But 13 years is a very long time in this industry and we are faced with the fact that the platform that AATranslator is built on is showing its age and as such we are finding it increasingly difficult to support or add features that we know you would like.

The good news is that for the last 18 months we have been re-writing AATranslator (AATranslator2) using a more modern language and a more powerful platform.

As I have said I see the VST Standalone the new simple to use cross platform Band In A Box Lite® so a Linux version also while your at it.


I really think that's how it will go as you are not spending 6 months on the Win Plugin then 6 months on the Mac Plugin as you do with Biab, it's using cross platform released at the same time, same features Win Lin Mac. That's future proofing, I can't see how the current 6 months Win 6 months Mac will last down the track. They could use JUCE and spend the other 6 months in Hawaiian sunshine.
