Just wanted to share that in VEP7 opening any Sound Toys 5 plugin is causing a 0% "reverse spike" every 10-15 seconds. There is a audio dropout when these 0% spikes occur.
Using Soundtoys 5 plugins in DAW does not cause CPU spikes.
I am using Catalina 10.15.3 on a 2019 Mac Pro 28-Core, 768GB and Digital Performer all on one machine.
