppose the question is more the other way around. Some people seem to be concerned about VST support in hosts going away. I have to say, this seems incredibly unlikely to me. In just the specific case of Sonar, a *huge* amount of the value proposition to the customer is in the bundled VSTs.

...not to mention that all the Pro Channel stuff IS actually Steinberg's VST technology that we pay extra for so that we can not use it in any other DAW that runs VSTs.

Me, for one...

No Vst effects and no VST instruments, then the idea of computer based recording is gone for me.

I would revert back to portastudio....I like physical faders and stuff.

I think you mis-understood me, I didn't mean the existing ones would be taken away, I meant no new ones produced.....

Wait a minute...

Did anyone say that there will be NO VST support ?

No...did not think so.
