Emagic And Apple Os X Options

[Levon River]

oh man, i'm not happy.
i usually like a large dollop of vst cream on my pie!

VST? That's not cream, that's cheese.

Put down that frying pan, I was juuuuust kidding.

Do you think there's actually a long future for VST, given the promise of the AudioUnits "standard" <HACK! KOFF! A-HEM!> (sorry, choked on a piece of that pie) looming in the always-bright and always-far-away future?

Of course "standard" is something most maverick software companies (but I repeat myself) see as a perfect synonym for "limitation," so who knows how this latest "standard" is going to play (pun intended).

Genuinely sorry that your VST investiture is performing (in OS X) like shares of Worldcom.

Frankly, I think this whole "transition" for musicians to OS X has been handled by Apple about as adroitly as a brain transplant using a backhoe.

i'd like the future of vst to be over within 24 hours.

although this could only be on the basis of my being in posession of a collection of "audiounits" plugins that i could consider, in some way, as "comprehensive", as i feel "i need", to "do my thing".
and i do have a fairly complete collection!

seriously, i do rely on the "experimental" nature of a lot of these plugs.
and there IS a very good selection of "high end" stuff. especially if you consider the uad1(i use one), and the powercore.

i hope you saw the email i received from destroy fx.
it lends a great deal of hope for a reasonably painless transition.

plus, we are of course, still not seeing any action (other than motu's x drivers) from motu/digi.

we're still talking ALL mac virtual instruments except logic's native efforts,
missing. unless you use cubase!
or 9.2.
in the meantime...
