I love X so much these days, 9.2 already seems ancient.
 CoreAudio and CoreMidi seem to have genuinely provided an inspiring future for developers, Emagic, Steinberg, in fact, apparently every developer on our wish list!  I've heard recently that CoreAudio has a native plugin framework that seiously out-runs ASIO or any of the 3rd party stuff by Digi, Motu etc.  AudioUnits: a direct replacement, with 1ms latency reported, already implemented by Emagic, 100% cocoa, a potential industry standard in the making!  i've already backed up my 4.8.1 logic folder to CD, DVD, AND firewire drive 'cos i just know that VST etc are ultimately doomed.  this experience, although slow, will be the equivalent of completely replacing a studio and it's equipment in order to stay current.  of course there are carbon versions of a lot of the best plugins around but this is more a question of support from OS & developers for VST etc!

If Apple reach the goal (making a new standart), and they may be abble to do it, this would certainly help to get an amazing plug-in choice, because when a developper will release a plug-in he wont have to choose if the plug will be VST, MAS, Premiere, TDM, RTAS, AS, Logic.
He will just have to concentrate about the plug-in, not the commercial-marketing stupid issues... Also, this will also let independant developpers to faslty get the Developpement kit, and to release excellent freeware or shareware... Did you ever see a freeware TDM or RTAS plug-in? For example Polyfractus/Dragan, who makes amazing plug-ins on the VST platform, would be more than happy to release it under TDM environnment, but he never succeed to get the needed Developpement kit from Digi.... A new standart would solve all theses things.. But will digi/steinberg/motu follow it, or will they continue to promote their formats? Time will tell! -------------------- Soif, MacMusic Webmaster
