Buy Universal Plug, get a free gift with purchase:
Ever get a new DAW you really .. really … liked, only to realize that you can’t get to some of your favourite plugins because it won’t host them? Stagecraft is talking to you …
- Logic Pro (loads AudioUnits but not VSTs)
- Pro Tools (loads only its own format – AAX)
- Bitwig (loads VST but not AU)
- Garageband (loads AU but not VST)
- Ableton Live (loads VST AU and VST3)
Well, now you can load any 64-bit VST / VST3 / AU plugin in any host. We’ve created an easy to use wrapper plugin that will let you open your favourite plugins anywhere.
