Topic: Babyface Pro FS dynamics - compressor in DSP?

Hi,

yesterday I was using BFProFS for the first time and was surprised there are no compressors.

I mean are they THAT demanding on the DSP?

My usage with 3 input eqs 2 output eqs and reverb was somewhere about 55% on the DSP meter @ 96k.

I would be happy even for a couple of compressors on some of the input channels. And would prefer using sw reverb and other non time critical fx, if that would help.

The interface sounds good as expected from FS.

Thanks.

FYI, the reverb and delay are not on the DSP but calculated by the host computer. That is possible because they don't need zero latency like the eq.
There is no DSP chip afaik, the eq are on the fpga.
Bigger interfaces with FX have DSP. Also has to do with the fact our Babyface is bus powered.
