We'll see....
The biggest drag is having to add yet another platform to list. Third party
developers have no choice but to support OXS VST, because Cubase SX will
definitely have it and it runs ONLY on OSX.
So in the name of making these simpler and easier, they actually got more
complex, confusing and difficult for developers and users alike. What is the
real benefit to all of this anyway?
Wrappers are a solution that many users don't like. We hope the development
of the Audio Units will be as easy as Markus claims, but even if it is, it is
yet another platform to deal with when we are already committed to keeping
track of RTAS, VST Mac/PC, MAS and DXi.......alphabet soup!
