Q:
Why does Soft SampleCell have a preference for RAM allocation when the software will only take what it needs based on the samples actually loaded?
 
A:
This setting is to prevent filling up the entire system RAM (and not leaving enough for anything other apps or even the Finder).

• Is the total amount of RAM that must be allocated to Pro Tools based on the number of plug-ins, or the DSP requirements of those plug-ins? (i.e. is there a difference in RAM needed between 20 DigiRack EQ's vs 20 Oxford EQ's?)
