I prefer when there isn't or at least I can choose not to install a stand alone. I never use them. even fiddling as if I am fiddling around suddenly want to record then since I have taken the slight extra time to load the plugin I can just tap record and don't loose a thought with extra time Smile

I use standalones when they add value to the plugin external to the host environment. Someone mentioned beatmakers, sure, also guitar processors, e.g. Guitar Rig, and any plugin that's also itself a serious work environment, e.g. Reaktor.

I always tend to buy software instruments that have a standalone version and not just vst/au. But some big instruments don't have it- like Omnisphere and Zebra.

Yet smaller companies such as Loomer and FAW manage it. Why can't Spectrasonics and U-he? Have they done market research and found out nobody is bothered about having a standalone version?

I just really like being able to play an instrument without opening a DAW, and it matters to me. Should I get over it?


Late to the party but no, you most certainly do NOT need to get over it.

I like my standalones. I don't need them, but they are handy.

+1 - no standalone Reaktor would be not good
