Getting around a bit more on the VIP in stand alone mode..

As you get more comfortable with the operating procedure... the flow is getting better...

VIP would be a great addition for folks that want to use VST's..
Years ago you would spend Big Bucks on hardware to do half what the software does..

If you have a decent DAW, I think the advantage is to use the DAW..

My choice between Ableton live9 lite and VIP stand alone..... I would use VIP.
