I recently purchased Melodyne 5 Essentials and can only use it as a stand alone product which is cumbersome to say the least. Being able to access Melodyne 5 within RB as a plugin would be great.

While I believe adding support for both VST3 and ARA will benefit PG Music and users of PowerTrackPro and RealBand, I believe VST3 support is the more important specification. The VST3 specification covers more plugins than ARA.

I have access to lots of cool vintage synth plugins that are VST3 only, and would dearly love to use then. 8 years of piano lessons as a kid, fairly proficient with computers, but complete beginner to BiaB / RB / DAWs in general.

You can use melodyne and still be able to change any section/slice of track any time as well as lengthen/shorten any riff as it's using the source files, this gives way more control than just getting what RB gives. This will put the tracks in Reaper quicker than can be generated up in RealBand. Now if RealBand could work that way it would be a different story. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly

Add vsti3shell.x64.dll to your VSTi list. Add vst3shell.x64.dll to your VSTFX list. When you choose them you will get a list of your vst3's, pick one from the list. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly
