Nil Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 "In 2013, Steinberg stated that it would no longer maintain the software developer’s kit (SDK) for the VST2 plug-in format, but the SDK would still be available as a subset of the VST3 SDK. Then in May 2018, Steinberg announced that starting in October, the subset will be eliminated." https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/vst-2-4-vs-vst-3-0-who-cares-you-do/ (not the most recent article but quite thorough) FWIW, I've switched to VST3 a while ago and haven't looked back. I've used them with Live 10/11, Reaper 5/6 and Architect on both OSX and Win10. Not a single issue in sight. I want my sessions to be futureproof. Note that Setinberg no longer delivers licence agreement for VST2 to new developers. Now, I'm very curious to see if this new format will take off https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=574861 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Nil's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/102123-vst-2-vs-vst-3/#findComment-2901533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
user Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'll be laughing when everyone's dumped their VST2 plugins for VST3. You can hear the difference on any good pair of professional monitors. VST2 has warmth, depth and presence. VST3 is cold and lifeless.
