Using Mainstage 2 to run AU softsynths inside ProTools - the ultimate NI fix?

[PastaViking II]

While looking through Apple's news on Logic 9 it dawned on me that Mainstage 2 might be the solution many have been looking for to run AU softsynths reliably inside ProTools.

Since Mainstage 2 is Rewire compatible it can most probably stream into ProTools without problem.

Can someone confirm this?

I'm doing the exact same thing with bidule and it works great. The main limitation is that rewire only allows audio to travel in to pro tools, so it's really only useful for VI's.

Tried it with L8/mainstage and it wouldn't work multi-timbre. started to use Logic 8 itself as a multi-timbre VI player, which works quite well, but still buggy with a few VI's

Look into Vienna Ensemble Pro from VSL -- it promises greater flexability than MS 2. It should be released any day now. I'm using the current version (ve3), and it is very stable. It also has 16 stereo paths into PT that are NOT reliant upon rewire.
