It is my pleasure to announce the immediate availability of VST Live 3, the new version of our Live Performance software. VST Live 3 comes with a broad range of new features in both the video/lightning and audio segment, including the new VIDEO DIRECTOR function for managing several camera streams and a new AUDIO MONITOR MIXER for better stage performance control. Not to forget a direct integration with OBS for live-streaming to any online platform.

Grace Period updates are available for purchases after November 12, 2025.
PS: now I hope there will be time to improve dmx handling…. Custom channels name, something to manage chases, scenes, assign block of fixtures, have a main dimmer fader … the dmx player module like we have media player module and so on … one can always dream to reach perfection, we are almost there!!
… of course, @sergeantt67. We will continue to add fixes for the version-2-product line. On Friday we will release 2.2.86 with one fix for you. The Crash while reloading another project.
Suggestion for new Monitor view : a visibility filter for the available out channels. Not every channel is a iem/monitor output, and i have a dozen of out but only need to quickly acces 6 iem out channels - also, given that the monitored channels are in reality just a GUI for the channel sends - also a pre/post fader indicator/switch in the monitor view should be a good thing to have.
Other request of clarification: DMX channels in mixer - are the faders a track dimmer now?
As my band wades into having an actual light show, I am excited to work with these improvements! My perennial question, will we see sidechains for Layers (please, oh please)? Looking forward to keeping everything under the umbrella of VST Live. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been asking about sidechain for some time. They have been working on it, but there still must be some elements that aren’t ready. I’ve been loading instances of Arturia Vocoder V and Pigments as stand alone and using a separate keyboard for it. Far, far from ideal.
same for me. I’m a customer, not a beta tester. And as a customer, seing a new version coming while there is still bugs to be corrected int he previous one is always a bad signal.
