It's not a matter of realtime or not. It's whether you need to create
an insert to use them. I.E. the button to use the Vegas track EQ is
located next to each track. But if I want to use Waves Renaissance
Compressor, I have to create an effect insert bus and apply it that
way. This adds yet another 2 sets of volume controls that I'd rather
due without, as well as other inconveniences. The new Amulet adapter
would allow VST plugins (of which there are many freeware available)
to operate in the same way as the Vegas track EQ and compressor
