Stereo Mixer eating all my DSP power.
All my 4 DSP chips are been eaten alive by the "Stereo Mixer 16". I thought that the mixer is only ment to take up one DSP chip if anything at all.
I am running a session with 32 tracks (no plugins) and this is when the activity monitor shows: 0) d24 engine 100% 1) StereoMixer16 95% 2) StereoMiser16 100% 3) StereoMixer16 84% 4) StereoMixer16 29% I have the following setup: Pro Tools 24 (d24 + Farm) 882 Interface Mac G3 (B&W) PT 5.1.3 Any suggestion? Thanks Julian |

Re: Stereo Mixer eating all my DSP power.
how many sends, inserts, busses, etc. do you have set up? How many aux inputs? How many audio tracks? This is all important to figure out if there is a problem.

Re: Stereo Mixer eating all my DSP power.
Julian, I had the same problem with my older G3 233 with 160 M RAM. 32 tracks but hardly could make 32 direct outs with 2 adat bridges and very few plugins.
With my new G4 800, 260 M RAM, have been able to open lots of RTAS plug-ins. A good advice for me and you... take an extra MIX card. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Stereo Mixer eating all my DSP power.
are they stereo tracks (32 stereo = 64 voices)? if not you should check Setups>Playback Engine and eventually go for the smaller engine.
