Trying to use DX effects in Ableton is far worseJason Brian Merrill wrote: i wont go into the differences between sonar's wrapper and every other vst host - perhaps a search would reveal something? But it sucks, imho.
Sonar comes with the Sonitus fx:Suite. Although available seperately in VST/DX format, the only provide the DX version bundled with Sonar (petty, no?). To use them in Ableton I need to insert the VB ffx4 simple wrapper, which does not allow for any automation (except wet/dry amount). Very crappy.
To be honest, as Ableton advances with each update I can see that Sonar may not be much use to me for too much longer. Trying to use a fundamentally DX environment alongside a VST one leads to an uneasy alliance at best...
...but maybe with Sonar 6, Cakewalk will again tempt me to stay in the fold
