VST 2 coming to an end. - Steinberg
Well maybe now Ableton will allow VST3 plugins. If Ableton had started working on this years ago then there wouldn't be a problem now.

That doesn't mean VST2 will suddenly stop working or developers will stop making them, or DAW's supporting them.
I am going to bet the adoption of VST3 will remain as slow as it has been until today unless DAWs drop VST2 support.

That said even though Ableton is getting VST 3 now, it will be awhile before VST2 is fully phased out. A lot of heavy hitters (cough, cough NI) haven't even converted, and with the list of freeware plug-ins that probably never get converted to VST 3, there will always be a demand for VST 2, (as there is still some demand for older 32-bit plug-ins). I think the conversion is mainly for newer plug-ins to be VST3 compatible to support newer standards. Over time the big players will convert over.
I'm just happy we got VST3 because Ableton was getting in a weird position of not supporting certain plug-ins like Autotune.

I know, I had to "re-buy" autotune for UAD as a VST2.jlgrimes wrote:That said even though Ableton is getting VST 3 now, it will be awhile before VST2 is fully phased out.
