I tried to search the forums, but did'nt find my answer...

What I need is to find an easy-to-use sequecer to host my vsti's.

I would like tha ability to load a vsti, program the sequencer, export the audio file and import it into Adobe Audition.

It's important that it is easy to use, and a low price would also be great.

MiniHost is your program

And don't forget to look at EnergyXT.

MiniHost doesn't have a sequencer afaik.

Check out:
EnergyXT
Podium
Tracktion
Magix Music Maker
Tunafish
Muton

All fairly cheap and simple to use, though, simplicity is a very personal thing. What I might find utter simple and logic you might find hard to grasp, and vice versa.

Can you program the sequencer in Minihost though?? I was sure it was just a preset?
eXT is pretty good, but a steepish learning curve for some.
Tunafish is worth checking out though.

FL Studio is pretty easy to get into.

i wonder if theres one thats like the reason sequencer except without reason and with VST

The thing is, my father (at 63) is these days using Adobe Audition and Reason. I bought The Grand some time ago, and he was impressed. Now I was thinking of giving it to him as a birthday present, but then he would need a host for it so that he can import it into Adobe Audition.

I dont want it to contain so much more than just the ability to program/record a vsti and export it to a wav.

Anything like Reason would be great (it took me a year to teach him how to use reason).

a piano refill for reason would be better ... if hes already used to reason and it took you a year to teach him

and really, Reason already comes with a kickass piano preset for the NN-XT using samples. But, theres always http://www.sonicreality.com/viewDetails ... ductID=177

Hey, the demos sound greate, but now I already have The Grand...

You can try to use VSTHost and a midi step sequencer plugin and see if it fits your needs.

you could use a virtual midi cable from reason to minihost and then record your vst through voxengo recorder in the minihost(i think you can chain FX?)

Tracktion is pretty easy to come to grips with.
Tunafish is too.
