The only difference between TDM and VST is that with VST you have to  
live with a certain latency of the direct signal input. This may not  
be a problem for electric guitarists, because their instrument  
doesn't make an acoustic sound and they can then easily adopt to play  
with their notes coming out a little later than they're used to.  
However, for a tuba player the VST affected sound will have to merge  
with the acoustic sound and with some plug-ins this can cause phasing  
problems, if the VST is of the "insert effect" type rather than of  
the "aux loop effect" type (reverb, delay etc).
