The only limitation you have in the software world is the power of your CPU. Hardware has physical limitations to deal with in terms of the number of mixer channels you have or external effects boxes that physically exist in your studio. So, very quickly other DAWs saw the potential, adopted the technology and people started writing VST compatible effects that could run on whatever recording software you were using. Much of the success of the VST format came about because it was released as an open format for other companies to use and develop their own software for.
Revolutionary at the time and we all take it for granted these days. It elevated the computer from being a MIDI sequencer and audio recorder to becoming the fully-fledged audio recording, mixing and producing platform that we know today. It was invented as a way of adding real-time audio effects to audio tracks recorded on a computer. “VST” is an acronym that stands for Virtual Studio Technology and was introduced by Steinberg Media Technologies in 1996 along with version 3 of their Cubase sequencer and digital audio workstation ( DAW) software. But even if you haven’t, don’t worry, we have everything you need in this article to get you up to speed. You’ve probably gathered that it has something to do with effects, sounds, instruments, and synthesizers. If you make any kind of music involving software then you would have come across the term "VST.”
