The mix engine, surround engine, voices, HEAT, ADC and DSP plug-ins all use the chips on the card. The mix engine and ADC don't even use 1% of the CPU in native, so you wont see any improvement there at all. You'll see the most noticeable improvement when using plug-ins. Run as many DSP plug-ins as you can in HDX first, and offload to native
only if you start running out of DSP power. If you track through plug-ins, use DSP plug-ins so you don't have to worry about buffer settings when using native plug-ins. If you start to run out of DSP for tracking, then offload some of your previously recorded finished tracks to native by using the DSP to Native button in the plug-in window. Save the DSP for tracking. Though possible, it's best to avoid mixing DSP and Native plug-ins on the same track. Keep them separate and try to use DSP only.
Hope that helps.
