The code side causes issues that make RTAS less efficient(because most 3rd party RTAS plugins are really just a "wrapped" VST or AU." This is why you see people complaining about RTAS not being efficient on the digi forums.Įven when plasq was still charging for wormhole, I think it would have been difficult for them to make an RTAS version because of limited resources/cashflow. Hopefully Audio Impressions can widen their product to include Mac-to-Mac and good rtas response! hehI've heard mixed info about this, but rumors seem to suggest that releasing software under the RTAS platform is more difficult than others both because of the added labor of coding it and because of the legal/license issues with digidesign. Yeah, no RTAS support makes it useless for me.
My workflow involves piping audio from several computers into Pro Tools, so this is what made me quickly lose interest in it.īeen too busy to do any R&D for the last few months, but when things slow down I am planning on testing audioport universal soon with a gigastudio pc, logic 8, and with the FXpansion rtas wrapper in pro tools.
When wrapped with the FXpansion VST-RTAS wrapper in pro tools, the graphics for the wormhole plugin become garbled. So wormhole is not a replacement for an audio interface, but more of a way to increase i/o.ģ. This means you still need some kind of audio hardware that is capable of syncing to external clock. an ethernet hub helps, and having both computers locked to the same wordclock source is also helpful. Using a crossover cable directly between the computers vs. While it does pass audio both ways, AU or VST and mac or PC, it drops out unpredictably.
No RTAS support, and not likely to happen now that it's gone open source.Ģ. I have done some experimenting with wormhole in the past, it does work but it has several issues that did not make it worthwhile for my setup.ġ.
