Advantage of More DSP's for Same Voice Count?
The Pro-Tools reference guide, offers a chart, for different HD systems Voice capabilities at different samplerates, but does not elaborate on what the advantages of using 3 DSP's for 96 voices, over 2 DSP's for 96 voices, or 1 v.s. 3 DSP's for 48 voices ect.
Can someone explain the advantages of allocating a higher number of DSP's for a voice count, when a setting is available, to have the same amount of voices, with less DSP. T.I.A |

There's no Real advantage as such, Run on the lowest! if you start to get DAE error messages then you might need to allocate more DSP for voices. Chris

Re: Advantage of More DSP's for Same Voice Count?
I seemed to remember that there was an issue with PCI bus overloads if you used more Chips but it might be the other way around. In general I have always aimed for less DSP for more voices so I have more chips for Plug-ins.

I previously had an issue with noisy plugins and fuzzy distorted noises (when doing complex mixes using lots of horsepower), which was cured by upping the DSP chip number.
