Trash performs a significant number of calculations when running. The combination
of 64-bit processing, multiple DSP modules, multiband processing and real
time meters dictates that it requires more CPU processing than a
typical plug-in. Although it's been highly optimized for current CPUs, here are some
tips for using it effectively even on lower speed machines.
1) If you're not using modules for processing, you can bypass them to conserve some CPU power.
2) Single band modes require significantly less CPU than multiband modes.
3) In the main Options screen, processing tracks as mono and "trimming" the box modeling can save CPU power.
4) You can disable the meters in their option screens. Right-click (under OS X you can also ctrl-click) on any meter to bring up the options screen for that meter.
Note: This help file is a quick reference for basic Trash functions and controls. We have separate "how to" guides that provide tips and techniques for getting the most out of Trash. You can download these guides from http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/trash/guides.html
