I'd love to hear what everyone thinks...

Any predictions on when the Pro Audio Software guys like Steinberg, NI, Spectrasonics, and all other Virtual Instrument Creators are going to go Universal Binary and go Duo Core???

I can tell you with NI, as I'm a heavy user of traktor, absynth, and reaktor. For the most part, NI will be uni bin by or by the end of 2nd quarter this year.

Product: Scheduled compatibility:
GUITAR RIG 2nd Quarter 2006
GUITAR COMBOS 2nd Quarter 2006
TRAKTOR DJ Studio 2nd Quarter 2006
KONTAKT 2nd Quarter 2006
ABSYNTH 2nd Quarter 2006
FM7 2nd Quarter 2006
REAKTOR 2nd Quarter 2006
BANDSTAND End of 2nd Quarter 2006
AKOUSTIK PIANO End of 2nd Quarter 2006
B4 End of 2nd Quarter 2006
PRO-53 3rd Quarter 2006
BATTERY End of 3rd Quarter 2006
VOKATOR Until the end of 2006
NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY Until the end of 2006

Other pro audio stuff? Well, logic has gone to 7.2 and is now universal, ordering express with my macbook pro; Ableton will have live in beta at 5.2 and likely available March; and digidesign? Well, pro tools'll probably be native by 2010 hahaha


BUT, don't disregard all the superb freeware vsts out there, a fair few are going intel-native as we speak, and some of them are fantastic.

No worries NI, Apple, and Ableton all made announcements about their software at Winter NAMM last month.

Good info in this thread, but it really should be in 3rd party products.
