Compatibility tested on: Windows XP SP3 / Windows 7 32-bit with Audition 1.5

In an era dominated by cloud-based DAWs like Logic Pro X, FL Studio 21, and Ableton Live 12, it seems almost archaeological to mention . Yet, a dedicated community of users refuses to let this legacy software die.

VST-to-DirectX wrapper

Because Audition 1.5 is a 32-bit application, you must use plugins. Modern VST3 versions will not be recognized.
