Help with System Usage Window!!

[Drummersound]

Hello everybody!

I'd like to know a few thinks about this window because the info in reference guide is not the best...

Can someone tell me what does it mean:

Time Slots Used
Plug-in Sharing
DSP sharing
StereoMixer24
WaveShell-DAE

So, how can I explain those thinks in a easy way to someone?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi,

I will try:

Time Slots Used

For every PlugIn you instanciate or adding outputs or make other kinds of routings within the TDM mixer you need a certain amount of TDM Time slots.
If I recall correct, the maximum amount is 512 using 44,1 kHz. It's getting less the higher the sampling frequency will get.

Plug-in Sharing

PlugIns & Mixer can share one or more DSPs.

DSP sharing

DSPs can be shared by TDM-PlugIns and the Mixer-PlugIn itself.

StereoMixer24

There are different Mixer-types available within PT. Like a stereo mixer and a surround mixer, dithered or not, 16 bit or 24 or higher. They reside in PT's PlugIns folder. Depending on the settings of a session, they might change.
The surround mixer for example is also needed if you want to change the pan law to something higher (wider) than -2.5 dB.
The "more" mixer, the more dsp usage

WaveShell-DAE

WaveShell (DAE) is a global plugin from Waves which is instanciated as soon as you use a Wave's PlugIn. The more Waves TDM - plugins you use, the bigger the waveshell-PlugIn will become and the more DSPs it will eat up.

... writing this while laying on sofa .... so it's just a quick recall what I have in mind. So please, someone else might feel free, to correct me

Thanks Hanswurstlsepp!!

I have one more questions:

When I open a blank session without tracks,
Why do I see that there is 2 voices in use on "Voices allocated"?

What consume those voices?

Thanks again!
