So I went through and tried a bunch of plugs that had never before seen ProTools on my system to see if I'd have any new 'staple' effects and instruments in the arsenal. But as I said, there are a lot of bad VST plugs out there (and on my computer) so unless you're completely computer illiterate (why are you working on a DAW?) I wouldn't suggest it. They give you the option of automatically wrapping everything so no work is required at all. Then you manually choose which plugs you want to be 'wrapped' and appear in your RTAS list in ProTools. Once it identifies them, it give you info such as manufacturer, type (effect, midi-enabled effect, or instrument), I/O, and location. It was easy to figure out how to set it up, simply start the program, indicate which folders your VST plugs are in, and have it search them to populate a master list of available plugs. Then I read the manual to make sure I was setting it up correctly (imagine that, RTFM!) as I have nearly 500 VST plugins and instruments, not all of which are good or even worth having in PT's list of plugs. So I bought it from the FXpansion website and was able to immediately download and install it without a hitch. And am I glad I did! This thing is fantastic! But then I just got the urge to have about a million new plugins and VST instruments to play with so I gave it a couple of hours' thought and finally decided to go for it. Enough that I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger and spend the c-note to buy this "do nothing" program. ![]() I've been hearing about it for the longest time and heard mixed things about it's functionality and stability. This plugin/program/wrapper has been around for quite some time but has recently been updated to v2.0 to work with VST v2.3 and ProTools 7 (MP, LE, and HD). ![]() It's the very popular FXpansion VST to RTAS Adapter. Ok, so it does something, just not the usual something (process audio) that other audio programs do. Sorry it's been so long since my last review, but things have been crazy and I've been out of town.Īnyway, I'd like to talk about a piece of software that doesn't do anything.
