Current Playback Engine

[icenet]

Hi,

I usually get the message "current playback engine is 1DSP/Med Voices, would you like to use the saved playback engine" when I open someone else's PT session. I have an HD2 system. Can someone explain this to me? Does it really matter if I use the current or saved palyback engine?

Thank You.

Typically you'll want the DSP to be allocated the same way it was when the session was last saved and presumably working well. Unless you have a specific reason for altering it (say it's set to 96 tracks over 4 DSPs and yet it's 24 track session and you want more DSP for plugs) I'd leave it alone.

Thanks for the info. Now if change the session to only 1DSP(less than original) and need more, won't PT do it automatically?
