I think this would only be true if the plugin were limited in how it can sync with the host. Giving Augustus Loop '1st loop capability' was a piece of cake, but it doesn't do any syncing yet. It would also make a difference whether the software was disk-based or RAM-based (easier if RAM-based). Ableton Live always used to be disk-based but as I recall they put in an option for RAM-based clips in version 3. But I don't know if it's possible to record into RAM, or whether you can only buffer a clip from disk into RAM. > I know that one salient feature of VST plugins is that they are so > easy to > bootleg (unlike full programs which are easier to protect). > Consequently a lot of top developers are afraid to design something > that > they have a slim chance of making money for their hard work. I'm not quite sure if this is true. It's all just software - I don't see why a plug-in should be easier to rip than a standalone application. cheers, os. os@collective.co.uk http://www.collective.co.uk/
