I'm brand new here at FP and I'm new to music production (besides messing around with ejay), so I have a question:
What is a plug-in? Alot of programs say that they are for example VST plug-ins. As far as I've understood, that means that it doesn't act like a standalone program, instead you run the VST (as I've understood is a software synth) through another program. Is this the case, and if so, which program should I use? For example, now I use Sound Forge 6.0 for recording and Vegas 4.0 to put the loops together. Could I use any of these programs to play a VST plug-in? Or use other plug-ins like the Steinberg Voice Designer?
Thanks for any answer.
