Pro Audio Support

Q:
Do HTDM plug-ins require more Mac CPU resources and RAM, or more Pro Tools CPU resources and ram allocated to Pro Tools?
 
A:
HTDM plug-ins require more Pro Tools RAM. The CPU usage setting in Pro Tools is only for RTAS plug-ins, so it doesn't affect HTDM.

• 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?)
