You were definitely under the wrong impression.

Should this be applied to midi tracks as well?!? Like Trilogy or Batery?!??!
It really depends on the plugin, and how much CPU power it uses. As I mentioned, amp simulators are CPU hogs.

Some Virtual instrument plugins will tax your system, most will not. XPand, for instance, is really light on the CPU usage. You can put a ton of them in a session and still not max things out.

Most sampler plugins (like Battery) will require more memory to run depending on how heavy a sample load you put on it. It also really depends on which version of Battery you are talking about.

Trilogy can sometimes carry a heavy load, but not usually enough to bring a modern PC to it's knees. And you really wouldn't be using more than one of them in a session at a time.
