Ok. Now that the truth has been leaked out, there's no reason to keep in the darkness all those details which pro's have been using forever. I won't cover those all, but here're a few:no, but i record in 4 time slomotion and lower pitch with all traks 4 octave. then when i render trak out, i resample up to make it higher frequency resolution. so it can take more than 30 minutes sometime to render. all pros record like this. i guess this vsti is not made for pros.

1- First you'll need to tweak every single stage of every envelope generator by a factor of 4. So when you play the rendered track 4x the times will be as in the original. You can keep the levels original.
2- Now lower all LFO's frequencies by 4x. You might be fooled to think that you can sync-to-host-tempo and that's it, but no way. It has to be manually done. Other time-related parameters as LFO delay, fade, etc. need to be tweaked as well.
3- If you use a multisample, then you'll need to remap the whole thing. When you play it four octaves down, you aren't triggering same samples. Remapping every key and velocity region can sound like tedious, but no pain, no gain. If you really want to be a pro, you need it.
4- Adjust every reverb instance to 4 times the original length and predelay. You have to do what you have to do.
5- Adjust all compressiors to 4 times the attack and release time. Demodulator constant won't be identical, but pro's don't care.
6- Every single EQ band needs to be tweaked to make the frequency 4 octaves lower. Don't forget to adjust the Q to compensate... somehow.
7- As correctly stated previously, this might take 4 times longer to render. PLEASE don't be tempted to use one of those nasty hosts which have faster-than-realtime render options. All pro's know that there's no better sound that the one which takes long to render. If possible, bug your favorite host manufacturer for 16x-slower-than-realtime render options. I heard pro's have special versions with this option enabled, while consumers get the fenced version which only renders realtime or faster.
8- The trick works also for acoustic instruments: pro's will ask the soprano players to play bari, violin players to use cellos, flutes are replaced by 3" bath pipes. Pros will also replace all female singers with their male equivalents, and male singers with some creatures like Jabba. I don't know where they get those though.
9- If your song is longer than 7.5 minutes, it will take longer than 30 minutes to render. Therefore, don't use Massive demo. It's a well-known fact that pro's don't use Massive demo in tracks longer than 7.5 minutes.
10- Don't get fooled by thoswe who say that the procedure above is to invoke devil or suchlike. This will give you a killer sound which noone will ever forget.
