First I want to express how enthusiastic I feel about this DAW. I think it is great and pretty logical so far and will continue to support it. When I am finished with a track and you would like to post it on the site, just let me know. I am happy to help! While using it, if I happen to use Speedrum (because Geon Kick bugs and Microtonic is limited sometimes but works like a boss) with a Tracktion plugin (any) my CPU load shoots to 90% until I switch out Tracktion plugs for Surge XT at which I idle at 42%. I experimented without native plugs (that were already using yabridge) and native plugs and unless I use my hardware synths and mix in another DAW, I can barely use Zrythm (or become discouraged). I am not sure if CARLA full time is a good idea since most on Linux use yabridge and I would like ot have the option to disable sandboxing just in case (which is a Waveform feature, my knowledge is clouded about Bitwig at the moment). Specs: Ubuntu Studio 23.10 (Wayland) 128 (I always try different buffer settings) 48000 MOTU 1248,16A,24Ao AMD 5900x OC and undervolted CPU Govener on performance 128GB Ram ---

You can disable sandboxing by right clicking on the plugin in the plugin browser and selecting the non-bridge option. Zrythm will remember your choice.
