When I first worte I was wondering if Audacity handles VSTi's as opposed to just VST's. I don't want to record using Audacity. I was wondering if Audacity could serve as a simple VSTi host. From further reading I think it won't. I'm currently using Pro Tools under Win XP on one machine and on another I use Acid Pro under Win ME to host VSTi's. Acid accepts MIDI input, for instance, and generates audio output using it's own Tempo sync. I then fly the audio back to Pro Tools to record. Since writing the first message here I Spent some time looking at the Audacity-help archives. I think I won't even bother loading Audacity. It appear the community is not very helpful. It looks like fewer than 20% of the requests there get even a single response. I did better here getting 3 responses than anyone has there in the month of April! ;-) Thanks for all the response, even Russell's! ;-) Off to find a more simple VSTi platform for my system. Sorry, but I'm just not up to loading a 4th version of Wine so that I can attempt to do this under Linux. I currently have 3 Wine versions running. I wish these Wine guys would converge, or the Linux VST Server project would choose a release that these other major projects are using. Cheers, Mark
