CPU Optimization
Unlike many single task plug-ins, Nectar harnesses the power of 10 DSP pro-
cessors in one plug-in. Nectar performs a significant number of calculations
when running.
The combination of 64-bit processing, multiple DSP processors and real time
meters dictates that it requires more CPU processing than some plug-ins.
Optimizing your CPU
If you're not using modules for processing, you should be sure to bypass them to
conserve CPU power.
Try changing the buffer size and/or latency setting in your host application.
When buffers are too high (latencies are too large), meters may update slowly
however less stress will be placed on your CPU. As buffers become very small
(latencies are very low), Nectar will consume more CPU.
You can also disable meters in their option screens. Right click on any meter to
bring up the options screen for that meter.
