I'm talking about performance, specifically Mac performance. AU performance is objectively much better than performance via an external host, like Garritan Studio -- AU supports greater polyphony with fewer dropouts and less distortion on the same system. This is simply not up for debate.

The fact is AU/VST stinks in comparison.
That's utter nonsense. AU/VST playback has lower latency and is more efficient, allowing more simultaneous instruments/polyphony on the same hardware compared to a MIDI solution like Garritan Studio, which requires more computational overhead.
AU/VST playback also hooks into Human Playback much better.

"utter nonsense" may be a bit strong here -- how can you call "utter nonsense" something which someone else has heard with his own ears? I think this may be one of those "if the computer is set up one way A sounds better, if it's set up differently B sounds better."

But I am sure Gerald is able to distinguish what he has heard and knows which sounds better to him. :-)
