Chrome Tone
User’s Manual
DSP Delay
The delay incurred by any of the Chrome Tone plug-In configurations is ZERO samples. On HD systems the delay
is 1 (ONE) sample. There is still a two sample delay from the TDM connection to the Chrome Tone plug-In. This is
the absolute minimum number of delay samples a TDM plug-In can have. The McDSP plug-ins are designed in this
manner to provide the user with the closest analog mixing console experience possible (analog inserts such as EQ and
compression do not cause a processing delay when inserted into a track).
DSP Usage
HD, and HD Accel DSP hardware
The TDM versions of the Chrome Tone plug-in configurations use a varying amount of dsp resources for each Chrome
Tone configuration. The table below is a listing of these dsp usages. The DSP Allocator utility provided by Digidesign ™
(or the DSP Usage display in Pro Tools™ for PT version 6.2.3 and later) may be used to display dsp resource allocation
when Pro Tools™ is running.
