As far as I can see this is a hosting solution best for a monotimbral plugin like Sforzando, although I suppose I could use multiple instances of Sonic. Assuming it works, meaning piping audio out the track from a softsynth hosted inside Element in order to use other slots for processing pre master bus, that would basically negate all the advantages of using the single instance of Halion Sonic.

Primarily I'd lose the ability to be able to open Sonic and immediately see what instruments had been loaded on each channel by the selected style. Instead I'd have to have all instances open to see the same thing.

I always intend to export audio to my DAW anyway, so it is not a total joy killer. But while working in BIAB I do like to get those files sounding as close to where I want to end up as possible ... and it's very convenient to be able to substitute and audition different instruments while still arranging.

I guess it's like having good recordings when you start a mix. If the recording engineer has done a good job the mixing is much easier.


Help! I've fallen up and can't get down!
