Could you explain what the advantage is of this please.
Does it mean you could drop in to your record track with no latency?
Do all the plugs on the stems etc have to be DSP?
He does kind of explain it but it's not very clear.
How is he doing that if the upstream plugins and tracks are all running Native?

Ok, I found the section you're referring to at around
42:21.
He's talking about PEC/Direct monitoring for post production dubbing workflows. That workflow generally has multiple Pro Tools source machines playing back which then get summed and printed to a Pro Tools recorder (dubber) system. Part of that workflow is punching in when making mix changes. When you do that you want to be able to monitor those hardware inputs (Pro Tools source machine outputs) in low latency just as you would when overdubbing a guitar, for example.
The other use case he mentions is offloading plugin processing to DSP to free up the CPU for other tasks.
For your last question above about upstream Native plugins, see post #45.
Hope that helps.
