I bought the plugin some time ago without thinking, but I found out that it was vst3 support and hurried to refund it.
Someday reason will support vst3, but hopefully that will be in the near future, and at least reason 12 does not separate generations.
Hope to have vst3 support in 11
Which plugin was it? There's very few that are VST3 only.
Very few I don't know but very important for sure. Just to name two basic VST3 only: Melodyne and Revoice Pro 4/VocAlign Pro 4/VocAlign Project 3.
For the crazy people, like me, who persist in using Reason for professional mixing, these are basic VST's. Furthermore there are more and more software house working only with VST3, just like DrumCore4 by Sonoma Wire Works, all of the new plugins by Tone Empire and the list is growing up month after month.
I take advantage of a particular wrapper, DDMF Metaplugin64, but working with a wrapper can be a temporary lifeline, not a definite solution, because you can make some things but not all the things you could do if VST3 were supported by Reason. Don't misunderstand me: the pitch-editing in Reason is great, audio time-stretching is good, automatic quantizing pretty revisable but when this comes to be clearly not enough, you have "to go VST" and leave Reason features, which are by the way excellent for producers or for home-recorders.
So I too hope VST3 as well as ARA can be *the* turning point for Reason 12, otherwise as far as I'm concerned I will have to migrate to another DAW for mixing thrid party's works, yet retaining Reason for producing my stuff. And that would be really painful to me, since I'm in love with Reason, I've been using it for 15 years and I can't wonder change my workflow at my age (I'm no more a newbie, unfortunately and fortunately).
Trivia: it took 5 hours for me to manually time-aligning a large number of vocal (and guitar) tracks in Reason, whereas I would have spent only 30 minutes using Revoice or VocAlign. (I tried other VST2 like AutoAlign by SoundRadix and MAutoAlign by MeldaProduction but they work well only if you have two or more identical tracks delayed in time whereas they don't work if you have differently performed tracks delayed in time).
