What I was trying to ascertain Dietz (since I haven't worked with MIR), is whether someone that decides to work with MIR has to forego all the host DAW's power functions (EQ was just an example, I meant all the multifarious and sophisticated plug-ins that are offered in programs like Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, etc.), and purchase separate stand-alone AU plug-ins that must also be run in the slave computer (for workflow reasons). If I understand things correctly, then Logic's usage is henceforth limited to the Arrange Page, it becomes merely a sequencer (like Master Tracks used to be), to be used only for Automation and final Bounce. Do I have this right? I apologize for my comparative lack of understanding of how these things work.
If that is the case, I don't see why VSL doesn't go the last few hundred meters of the distance and provide us with an all-in-one solution with its own "DAW" (as I first suggested a year ago), you've already toyed with the idea (that "sequencer" in the new VI PRO); if the above is correct, all that remains for you to integrate are things like automation, quantization, global tracks, nothing fancy...
