API console emulation vs Vision

[Kylerife]

Was just curious. I have both but wanted a better understanding of why I might pick one or the other. What would be the difference between running the console emulation or just having the vision in an insert? Forgive the rookie question. Thank you!

Mainly convenience and speed. The channel strips and compressors are right there, you don't need to open a window. Also, the extension is automatically loaded when you create a track.

In addition to the unified GUI, the main benefit is that it auto switches between DSP when the track is Rec enabled, and native/CPU when it's not.

The Vision Console Extension and Vision Plugin BOTH do the auto switching between DSP and CPU thing.

Another difference would be the size of the GUIs. The extension is tiny compared to the plugin.

Indeed, ALL UAD plugins that exist on both platforms now do this.

It's one of the benefits of being in control of the entire recording experience.

So it's not a reason to choose the extension over the plugin, since they BOTH function the same way, in this particular context. The OP was asking about differences between the extension and plugin. This is not a difference. They are they same, in this particular context.

So that leaves unified GUI and window management.
