Having VSTis means access to such greats as BATTERY, REAKTOR, HALION, PRO52, PPG WALDORF WAVE etc etc.Cakewalk have decided to NOT go with VST protocol support built in-programme as have Logic Orion IQS etc.
All those great plugins instruments, but ONLY if they change their platform host programme. Many users DONT want to switch from say Soundforge to Wavelab, or from CakewalkSonar to Cubase just to run a few cool plugs they have seen. Cakewalk Vst Adapter Cool Edit Pro Software And HowI was sent this over whilst reviewing Cakewalks new SONAR - one such host application that cannot use VST-Fx or VSTis - Id tried the freeware Spin-Audio wrapper which worked to a certain extent, but i was not prepeared for this FXpansion software and how well it would work. This sw really is a must have for any user of DX compatible sw host application; wether DX plugin FX or DXi (only SONAR right now I think uses DXi) - it is efficient, has some really nifty touches features beyond the actual function it performs, and does EXACTLY what it says on the tin. It allows all or most of the available VST-Fx VST-Instruments to run in DX based host applications. Youll also see three checkboxes there: Force Rescan is self explnatory; itll re-scan previously failed attempts to convert VST plugs. The Subdevide menu for CPA9 etc is great - tick that, and all your converted VST-fx plugins are neatly stacked into sub-menus when you go to assign them in SONAR or Cakewalk Pro Audio - in other words when you open the list you dont end up with a huge slow scrolling column of mebbe a hundred vst fx plugin titles. In practice I found that after a while I easily remembered which plugin VST-Fx were in which sub-menu and could select them REALLY fast. It also saves screen clutter great - This is a really cool feature that frankly, Cubase themselves Logic could do with adding. Ticking this simply means your VST converted plugs wont show VST in front of each title when they show in the listings for selection back in the actual host sequencer. As you can see, it handily rejects any VST FX plugs that must use a VST5 host, so you dont get wasted time opening them only to see an error message back in the host sequencer. You see there is 3 columns - The actual plugin name, the MENU DXi columns also. Here we see the VSTis all available when you choose DXInstruments menu in SONAR. I have loaded the SC DEVELOP 101 (one of my favourite VSTis), and I am perfectly able to load all my sounds i previously created in VST - Just click on the TOOLS button and save or load. It doesnt make a sound, it doesnt have bells whistles, but for the outlay when you consider all the great free VST-fx out there and the excellent low-cpu stress FREE VST-Instruments available, youd be a fool NOT to get this applet imo - Works with Acid, Vegas, Sound Forge, and Cool Edit Pro as well as Cakewalk Pro-Audio SONAR. Apparently it is Now available in three versions - Lite, Standard Edition and Sound Designers Edition - to cater for every requirement.
