Disable Audio Processing on a Track

Post by bkshepard »

In pre 10 versions of DP, there was a little round button that allowed you to disable audio processing on a track. Has that gone away in DP 10, or am I just not seeing it? I found it extremely handy for reducing CPU load by disabling tracks that weren't currently needed, but without removing them altogether.

Go to the dropdown menu at the top right of the Tracks window and select Tracks list Column Setup - enable Enable. ;)

Thanks man! I've always had that showing before. At some point I probably enabled that and just kept updating my template file, whilst forgetting what I had done. I tend to do that a lot these days. :shock:

After installing DP10 it was disabled on my system as well. Are you on 10 yet?

Yes, up and running in 10. Since I didn't remember enabling it on previous versions, I was thinking maybe MOTU came up with some super-duper-secret method for reducing CPU load on tracks. Oh well, I have enabled enabled now. Thanks!
