You can do a basic implementation manually in any daw:
Copy the track
Pan both tracks left and right respectively and symmetrically
The dry channel should be around 18dB louder than the Haas channel
Add a time delay of 13ms-~50ms to 'Haas' channel'
Be careful how much Haas you use, it affects the tonality of the track when summed to mono.
If you have ...

Consider getting an old box with the OS it used to work on and using that box as a "hardware" synth. That is, run a midi channel to the old boxand run the audio from the old box back to your DAW as if it were a hardware synth. This way you retain all bends, legato and midi automation.
Otherwise, Openlabs has some software called MimiK that can be used to ...

In REAPER you need to ensure that it knows where the Superior Drummer VST effect is installed. Go to Options | Preferences and in the Plug-Ins | VST section check to see if the install path for the Superior Drummer VST DLL is included in the list:
If it isn't, click Add and select the install folder for the VST DLL. Now click Re-scan.
If you still can't ...

Your top choice for truly free (ie nonpropietary, and no license fee) is Ardour. Ardour is not incredibly simple to get setup, especially with VST support. It's not super difficult, but before you try it, I'd recomend reading about how to install it, add VST support and also about JACK, which it uses as its audio engine.
You should also take a look at ...

It really depends on how much you care about realtime operation. VSTs tend to be used both for production and performance, but with video, because there's so much more processing involved, things tend to be split between production and performance. That being said, for production, After Effects plugins are probably the closest analogy. For performance, ...

Unfortunately, the answer is that there is no easy way to do this manually. You can sample your synth, which involves making a recording of it playing each note individually, and then assembling that into a sampled instrument using the sfz format (or any other sampler).
However, this does not work well for all types of synth sound. In particular, if your ...

Have you tried simply pulling the threshold right down on the Ozone Loudness Maximiser? See my recent answer on loudness wars though for why this might not be a good idea.

As decasteljau and Mark Heath said, 64-bit will likely perform better with huge sampled instruments, but you also need to like the software you are using.
If you only have a slight leaning toward Ableton, then it's probably better to go with the 64-bit version of Cubase. If you strongly prefer Ableton's interface over Cubase, you might prefer to limit your ...

It's possible to do bi-directional audio and MIDI streams between programs with ReWire but it's not possible to do bi-directional audio streams with Reason.
Reason doesn't allow incoming, realtime audio streams. It's just something Propellerhead has never wanted Reason to be. Similar to how it doesn't support VST plugins.
I wish it was possible. I sure ...

While filzilla has a great answer, one major omission is the fact that depending on the software solution you use, it may well be possible to add hardware DSP processing down the road to make it completely equivalent to a dedicated hardware solution while still maintaining the flexibility of a software based system. There are many computer accessories that ...

Comparing both options on the following criteria may assist.
Portability: Most dedicated DSP pedals, boxes, etc are more portable than hauling a desktop and running DSP software on it. However a laptop, tablet, or iPad, or even the possible use of a smart phone with appropriate apps may now be a serious contender in the portability arena.
Latency: This is ...

Voxengo have a plugin called Recorder that does what you want, available for Windows and Mac. It's free too.

First, let make things clear.
64-bit plug-in modules (DLL) only work with 64 bits applications hosts.
32-bit plug-in modules (DLL) only work with 32 bits applications hosts.
64-bit plug-in modules (DLL) do not sound better than 32-bit plug-in modules. This has nothing to do with 64-bit audio processing.
The main difference between both is the ...

You should start by sketching your idea out in Max/MSP, PureData, SuperCollider, Reaktor, or another environment designed to facilitate audio processing. Once you have demonstrated to yourself that your idea works as expected, then move on to building an actual VST plugin.
I haven't built a VST myself, but keep in mind that the core VST SDK is a C++ ...

Unfortunately not free, but the following two options have worked for me in the past:
Xlutop Chainer
Energy-XT which can be used as a VST plugin, or a DAW in its own right. I use it as both, as there's a Linux version, and I love it.

Reaper has this as a native (and very usable) effect plugin. It's not one of the plugins they offer as gratis VSTs, but if you're considering to switch the DAW anyway do give Reaper a try, it's great and not quite GPL but about as free as proprietary software can get!
As said by ObscureRobot, this kind of effect is really easy to write yourself, I built one ...

What you are looking for is often called a Goniometer or Correlation meter. There are plenty of VST plugins that will display a goniometer view for stereo correlation analysis. Just use your favorite search engine, now that you know the proper terms.
This looks like what you are looking for. I don't have any experience with it myself, however.

I did a little bit of searching and I was unable to find anything similar. That being said, if they're discontinuing a product, there's a good chance that a new version will be released. Failing that, your best bet is the RECEPTOR - I'd buy one myself if I had the money.
The problem with devices like these [And my guess as to why they're rare] is the number ...

You need the VST loaded in the track's FX list. MIDI data in REAPER tracks passes through the FX, and there needs to be some plugin there to interpret the MIDI and produce sounds, which are then passed to the track's output. This is true for any VST instruments in REAPER, not just Studio Drummer.
Don't forget to check that the track monitoring is set ...

The effective answer is, it depends which plug-in!
Check out this article. If you're working with DSP-based TDM plug-ins, it looks like you can use these from within Logic, for example. It even sounds like Logic will import the plug-in settings across from Pro Tools.
Sadly, if you're working with the more common RTAS or AS format plug-ins, then you ...

I use Soundflower for routing the awesome instruments from Logic into Live. Usually, I just setup a MainStage for it, since I don't need any of the DAW overhead. You can do the same thing for ProTools to Logic, I believe.
Soundflower is a virtual patch bay within your computer that shows up as new outputs and inputs. I like it because it is fairly seamless ...

A 64 bit process can only load 64 bit DLLs, and a 32 bit process can only load 32 bit DLLs. So if you run your DAW as a 64 bit process, it can't load 32 bit VST's without using some kind of "bridge" (which a lot of the 64 bit DAWs come with as standard, including Cubase).
What does this mean in practice? If your DAW is 32 bit, then you are right in thinking ...

Fuxi, you can try ndc Midi ADSR, found in FreeMusicSoftware.org, I've just tested it with Reaper 3.74 and it seems to work fine.
Unfortunately its not tempo syncable - the 'segment' value is in seconds.
Check out the other VSTs on the Free Music Software site.

Have a look at Native Instruments Session Strings which is a sample based VSTi of a string ensemble, which has built in "articulations", including "scoops/falls" specifically targetted at creating 70s disco sounds. There is also Session Strings Pro which has a much larger sample library and a few extra features

The classic "70's" string sound is the Arp String Ensemble. It is featured in such songs as "Babe" by Styx.
This plugin (stringer) might do the trick: http://freemusicsoftware.org/category/free-vst/strings. There are also other plugins in that page you can try.
If you are looking for more realistic string sounds, and don't want to purchase an enormous ...
