OK, a few advantages of VE Pro over VE2 and VE3:
- It can host other sample players. However, it is the sample player developer's responsibility to make sure that it works with VE Pro; not the other way round. if you have a particular product in mind, hassle the developer to make sure that they are going to support VE Pro.
- Global optimise. This means that you only have to make a few clicks to optimise your whole arrangements. For me that means a saving of over 200 mouse clicks!
- Preserve. This means that you can change projects without having to load your template again. This is huge for me, giving a saving of half an hour each time. This is also of benefit to users on one computer, as it works the same as over a network.
- It will be 64bit on OSX, even if your sequencer is not 64bit (all of them......!)
One caveat. So far it is not being developed for PPC, so those people who are thinking that they can use it on their G5s, forget it. Unless VSL changes its collective mind. [;)]
