It says something about an option when you install to process the existing RTs to compress them

I see that the whole release is based on the new RT compression and stretch features, but absolutely nothing was done to make VST's work better, noting was done to add automation in RB, and the coyote Wt is still the only real choice for basic midi. While i love the new features for RTs I was hoping that better VSTi handling was coming so we could all use the excellent plugs we already have. I love RTs but sometimes you want to play midi tracks, and some synths do not work properly. You can not use RTs for every track. Especially if you do any cover work, some songs are great with your interpretation, but others require that it be more true to the original, and that requires midi tracks.

I will upgrade my system, but I am a bit disappointed. I want RB and PTPA to stand up to the other DAWs on the market, and they can't until they have real automation, mouse drawable not fader recording, that is similar to programs like even MC5 where you can add nodes and adjust volume and panning and even effects sends and such. Plus full on synth handling capability, without the problem of the timing code issues.

Anyway I do not want to sound like a jerk, I love the upgrades to the tempo stretching, it will be very helpful. And many of the other features will certainly be handy.
