Just curious if there are plans to port this plug-in to VST? if not - why?
thanks

Hi @llimbocker,
As we’ve announced on AES convention,
Auto-Align Post will be released as ARA2 plug-in in VST3 / Audio-Unit.

Expected / current ARA2 hosts are:

Studio One 4.x or greater.
Logic X 10.4.2 or greater.
Reaper announced upcoming ARA2 support
Steinberg announced Cubase 10 or greater will support ARA2 in future versions.

If your host doesn’t support or expected to support ARA2, it might be worth contacting them

Great news – I’m running latest Nuendo (currently 8.3) you say “ARA2 plug-in in VST3” - Should I understand that as meaning - Auto-Align Post will run as a VST3 - or inside a VST3 shell? or are you suggesting it won’t work with Nuendo until it supports ARA2 - and runs it natively? Thank you for helping me understand – and the obvious question - when? (approx- won’t hold you to it - kinda ‘when’)

ARA is an extension for “standard” plug-ins.
no shells or any complications.

Auto-Align Post is expected to require ARA2 support from the host.
So once host supports ARA2, Auto-Align Post is expected to work pretty straight-forward with it.

With Nuendo 10 officially announcing ARA2 Support in the upcoming maintainance update, in what timeframe can we expect a VST Version of AAP? I’m greatly looking forward to it!
