|
|
Acronym of Digital Signal Processing, a very general term for processing
|
|
of any digital signal by digital means. In &ARDOUR_NAME;'s context, it generally
|
|
refers to the processing peformed on audio signals by &ARDOUR_NAME; and by plugins.
|
|
It is often talked of in terms of DSP `load', referring to the amount of CPU power
|
|
that Ardour is using for its signal processing. This load increases with the
|
|
number of tracks and plugins that a session uses. A computer will have an upper
|
|
limit to the amount of DSP it can perform, depending on its CPU and RAM speed and
|
|
many other factors.
