VST3 plugins are supposed to only take processing power when theres audio playing on the track. In S1 VST3 consumes cpu even if the track is empty. Is it possible to fully support this VST3 feature? It would take the whole cpu consumption to much lower level.
closed with the note: This has been implemented in Studio One 5.5 (Plug-in Nap)

I wasn't aware it was possible to only partially support VST3...

Is this any better on v4.5? Apparently they did a lot to improve the CPU usage of plugins with that release.
