Suspend VST3 plug-in processing when no audio signals are received
When this is activated, VST plug-ins will not consume any CPU power during
“silent” passages, i.
e. when no audio is passing through them. This can
improve system performance noticeably.
NOTE
Note however that this might lead to situations where you loaded more
plug-ins in Stop mode than the system will be able to play back
simultaneously. As a safety measure, try playing back the part of your project
which contains the largest number of audio events to make sure that your
computer system can handle the current number of VST plug-ins.
Synchronize Plug-in Program Selection to Track Selection
If you route multiple MIDI tracks to multi-timbral instruments and activate this
option, track selection and plug-in program selection are synchronized.
Plug-in Editors “Always on Top”
When this is activated, the control panels for effect plug-ins and VST
instruments will always be shown on top of other windows.

Extract Audio on Import Video File
If this option is activated and you import a video file, the audio data of the video
is automatically extracted and saved as a separate audio clip.
Thumbnail Memory Cache Size
The value entered here determines how much memory is available for
displaying thumbnails. The currently shown image of a video is buffered in the
thumbnail memory cache. Whenever you move to another image and there is
no memory capacity left, the “oldest” picture in the cache is replaced by the
current one. If you have long video clips and/or work with a large zoom factor,
you may have to raise this value.
