8.4 PLUG-INS
AmpliTube and EZ Drummer are available both as standalone applications and as plug-ins on your
OPC. Each time you create a new guitar track using AmpliTube as a plug-in, you are creating another
instance of that plug-in. Even the best plug-ins can become resource hogs as your track counts grow,
and increasing latency only goes so far once your session gets really bloated. As you make changes
to a preset it is always a good idea to save them so your OPC has one less task to manage.
8.5 TRACK BOUNCES
Another great workaround when you're running out of resources is to "bounce" the output of a
resource heavy track to second track and then take the initial track offline. You can always bring the
first track back online if you need to make any changes. This is especially useful in case you need to
add overdubs close to the mixing phase and you've got a lot of tracks. If you're really running out of
resources but need to squeeze in a few more overdubs, bounce your entire session down to two
tracks, and then take all the others offline. When you’re done with your overdubs, bring the latency
back up and bring the other tracks back online to mix.
