Writing Vst Plugins

Bidule is another option that works with Pro Tools First. Using Reaper in Pro Tools to Host VST Instruments and Plugins Reaper is a good option to use VST plugins in Pro Tools because it has a 60-day free fully-functioning demo and it only costs $60 to purchase. Plus it's a full DAW and not just a plugin like the other options.
