Playing Back VST Instruments

After you have added a VST instrument and selected a sound, you can play back the VST

instrument using the instrument or MIDI track in your project.

PROCEDURE

1. In the track list, activate Monitor for the track that has the VST instrument loaded.

2. Press one or more keys on your MIDI keyboard or use the On-Screen Keyboard.

The corresponding sounds are triggered on your VST instrument.

3. Select Studio > MixConsole to open the MixConsole and adjust the sound, add EQ or

effects, assign another output routing, etc.

VST Instruments and Processor Load

VST instruments can consume a lot of CPU power. The more instruments you add, the more likely

you will run out of processor power during playback.

If the CPU overload indicator in the Audio Performance window lights up or you get crackling

sounds, you have the following options:

● Activate Freeze Instrument Channel.

This renders the instrument into an audio le and unloads it.

●

Activate Suspend VST 3 plug-in processing when no audio signals are received for VST 3

instruments.

This ensures that your instruments do not consume CPU power on silent passages.
