Default Proper order of DSP vs native plugins?

I've searched a lot but haven't seen a definitive answer to the most efficient way to mix dsp and native plugins. Does anyone have this information please?

I may not be the last word on this, but I have read that when mixing plugin types, you must use a DSP plugin first so that Delay Compensation will work correctly. After that, knowing that going from a DSP to a Native plugin will eat a voice(or is it 2?), its likely best practice to try to put all DSP in front of all Native. If anyone knows otherwise, please correct me

The architecture is DSP first and native second in the mixer is seem to remember as stated above.

I recall there are good reasons to put the plugins in that order. I'm pretty sure it is buried in some thread somewhere.

This thread got me curious. FWIW, Page 1124 of the current Pro Tools Reference Guide says:

Ordering Recommendations

When combining Native and DSP plug-ins on a track, use one of the following strategies based on your recording needs:

- To ensure that Native plug-ins stay active when you record enable a track or use TrackInput monitoring, order all DSP plug-ins before Native plug-ins.

- To conserve voices and minimize processing latency, order all Native plug-ins before DSP plug-ins.


That whole page is worth a read. I've always placed my AAX plugins before DSP, in order to minimize latency. But the other way makes sense depending what plugins you need active while recording.

Cheers,
