[Dream] cpu usage

[Andrei Henry]

i agree with troy, but in the end the answer depends
on which VSTs you're comparing - you haven't old us if
you're talking about using two instances of the same
VSTi or different instruments.

using two simple monophonic VSTi is bound to take up
less memory than, say, an Arturia minimoog VSTi.

on the other hand, there might be a good reason to use
two instances of the same VSTi - running out of
voices, output routing, fx, etc.

in the end, why don't you try both configs and see
where your CPU meter peaks?  we're talking abstract
theory here (so abstract, in fact, that we don't even
know what we're comparing), whereas the only answer
that counts for you is real-world application on your
computer using your VSTi's.
