The Plugin DSP Load window

+ +

+ For each plugin in use, there is a chart and numeric data that represents + minumum, maximum, and average CPU time used, as well as standard deviation. + This, along with simple color coding — green for safe amount of CPU use, + red for CPU overload — gives you a good overview of what's going on + in the session. +

+ +

+ You can use this data to decide whether you want to replace a plugin with + a less resource-hungry one, freeze a track, or report a potential bug + to the plugin's developer and wait for an update. +

+ +

+ It's worth noting that certain type of plugins, like convolution reverbs + and guitar amp simulators, tend to consume more resources. +
