Hi,

I’m a die hard user of Auto Align and Drum Leveler and am very interested in Pi. The concern is that my system is not top of the line. I understand that Pi requires realtime processing, but I usually render my memory-intensive fx busses. I would imagine Pi is probably not a good option for me until I can upgrade my system a bit. Can you confirm this for me?

Hi @nooneimportant3121,  
I guess most Sound Radix plug-ins are the “lowest CPU” plug-ins.  
(they’re well CPU optimized but without compromising sonic quality).

Pi also won’t work on busses. It would result feedback for analysis causing Pi to show `SYNC ERROR`.  
Pi should be added on every audio track directly. preferably post-fader and as a last insert.

You can download the 14-days and try it for yourself. It’s always worth testing it before buying it 🙂
