It's even more nuanced than that. Steinberg tried to change the VST3 license agreement, which would have allowed them (theoretically) to stop those with existing VST2 licenses from developing new VST2 plug-ins (and hosts?) at an arbitrary time of their choosing. That was reversed out of the license agreement, but it would have potentially meant no new VST2 plug-ins and only updates to existing ones, so if you had a VST2 only host, your supply of plug-ins would dry up and - reading between the lines - a host developer would have to drop VST2 support on a new version of the host (although when that would apply...dunno). To give that control over your technology to a competitor...whoah!

It's not big on my non-ultrawide monitor! It's the one big downside I'd say.

How slow is slow? Mine boots in a consistent 9 seconds. It's just not worth worrying about that, so shutting down and letting things be clean on startup is a non-issue (it's a decent, but nowehere close to top end machine: Ryzen 2600@3.4GHz, 6/12 cores, 32GB, Samsung NVMe boot drive).

Indeed.

Apparently they've already tried then backtracked. But it would stop existing license holders not creating new plugins in VST2 format and (potentially - IANAL) not releasing updates to existing ones.

Except it may well affect others - new developers will have to use VST3 (they can't get licenses for VST2 any more) and potentially (see, I didn't use caps there) Steinberg can revoke VST2 licenses from those with a VST2 and VST3 at any time.

Yes - I have TH2, TH3 and THU all installed in parallel with no conflicts.

v2 or v3 angels?

It's also provably slower to read.

True story this... For several years, I worked with a young woman (mid-20s?) whose first name was Emma and who always signed her name in lower case in emails (everything else was properly capitalised). So we could legitimately call her...Lower Case Em.

Pining for the fjords, eh?

As luck would have it...Blue Cat Audio have just released a plug-in that allows you to game the DAW to achieve this). Note that I haven't tried it, but it is a use case in their manual. https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_Connector/

I succumbed (I love the Def Leppard clean chorus sound) and it is pretty authentic from my initial play with it.

You joke, but I'd actually like to be able to model my POD Pro (there's one amp/speaker combination I just can't seem to get with anything else).

Some of the Nomad plugins are very useful, but there are a LOT of EQs and compressors...

Doesn't turn itself back on here, and hasn't for 2 years since I installed Windows 10. But I think I may have killed it via Policy Editor.

I did change the bass guitar FX (the original was done in 32 bit SONAR with ReValver, which I don't have in 64 bit CbB, so I bit the bullet and changed the amp/cab/FX chain). With regards to the vocals, I think it could actually be quieter, or at least the rhythm guitar could be louder than it is now (so vocals seem quieter), so I think it's probably about right for the style ?

Agree entirely with @Mark MoreThan-Shaw

I took note of some of your comments and did a remix (actually quite a lot of a remix in the end): https://www.bandlab.com/xoospacemusic/state-of-emergency-2021-664e87bd?revId=8bc486cc-2873-ec11-94f6-a04a5e79a6b8

You wouldn't happen to be running a USB2 audio interface on a USB3 port, would you? If I do that (MOTU Ultralite/Ryzen/Windows 10), I get genuine wow and flutter on playback sometimes even with no obvious DPC latency or CPU issues - move it to a USB2 port and it's solid as a rock (famous last words!). Not identical, but not a million miles way from what you see.

+1 And/or allow just one lane to be zoomed at a time (ie. they don't all have to grow simultaneously).

I could remember that, the "Beast" and the "Slayers", and the cyclops dying. Everything else was a blur. Thankfully ?

Dunno - might be, although I don't know if ARA uses the application's DP settings.

There are (were?) a handful of plugins that are very unhappy when using DP.
