I have a template that I just made, set up with all kinds of plug-ins and a few VSTis. I know having them simply bypassed doesn’t save any computing muscle, but I wasn’t sure about clicking on the power button for each of them so it is grayed out …
Does that save computing power, or do I have to actually remove the plug-in from the insert/send rack, or the VSTi from the F11 rack, to lessen the load on the computer?
Would I be inferring correctly from your answer that switching it to “Bypass” would still use Plugin Delay Compensation?
Oh, and by any chance would you happen to know if having “Bypass” on is as little computer power drain as switching off the plug-in entirely? (I’m just getting greedy now!).
Switching bypass on, keeps the plugin active, so delay compensation is active, as far as processing power used, I have never really considered the consequences!
