Well, audio is usually unaffected, except for the Zam plugins, which often produce a glitchy noise when clicked. However, editing the other plugins is affected or even impossible, especially the LSP plugins. The extra clicks and menu diving required for other plugins, like X42 and Dragonfly, are quite a hassle and time-consuming. :-) The crashes themselves aren't exactly fun either. :-)
I can say with certainty that there are no sound problems with the X42 EQ and compressor, as I use these plugins most frequently. While I'm always eager to learn how the LSP plugins work and occasionally turn them on, apart from mono EQ 8, I'm usually overwhelmed by their sheer variety and complexity. I'm sure audio engineers would feel right at home with them, but for the average user, the learning curve is simply too steep. The LSP Monocompressor has two threshold settings, which is quite confusing, and the various multicompressors have so many settings it's dizzying. They also don't come with great user manuals or presets for different situations. Very often there are only presets for drums or bass, but none for vocals, etc. But I'm not giving up :-)
