non-native AU plugins in Live 11 Native ARM (specifically Reason 11 rack plugin)

Hi there

Did you hear about "AUHostingCompatibilityService", the Apple process that can "bridge" an Intel Audio Unit plugin to work in native in an Apple Silicon machine (and DAW) ?

I'm mainly interested in not buying the Reason 12 update, because I rarely use Reason, and almost only in its rack plugin form in Ableton Live.

I plan to buy an ARM mac, but I don't want to pay to update Reason from 11 to 12, when obviously (to me) the update doesn't bring nothing more than (a potential) native ARM compatibility.


I would be interested to know if an Audio Unit Reason rack plugin, from Reason 11, would work nicely in native in Ableton Live 11.
Theoretically yes (thanks to AUHostingCompatibilityService), but nothing worths the practical test...
