Default RTAS Plugins reduces voices

Hi,

does anybody know why ProTools 8 HD reduces the amount of voices when you use rtas plugins? i thought this was a bug in pt 7.4?

Best regards,

Schumann

It's not a bug, it's the way TDM works. See page 874 in the PT8 manual. It doesn't use voices for RTAS plugs on audio tracks though, unless you're using TDM plugs first.

Voice is not "a track", it is an i/o point on TDM mixer. Once you get this idea, you know why using RTAS might not be the best idea after all...

Or at least why using RTAS in a TDM environment might not be a good idea. Using RTAS in a native environment is, on the right computer, is even more efficient than using TDM in a TDM environment.

Sometimes you have to use RTAS. If there are no TDM Versions.

most new cutting edge vi's will never be TDM. TDM cannot handle it. todays modern computers (native) are so much more powerful. just the way it is.
