A stereo RTAS plug in on a stereo aux track will eat up 4 voices. Also some RTAS plug ins have sample latency up the wazoo and when exiting the TDM mixer in and out sometimes throw off delay compensation. Lastly not all report the latency correctly, so even when tracking you may hear a slight delay.
On Master Faders i notice that some RTAS processing hungry plug ins throw off the latency compensation completely as well. Especially if i insert hardware outboard before it.
Lastly 4 voices may not seem alot, but if i use 2-4 reverbs in a mix(and i tend to sometimes use more) i will end up using 16 voices. With some of the tracks i get to mix those 16 voices plus the processing is alot to lose for a reverb.
