TDM
for Pro Tools|HD systems and VENUE
TDM plug-ins are uniquely powerful because they use the dedicated hardware found on the DSP cards of Pro Tools|HD® and VENUE systems rather than the limited resources of the host computer. As a result, TDM plug-ins are afforded much more processing power than what is available in any competing system. You can add TDM plug-ins up to the hardware DSP capacity of your system and get the same fast, reliable performance no matter how many tracks you have in a session. If you need more mixing horsepower, you can easily add DSP cards to your system.
RTAS
for Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE™, and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems
Real-Time AudioSuite™ (RTAS®) plug-ins are host-based, relying on the host computer’s processing power to process audio in real time. Functionally, RTAS plug-ins offer many of the same benefits of TDM plug-ins. Their parameters can change in real-time, they can be fully automated, and their effects are not permanently written to the audio file. Since they are host-based, RTAS plug-ins share computer processing resources with a number of other functions. As a result, the number and variety of RTAS plug-ins you can use is dependent on other host-dependent factors, such as track count (on Pro Tools LE systems), edit density, and the amount of automation in a session.
AudioSuite
for Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems
AudioSuite plug-ins employ file-based processing. Depending on how you configure a non-real-time AudioSuite plug-in, it will either create an entirely new audio file or alter the original source audio file with the processing included. AudioSuite plug-ins are useful for conserving DSP power. They are also suitable for certain types of processing where there is no real-time benefit or application, such as normalization or time compression.
