DSP Resource Usage

There are two main factors which determine the total number of effects available for use
at any given time: Tank Memory and DSP Instructions. Using too much of either
resource will cause effects to be unavailable (grayed out) in the FX menu. In addition,
the strips themselves use DSP Instructions, so only create strips that you actually need.
Tank memory is the memory used by delay-based effects such as reverb and digital
delays. All the reverbs and delays aside from the Mono Delay 100 and Stereo Delay 100
use varying amounts of tank memory.
The DSP instructions are used by all the effects. Effects with multiple stages, such as
multi-band EQs or the speaker simulator use more DSP instructions than a 1-Band EQ.
Tank memory tends to get used first, and so we've provided many delay line effects to
allow maximum conservation of this precious resource. Use only the longest delay you
actually need.
The chart below shows three possible effects combinations. These were created by using
up the reverb resources first. Even more simultaneous effects are possible if fewer reverbs
and shorter delays are used.

Tip: Saving a session
f
"defragments" the effect/
DSP resources. If you
have used all your effects
and need another, try
saving the session.
