When this is selected, no MIDI track will be created when you add a VSTi in the
VST Instruments window. This is the behavior from earlier versions of Cubase.
Always ask to
When this is selected, you will be asked whether a corresponding MIDI track is
created when you add a VSTi in the VST Instruments window.
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.
Suspend VST 3 plug-in processing when no audio signals are received
If this option 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.
Plug-in Editors “Always on Top”
If this option is activated, the control panels for effect plug-ins and VST instruments
will always be shown on top of other windows.
Video
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 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.
