IIM MP PO OR RT TA AN NT T:: Digidesign has a special low-latency version of the “StreamManager”
driver for ProTools. This can reduce the latency from 1024 audio samples to 256
audio samples – (from 21 milliseconds to 5 milliseconds at 48 kHz sample rate!) For
the latest and greatest info on optimizing HTDM for your system and to download
the low latency StreamManager, please visit the HTDM Q&A page on the Digidesign

Optimizing CPU Usage
PhaseMistress is a native plug-in, which means that it uses your computer’s proces-
sor to do its audio processing. Because of its advanced DSP algorithms,
PhaseMistress can put a pretty heavy load on your processor. Here are some tips to
reduce the processing:
• Use Digital mode instead of Analog: This uses about half the CPU power.
• If you’re running multiple tracks through the same effect, use PhaseMistress on
an aux track and use sends to route the audio through PhaseMistress.
• Commit your effect to disk by using AudioSuite, or, by bouncing to disk
