The <dfn>Plugin DSP Load</dfn> window is helpful in cases where
|
|
some of the plugins in use overload the CPU, resulting in audible
|
|
clicks and pops in the output, but you aren't quire sure which ones
|
|
are causing this exactly.

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.
