Native processing is used to describe digital audio processing done by the computer's CPU (vs DSP or outboard processing, which is done by additional 3rd party DSP chips located on extension cards or external hardware boxes or racks).

A lot of Digital Audio Workstations such as Logic Pro, Cubase, Digital Performer and Pro Tools LE use native processing.

Others, such as Pro Tools HD, Universal Audio's UAD-1 and TC Electronic's Powercore use DSP processing.
