vst2 vs vst3

[dani]

hey everyone,

almost at a point where i can beta test some plugins, but i'm starting to worry about this now - who here has a vst3 capable host?

steinberg no longer support vst2, they aren't making their SDK available for it anymore (although i'm sure i still have it somewhere). i assumed this meant that all the hosts support vst3. having just tried reaper, it would appear i was wrong - and they have no plans to support it either.

this puts me in a bit of a bind now, as i may have to port this back to the earlier SDK.

so, let me know how important vst2/3 is to you all

reaper supports vst3 just fine for me (i only have the latest slate stuff available in vst3)

Has steinberg only canceled the SDK of vst2 or can't cubase 7 load vst2 plugins anymore too? I loved the fact that i can sort vst2 plugins in folders on my HDD as i like it and have the same structure in the host. I only used vst3 in cubase for a few compressors because of side chaining. I made the switch to reaper for some time and was a bit pissed by not supporting vst3. But because of the awesome routing capability i don't miss vst3 at the moment. So regarding reaper vst2 is very important to me =D

sure it is the vst3 version? reaper doesn't show my vst3 plugins in the list. but since i installed reaper i didn't tried it again.

Same for me..

Same for me..

My bad... i just checked my plugin folder again, i thought i had only installed the vst3 version of the virtual bus compressors but there were vst2 versions too, so... seems like vst3 is not supported by reaper.

 

[Red Phoenix]

too bad..That's what I figured. I guess they only add support when vst2 is totally replaced and everyone is developing vst3 only..

There is a VST2 folder inside the VST3 SDK

I'm still using a few vst 2 plugins in Cubase 7.5

So they must not be supporting the development of VST 2 anymore?
