The DAE can't remember exactly where DSP was loaded into (on which cards, and on which chips). So when you recall a session, it reloads everything in a different order than you created the session in the first place (maybe alphabetical? maybe by track number?), and attempts to fill up the DSP cards starting from card #1, chip #1. An since not all chips or cards are necessarily identical, it's possible to run out of DSP prematurely. A good example of this is when the DAE instanciates a plugin in a chip that is overkill for it (when it would work perfectly fine in a "lesser" chip). This could then prevent a more DSP-intensive plugin from ocuppying this chip, and other empty chips wouldn't work. In other words, certain plugins require certain chips. Some plugins work on every chip. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
