Hello.

- I am primarily a Digi 002 / Pro Tools LE user, and therefore most of my plugins are RTAS.
However, I also own a few virtual instruments etc. which are Audio-Unit only (no RTAS exists or is planned). Unfortunately I either have to use them as standalone (or via 'RAX') or (ahem), in "Garageband", occasionally, just to try them out.
Since I don't want to have a second sequencer/editor (like, er, Logic Express) just to use my Audio Units, I was wondering if it is possible to use Audio Units directly within Protools?
I know there is a wrapper for VST to RTAS, but as far as I know there is nothing for AU to RTAS?

Also,

- Does anyone know if Digidesign is planning to develop their LE software (with more focus on the end-user?).
For example, I can't remember if they officially responded to the numerous requests to allow registered users to run PTLE in 'standalone' mode (albeit with an iLok authorisation) when not connected to the Digi 002 or other interface? I really miss this feature from other sequencers / editors. I would really like to edit my audio/midi 'offline' when actually building up a session. I only use the mixing console later on, but I find I always have to be connected.
- Are they likely to support other plug-in formats (like AU) in the future?
In my opinion, they run the risk of dropping behind the other so-called competitors by not listening to users..
Yes, I am an avid (excuse the pun) user of Digidesign products, but the LE version (which is aimed mainly at the home user or hobbyist should be more than just a cut-down feature-set of the already existing Pro system. It should implement the end-users suggestions etc. sad.gif
