converter cores

Is it possible to limit the number of cores used when using converter?
I can see you can reduce the number from (max) once it has started but that is too late as it always starts on max.

CONVERSELY, during multi-format conversions, dBPoweramp automatically cascades across cores. However, when converting, say ten files from PCM 24bit to PCM16 bit, it will only use one core. I have to force multiple cores each time in options. Now, do I need to force a number of cores for that conversion in it's configuration? If so, out of curiosity, why does that job not automatically use more than one core?
