Select the number of voices and DSPs to allo-
cate for voicing by selecting a value from the
Number of Voices pop-up menu as follows:
• Select higher voice numbers when your
Pro Tools|HD cards are the only PCI cards
in your computer, or when you are using
an expansion chassis to run higher track
counts.
• Select medium voice numbers when your
Pro Tools|HD cards are in an expansion
chassis, or when you are using other PCI
cards along with Pro Tools|HD cards.
• Select minimum voice numbers if you are
using high-bandwidth PCI cards (such as
video capture cards) along with your
Pro Tools|HD cards. In addition, to free up
DSP for plug-ins and processing, select the
minimum number of voices and DSPs
needed to play back the current session.

Delay Compensation Engine
(Pro Tools HD Only)
The Delay Compensation Engine lets you man-
age DSP delays in the Pro Tools mixer.
There are three settings in the Playback Engine
dialog for dedicating DSP resources for Delay
Compensation:
None
Allocates no DSP resources for Delay Com-
pensation.
Short
Allocates minimal DSP resources for Delay
Compensation for each channel. This is the
most efficient setting for Pro Tools|HD Accel
systems.
Long
Allocates maximum DSP resources for De-
lay Compensation for each channel. Long Delay
Compensation uses the SRAM contained on
DSPs needed by DSP-intensive plug-ins.
With Pro Tools HD, the Sample Rate set-
ting can affect the number of available
voices.
This setting is available only when there is
no session open. Otherwise, the current ses-
sion sample rate is displayed, but cannot be
changed.
You can change the sample rate when cre-
ating a new Pro Tools session by selecting a
different sample rate in the New Session di-
alog. (
See “Creating a New Session” on
page 83.)
