Apropos wasting resources. A lot of Linux audio applications don't have
EQs by default for the channels of a mixer, we need to add 20 LADSPA EQs
to 20 channels. There might be OS X and Windows applications that come
with an EQ by default for every added channel. Do you think each time
you add a new channel, they also add a copy of the same EQ routine to
the RAM or do you think one routine for the EQ is shared by all
channels, one after the other, but anyhow with different EQ setting?
The code will be shared, and for a typical channel strip EQ
it's peanuts anyway. Then there's per-instance data which
again for an normal EQ isn't anything to worry about.
It's the GUI that takes up most of the resources. Most
of the GUI code will be shared with other parts, but the
data won't.
Ciao,
Okay, this sounds plausible. I only wanted to point out, as I've written
in another mail, while you replied, that not everybody, but some people
have troubles because of resources, only when using Linux. There might
be different reasons for this, but it's a fact that this is a problem
and I guess this is something that could be fixed.
