Mar 16, 2005 01:25 am If you've got the option of using both, why not? There are some great free plugins in both format, just grab em, and try em. DX and VST are really no better than each other, it's the quality of the plugin. I have some great VST's and I also have some great DX plugs.
Personally though I have found more VST plugins that I like.

Mar 16, 2005 11:05 pm The biggest differance between VSTi and DXi is the fact that DXi can be automated easier. VSTi's dont lend themselves to automation as readily. That is however a problem that is being fixed slowly by most of the apps that run VSTi's.
I can automate every funtcion in my DXi plugs, but the matching VSTi's dont do squat when trying to automate them.
