Yes, I appreciate the background of VST development. I don't know anything about it and defer to your knowledge, I'm sure you know what you're talking. Regarding Audition being incredibly buggy, and your assertion that it isn't - here I do have experience and can comment. I've been a user of Audition since the very first release, and earlier since I was a Cool Edit Pro user back as far as 1999. I've also spent extensive time editing in Wavelab, Cubase, Logic Pro 9 as my main DAW's at various times, and currently predominantly using Reaper. I have NEVER encountered a DAW as consistently buggy as Audition. To mention just a few Audition issues over recent releases, we have things like: the duplicate track function not working correctly, surround sound panners not working properly, playback ceasing to work... I mean we're not talking about wee issues. And - ironically since the principle reason for me to use Audition over other frankly much better DAWs is the ease of round-tripping from the video edit software - Audition in my experience is simply not able to deal editing mixing sound to video as playback ends up so jittery, the process ends up requiring so many workarounds and compromises it's pretty much impossible. That is a consistent issue throughout every single Audition release over several years now, on different operating systems and different computers - making it almost impossible to do things which I could do without any issues in Logic Pro 9 a decade ago with a much less powerful computer.
