To those people that complain about no VST compatibility. Your missing the point of the whole Props ideology and it would be an utter disaster if they added in VST support imho.

I very much like the fact they don't implement it. As the years go on I find that style more and more attractive. A few years ago Daws internal plugins weren't up to much but they have come a long way since then. Im beginning to make a concious effort to drop third party and it is working. I definitely dont need them as much as I thought I did.

When I had an anlog set up I didnt have 20 different types of EQs, 10 different verbs and delays. I had on one EQ for every channel on my mixer (eq) and a few bits for outboard FX. I got to know the sound I made in side out whcih took me years to cultivate. I knew in my head what type of sound i would get before EQ and adding FX. I could see the future

I do miss that actually.

Im not advocating lets go back in time, I just see props angle here as an area really worth developing.
