 From http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html#Features :

LADSPA <http://www.ladspa.org/>, DSSI <http://dssi.sourceforge.net/> and
native VST <http://www.steinberg.net/>i plug-in support.

I looked at native VST's under gentoo previously and I did not see any that were set up to compile on a 64bit machine (ebuilds were only marked for ~x86).  Are they 64bit safe?
