Yeah, fair enough.
It's just that it's surprising just how many people still think they can track with plugins and wonder why their effect is not being recorded.
It depends on your setup, how you route & record.
For any cpu issues or getting a performance I'll sometimes track vsti's: drum kit, synths ( orchestral through VSL's VEPro 5)
Recording a basic track in real time while printing the verb & eq is tracking.
Forgot to mention I also use convo for bouncing or tracking orchestral parts.
Lately I've been using VSL's MIR shortened impulses to behave more like er's, then an insert of either a convo tail using Pristine Space , Waves IR-1, or an algo tail using VSL's MIRacle, PhoenixVerb, or Aether.
