VST Standard
Audio effects can be integrated in Cubase thanks to the VST standard. At the moment, the VST 3
and VST 2 standards are supported.
The VST 3 plug-in standard offers improvements, such as smart plug-in processing. Yet it retains
full backwards compatibility to VST 2.
Smart Plug-In Processing
Smart plug-in processing is a technology that allows to disengage the processing for plug-ins
when no signal is present. This reduces the CPU load on silent passages and allows you to load
more effects.
To activate smart plug-in processing, activate Suspend VST 3 plug-in processing when no audio
signals are received in the Preferences dialog (VST—Plug-ins page).
NOTE
Check the processor for the passage with the largest number of events playing simultaneously to
make sure that your system offers the required performance at every time position.
Plug-In Delay Compensation
Some audio effects, especially dynamics processors that feature a look-ahead functionality, may
take a brief time to process the audio fed into them. As a result, the output audio is slightly
delayed. To compensate for this, Cubase provides plug-in delay compensation.
Plug-in delay compensation is featured throughout the entire audio path maintaining the sync
and timing of all audio channels.
