Nectar 4 Breath Control VST - very CPU intensive?

DWNATIVE

Since about 5 months ago I was trying to find out why this problem was occuring. This is the ticket verbiage (I can't fuind the ticket # to reference):
— "VST's EATING UP CPU @ 200 % - What are the BEST ways to use them EFFICIENTLY?"
Great suggestions were made but sample rates, latency, ASIO, Windows issues, and all the other good ideas were not the problem.

Finally today I found that the Nectar 4 Breath Control VST (stand alone, not part of the main VST) was sucking up 603ms and causing my issues and playback delays.

Is this normal for this stand alone VST? or is something else wrong?
I thought it was pretty cool concept and a helpful product, but I can't use it if this is the case.

Thank you

It depends on how you use it and where you use it.

It is a vocal plugin so, obviously, you should use it only on vocal channels.

Even on the case that you have many channels, you do not need Nectar on every vocal track. You can route all the outputs to ONE master vocal track, and open just 1 instance of the plugin.

To tell you more, we need more details,

Is your computer good enough to handle just demanding applications? iZotope is very known for high CPU issues because the nature of the work that those plugins do, is extremely demanding.
