For right now, the main vst plug I use is Edirols HyperCanvas. It's a Kicka$$ GM2 softsynth which In my opinion nothing else touches in the soundfont world. I have it running fairly stable and it is kind of a turning point for me to have a good reliable GM or GS softsynth. When I can get this, I can seriously look at dumoing CW Sonar on Winblows XP altogether. But also as Austin said...They ALL work great at home and crash at the most inopportune moments! :) Also Muse and RG need some more work to be ready for primetime. R~
