Subject:RE: Attn Peter Reply by: pwppch Date:8/2/2002 9:06:19 AM Why is it odd? They have a common name, but perform two very different functions.

Subject:RE: Attn Peter Reply by: stakeoutstudios Date:8/4/2002 1:52:13 PM gotta say, I bought a VST -> DX wrapper just for a couple of plugins which I think are neat, and it works perfectly! I understand why Sonic Foundry wouldn't waste development time when someone else has already done it! :o) Jason
Subject:RE: Attn Peter Reply by: gbat Date:8/4/2002 4:40:32 PM webpuppy, May I ask you which wrapper ya got? I've heard they are flaky but maybe they have been improved. I have been limitimg my vst plug use to N-Tracks, which allows both vst and dx but I have a few vst's I would like to use with acid. Thanks.
Subject:RE: Attn Peter Reply by: Spirit Date:8/4/2002 6:57:44 PM There are lots of good DX effects around. Have a look here: http://www.thedirectxfiles.com/plugins.htm I just wish SoFo would update their effects to give a BPM rate with their delays. An auto tenmpo sync would be even better.

Why is it odd?

They have a common name, but perform two very different functions. The connection of VSTis to the "engine" is VERY different than how VST Fx would be connected. Two completely different parts of the product.

The DX wrappers for VST fx work very well.

I just don't understand the huge debate over this...

webpuppy,
