A long time ago, when I was using Maize Studio, I learned about VST plugins, and it seemed that several simulated rack devices had corresponding plugins. In 2017, I saw on the website that WaveAudio launched its Lv1. Subsequently, different brands of mixing consoles also released corresponding Waves cards, which could be used to access Waves plugins by connecting to a computer.
Recently, during a training session, I saw Teacher Wu using Gig Performer for a live demonstration, which was very exciting to watch. I secretly noted down the software name and explored it slowly at home. On the homepage, it stated --- providing powerful audio plugin hosts for live performances. What I want to say is that gradually, the previous analog hardware has disappeared, replaced by these algorithm-based plugins, similar to Analog Obsession and Native Access. Some plugins require a management platform for download, while others can be directly downloaded and installed. There are those who like analog sounds, as well as practical dynamic EQ, reverb, delay, loudness monitoring, and FFT spectrum analysis, which are all helpful tools for live performances. There are both free and paid plugins available. It seems that so far, the latency of the plugins is also within an acceptable range. In the end, stability in live settings is greater than everything else.
