Yeah... I get the sarcasm... and I know they've been promising this for a while. I do think it's going to happen, but might be a long wait. I bought PCM Native Reverbs for such a cheap deal, it was worth taking the risk, and actually since my main DAW uses AU, I can use it without having to run my DAW itself in Rosetta.

Most people know this, I guess, but it's worth mentioning; plugins without AAX ARM support can be run in AU or VST thru Bluecat Audio Patchwork in PT. I heard Waves has a piece of software now that can do it also. Not very practical for everything, but when it comes to reverbs and such, that I often use as send/return, and don't tweak very often, it's perfectly fine.

Yes. Waves Studio Rack works well.

WavesHell has been doing it always, they only update "that plugin" which interfaces the DAW, and never actually touch the real plugin files. The mother of all wrappers...

Studiorack is a plugin running on a wrapper and is wrapping other plugins, so it is a feat in itself it actually functions. Not to mention running a wrapped plugin such as Kontakt (which is a VST even if you run it as AU) so once you add wrapper to a wrapper to a wrapper and have random problems it should be clear where they originate.

We can be sure that the update isn't coming anytime soon. Every 6 months a "we're working on it" update. Never any actual updates of merit. They're playing games with us.

Yeah... I get the frustration. As I mentioned, folks like me whose primary DAW supports Audio Units on the Mac are in a much better position to wait it out. I can still use the PCM Native Reverb bundle right now *without* the need to run my DAW itself in Rosetta (or use a workaround like BC PatchWork) and they have minimal processor hit, even when the plug-in is using Rosetta. So as long as Lexicon coughs up a native version before Apple strips Rosetta 2 from MacOS—which probably won't be for at least a couple more years—it's no problem here. But yes, obviously, if you need AAX or VST3 then it's a bummer.

FYI... just got email from PSP that they now have the corrected Impressor installer available for download containing the Apple Silicon native AAX version.

Just a heads up that the Waves WUP 25% off sale ends tomorrow. Got it at AudioDeluxe for $165.
