[Ardour-Users] bus strain on computer resources

[Brett Clark]

FWIW, i have had a Use-Case where i needed 3 buses for a vocal track (2
single channel and 1 dual channel) to fatten the sound.  I was doing
parallel processing and split the vocal track out to 2 different single
channel buses ( 1 had heavy compression, and the other had parametric eq ).
 Both of those buses fed into a dual channel bus that had reverb.

Next challenge:  anyone have a Use-Case requiring 4 buses for a single
track?
;-)
