Yes, exactly those plugins don’t run outside the DSP. Also, neutron or whatever random third-party plugins don’t run on DSP as well I know.
The purpose of this topic is to confirm if I can free up ASIO meter when I used those plugins that UA, Apogee or Antelope make. Most importantly this older thread (ASIO Meter (CPU)) brought me here
According to that topic (I also noticed lately) ASIO meter is not really showing your CPU or RAM processing information. When CPU performance is not really related to ASIO meter then how do you know that upgrading your CPU or RAM can secure more work space and processing power? And here comes my biggest question “What’s the best way to secure/enhance more ASIO availability?” and this question led me to search for DSP audio interfaces.
Also, since there is a confusing info on the internet that I can never confirm by myself and no one has ever clearly answered to.
Antelope once said in their official youtube video that using (their product like zen go) external DSP still consumes RAM on your machine. (Does that mean Antelope plugins with DSP still occupy ASIO availability…? Then can I really expect Cubase performance improvement with DSP? )
What I really want to know is that if the same situation written above apply to all those DSP based plugins made by other companies. Will any of them actually improve my performance in terms of ASIO meter?
