jdd,
Sorry I wasn't that clear. When I first worte I was wondering if
Audacity handles VSTi's as opposed to just VST's. I don't want to record
using Audacity. I was wondering if Audacity could serve as a simple VSTi
host. From further reading I think it won't.
I'm currently using Pro Tools under Win XP on one machine and on
another I use Acid Pro under Win ME to host VSTi's. Acid accepts MIDI
input, for instance, and generates audio output using it's own Tempo
sync. I then fly the audio back to Pro Tools to record.
Since writing the first message here I Spent some time looking at
the Audacity-help archives. I think I won't even bother loading
Audacity. It appear the community is not very helpful. It looks like
fewer than 20% of the requests there get even a single response. I did
better here getting 3 responses than anyone has there in the month of
April! ;-)
Thanks for all the response, even Russell's! ;-)
Off to find a more simple VSTi platform for my system. Sorry, but
I'm just not up to loading a 4th version of Wine so that I can attempt
to do this under Linux. I currently have 3 Wine versions running. I wish
these Wine guys would converge, or the Linux VST Server project would
choose a release that these other major projects are using.
Cheers,
Mark
