Subject:Re: VB3 vs MainStage 3's Vintage B3

Fortunately I have more than enough machine resources to run all the patches I have needed using Lion and MS 2.2.2 in 32 bit mode.

Did you try the 32 bit VST work around that was posted a month or so ago?

Having said that I endorse your comment that a 64 bit AU version is desperately needed. MainStage is the king both in terms of functionality and ease of use, having to get your hands dirty with workarounds is not going to cut it with most MainStage and Logic X users.   

>>>After finding the time to actually 'A-B' the two instruments (problematic, as I needed to use two computers, one for 64 bit and for 32) I must say that VB3 still reigns supreme in nearly every department. The most significant exception, aside from the obvious visuals, is the overdrive. I can live with that. It will kill me to make the switch over to MS3 and not be able to use VB3 anymore. The 32-bit bridge no longer functions with MS3. (It was a bit lumpy in MS2 as it was.)
Please, Guido. Please, a 64-bit version. I understand you are no big fan of the Mac OS, but Mainstage is the absolute king of live performance software, there is nothing even remotely close. You know this to be true. Please don't exclude VB3 from a pro-user's arsenal.
