Second question: How do I do sends in Tracktion? Sorry for the newbie questions - some cubase/live habits are hard to break
Is Tracktion Hyperthreading Enabled? And how to Send?

I'm just getting into Tracktion, after Live 4's cpu hoggage got the better of me. My question: Is Tracktion hyperthreading enabled/aware? Does it take advantage of P4 chips with hyperthreading? Live didn't, and until Live 4.04, you had to turn it off manually. If anyone knows, please advise.

Sends have been a bugbear which will likely be addressed in T2.
The short version is that you have 2 options:
1. use a rack filter. Even if it's only one effect (ie. a reverb) in the rack filter, all copies of that rack will share the reverb. You'll notice that there are dry/wet settings for the rack, so set them appropriately. There's a guide to using racks for sends somewhere, but I dunno where it is offhand!
2. use ModuLR's excellent Senderella plug-in found on THIS page. While you're at it, check out his other cool tools and listen to his tunes.
It couldn't be easier to use.
Since Tracktion doesn't follow the normal "mixer" way of thinking, these may seem like workarounds, but I suspect if Jules had intended for there to be standard sends, he would have done exactly what ModuLR did anyhow.

Greg, thanks for the tips. Checking out subminimal tools now
Any ideas on whether Tracktion is Hyperthreading enabled?

No idea, to be honest. I suspect not, but that's just a guess.

doing hyperthreading well (IE not just saying "oh, yeah, we do that" on the tin) is not all that easy with audio hosts.
For the comparitively small gains that HT gives, you'd lose most of it through the host tryingto work out the optimal load balancing.
HT works best when you have either two discrete tasks, or one long linear task that can be handled in chunks. Unfortunately the requirements placed on audio applications can't be relied on to fit either of these scenarios very well...

Ok, so if Tracktion is not hyperthreading enabled, should I assing the Affinity to only one CPU?

I found the Racks tutorial:
http://www.adbe.org/guides/tracktion/racks.html
There's also a wealth of other info if you go up a directory, http://www.adbe.org/guides/tracktion.
Still wondering if I should assign processor Affinity to one processor in Tracktion. Please advise
