hi i'm new to the forum and have recently purchased CDA5. I have a free solution to the plugins per track problem.
Go to vb-audio.com and download the free FFX-4 DX manager. This is a DX chainer/rack plugin that you load into the 1st slot in the per track CDA chainer. Then load your mastering plugins etc. into the ffx-4. It will let you chain 4 plugins one or more of these can be an instance of itself so letting you chain as many plugins as you want. All set ups are saved by CDA.
Heres the thing: if you use the bypass/mute plugins button in FFX-4 your plugins are switched off properly and frees up your CPU.
I hope this helps
