Which plugin to use AU, RTAS, VST?

[junebug]

Hi All, I intend to get the free Blue Cat freeware plugin pack II. Which platform do I use, or does it make a difference performance wise? I guess my real question, is one better than the other? AU, RTAS, or VST

You need AU if you're using Logic.

Thanks Jordito,

AU for Logic Pro ( will also work on mac versions of Studio One, Reaper & Digital Performer along with VST.).

RTAS & TDM for Pro Tools 10 and older.

AAX (Native/DSP) for Pro Tools 10 and forward on.

RE for Reason.

MAS for Digital Performer. DP also supports AU and VST.

VST Cubase/Nuendo and all the others (Studio One, Reaper, Digital Performer, Samplitude/Sequoia...). Has had several updates but the most common formats are VST2 followed by VST3.

Thanks a lot. Slowly it's all starting to make sense
