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 the Monitor button for the track that has the VST
instrument loaded.
2. Press one or more keys on your MIDI keyboard or use the virtual keyboard.
The corresponding sounds are triggered on your VST instrument.
3. Select Devices > 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 VST Performance window lights up or you get
crackling sounds, you have the following options:
• Activate Freeze for instruments.
This renders the instrument into an audio file and unloads it.
• Activate Suspend VST3 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.
