Open a group track and open bias fx with your adjustments there, then route the 6 tracks to that group channel and remove their plug-ins. Sure, you can open 2 or more group tracks if different setuped bias fx's are needed.

Well said! If you aren't familiar with "busing" fx. This is a great chance to work through it. Doing so will let you assign fx to a single channel and let you rotate a knob on individual channels to get some of that effect. For example, reverb is often done this way.

However, if you are using 6 different fx (one different effect on each biax fx track) then you won't gain anything by bussing it to 6 sub tracks. Same cpu load plus some.

BIAS FX is a HOG in terms of CPU and really likes to see a quad i7 if you are going to run that many instances of it. However, you can always try to increase you SAMPLES in your daw so that you allow more resources for plugins and remove resources for real time stuff, if you are done recording, this should be fine

Another work around, is to "bake" the fx on to the track. In reaper you render to a new track and just mute the track with the original fx. That way you can hear the fx on a given track. But if you want to change anything you have to render to new track again. So you can work around it, just takes some doing

The only "quick" solution for running 6 instances of bias anything is to throw more hardware at the problem (e.g. quad cpus, 16 gig of ram, ssd hard drive) You can run one or two instances just fine typically on any modern hardware. But running that many will gut a lesser system in my experience. I have a dual cpu i5 rig that has the same issue. For wads of plugins I have to move the project to a quad core rig.

You don't say what DAW you're using but most have a freeze feature that lets you eliminate the CPU load on selected tracks. It's common to need to freeze tracks when working with amp simulator plugins.
