Maybe the dev team can take a look at what this brings to the table and see if it can be implemented into vdj since sound and fx processing have been one of the reasons vdj users switch to other software.

My M1 pro breezes it flawlessly with vdj running stems and 4 decks. The downside will be the steep price of the plugin(you can opt for 'rent to own' using splice) and the fact that you need a capable laptop to run it. Since neutron 4 shapes the sound automatically, even the software effects of vdj sound crisp and clean. It Does trigger the VDJ limiter in default mode so you will have to provide some headroom and set your Zero DB to -9db (without loosing dynamic range). It also works with the TRACK ENHANCE feature in Mix Assistant (the alternate option to BALANCE) to identify the instruments you’re working with and implement dynamic settings.

I used the 'Acoustic Snappy Plucky Bass ' Preset and it really does a very nice job of giving the sound more punch while shaping the transients very nicely. Neutron 3 Advanced’s new Sculptor module provides a per-band army of compressors and EQs that operate as one to shape your tracks. So I have been testing a trail version of Neutron 4 for music production and decided to run the master output of VDJ through the VST and boy does it sound good.
