Using AU plugins with VEP7 as a VST plugin

[PaoloT]

Hi,

I'm using a Mac, but with Dorico I have to use VEP7 as a VST plugin. It works fine, so that's OK.

When inserting a plugin in VEP, I have to decide if adding it as an AU or a VST plugin. Does it make any difference? I would prefer AU, since I suspect it works better with CoreAudio, but I fear there may be compatibility issues when receiving data from Dorico, that is expecting VST plugins.

 VE Pro's status as VST plugin in a host carries no expectation that its plugins match that. There's pretty much no way that could even be because the host [here, Dorico] is not hosting the plugins., VE Pro is.

I have to use VE Pro in Cubase or Nuendo as VST and until a couple of yrs ago when VSL made VST possible in the Mac version all the plugins were AU.

I think both AU and VST are equally reliable.  the only way to host AU inside Dorico would be to use a VST wrapper around it, which would not be any more reliable, if a anything less..though it should work ok too but why do it?  I think just use VST

Thank you both for your answers.

So, either AU or VST should work as well. But since there may be VST-specific commands (for example, VST3 expression commands), I would probably be better using all VST with Dorico.
