I wrote an email to TC's tech support page about the TC Powercore and if/when they be supporting Direct X applications,there answer was...
Hi Eddie,
thanks for your mail.
There are remote plans to support DirectX, but this will definitely take some time and most important: this is no promise. Up until then, you could try the workaround via VST-Wrappers, but we do not officially support them, because some of them are really improperly programmed.
I commented on which VST wrappers "were" properly programmed and they responded...
"Properly programmed" was probably a translation error... ; -)
We have in fact tested POWERCORE 1.5 with FXPansions VST Wrapper, and it works. We did not test automation, by the way.
One of the factors in our decision to delay a DirectX version of POWERCORE is that very few Windows applications have Automatic Compensation Compensation. We do provide a Compensation Plug-In, but this too requires a wrapper, as it is currently VST.
I hope this helps!
Best Regards!
Not sure what in the hell "Automatic Compensation Compensation" IS but I hope the techs in the R+D department might have a clue. If SOFO gives a little in development[meets them somewhere in the middle] + the new VST wrapper upgrade from FXpansion [3.2] comes out in "late december?". Between the two of them if this can be accomplished it would mean a big boom in sales of Vegas Audio 3 IMHO!!!
The newest fad which I don't feel will be leaving us anytime soon will be DSP accelerator cards. Right now Vst compatible applications have the edge and will remain retaining even a larger portion of the market because of the quality of the plugins. I hope that something is being done about this as we speak. I can understand if 5.1 audio isn't added into the next upgrade, or even midi [sorry guys not really necessary here though would be nice :)],among other things...not too many I hope...but to leave out something like this would lack forward thinking in the audio department "bigtime". Out of any of the new advancments going on in the development of VA3 this should really be up in the top 5!!!
If incorporating VST would hurt the program than something like this might be a better alternative. Any other opinions? Later.
