I’m in the progress of transferring my live setup from a Win 64 bit NUC to a Mac Mini M2 Pro running Ventura 13.3.1
On VST that I rely on heavily is Steinberg Halion 6. I’ve installed it among others (Padshop, Retrologue etc.) using the Steinberg Download Assistant which dropped the VST3 files to Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Steinberg
However, in GigPerformer 4 the VST3 plugin will not load. The AU versions seem to work fine but all my instrument presets are stored as part of the GP4 file which used the VST3 version on Windows.
So before searching for a workaraound (e.g. saving the Halion presets on the NUC and transferring them to the AU version on the Mac), I want to find out why the VST3 versions do not load in GP. For me, that’s also a matter of general transferability…
Does anyone have similar problems and knows the cause and how to fix this?
I’ve just tried, and it works. Did a rescan and restart and boom… well, that was easy
Any noticeable downsides of running GP under Rosetta? The latency add seems neglectable as far as I can see…
some people say vs. DAW uses they have up to 20% better CPU usage, ARM native vs. Rosetta mode. I think i saw people even “expecting” to have 40% more CPU power.
I made some tests with GP, back then on my M1, and it was mostoften more like 7-8%.
sometimes just 5%. Some very rare times maybe up to 15% better.
Everything else is nothing to worry about vs. running things under Rosetta.
Or in other words: i´ve never seen any negative comments vs. Rosetta in any Audio Forum or test.
