Hi Eric,

The live inputs and the currently selected audio instrument ar also handled by
the second processor. George Leger posted a sweet little tip on the LUG as to
how to get them most out of the live inputs.

Physically connect the spare outputs of your audio interface to some spare
inputs. Then create live input objects for these inputs. The live inputs of
course have inserts. So insert processor intensive plugins in them (reverbs,
etc). The plugins, being instantiated on live inserts, will now be handled by
the second processor. And they will be accessible to your audio stream by
setting the output assignment of some busses to correspond with those physically
patched outputs. Then just send to those busses from your audio tracks's sends.
It's a sweet idea to maximize performance! I wish I had a DP Mac!!!
