Maximum VST Workers

This setting controls how many should be started.

Each VST worker consumes only between 10 and 30 MB of memory when being idle, but this number can raise quickly when the VST worker loads a plugin, especially if the plugin doesn't clean up it's resources properly.

PresetMagician will shut down each VST worker after a certain number of loaded plugins to avoid that issue. However, don't set this number too high if you have a limited amount of RAM. For 8GB of RAM, you can use 8 workers.

Max VST Worker Start Time

This setting controls how long PresetMagician waits until a VST Workers has been started. If a VST worker doesn't start up within the specified time, it will be stopped.

Open VST Worker Log Directory

This opens the VST worker log directory in your Windows Explorer.
