Reminder: if you're a Mac user and you do music production and are due for an upgrade, you'd better do that now. The Apple Silicon transition is *guaranteed* to be a complete clusterfuck for the DAW ecosystem.

Apple is pushing their own Audio Unit plug-in system which runs out-of-process. They don't care about VSTs. You can only mix CPU architectures with AUv3 plug-ins.

It *is* possible to wrap in-process plug-ins to be out-of-process (I do that on Linux to use Windows VSTs), but it is a finicky thing, reduces performance, and someone has to write the code, probably DAW authors if they want it to work *well* (it's meh on Linux)
