Pro Tools CPU Problem

[Taktical]

Basically, I'm runnin out of cpu when I start to use effects in protools. Lets say I got around 16 tracks all vocals. What I've been doin is applying effects to each track individually, but I've heard there a better way(bussing or somethin). How can I apply the same reverb to multiple tracks?????? Somethin to do with the sends but I havn't figured it out yet, and I've even hit up the manual but it just confused me. Anyone got help???????

Yeah, dog just create a buss track and add the effects you want to use on it. Then set the send levels on the tracks you are using the same effects on to send the amount you want to the buss you just created. I know that may not be the most in depth instructions but once you do exactly what I just said it'll kind of come together for you and click.

Another thing you can do if you want to keep effects on individual tracks is to not use the RTAS effects.

Or when your ready to mix you can set your buffer settings to 1024

How would I go about setting up the buss tracks.....I understand the physics of what u sayin, just dont get that one part.......

create a stereo aux track. set your plugs up on the aux and route the tracks you want through the buss track. It easy once you start clicking around. Youll get it.
