76 Chapter 9 Tutorial 7: Mixing and Adding Effects
To add an effect:
1 Click the Track Info button (the letter i) or choose Track > Show Track Info to show the
Track Info pane.
2 If needed, click the Details triangle to show the Effects section of the Track Info pane.
3 Choose the effect you want to add from one of the pop-up menus along the left.
Instrument tracks have four effect pop-up menus, and the master track has one.
Turning Effects On and Off
You can turn individual effects on or off (turning an effect off temporarily is called
bypassing the effect). This has several advantages: you can hear how each effect
changes the sound of your music, and you can see which effects have the greatest
impact on your computer’s performance.
When you turn off an effect, the effect’s current settings are retained, so any
adjustments you have made are not lost.
To turn on an effect:
m In the Effects section of the Track Info pane, select the checkbox next to the effect.
Deselect the checkbox to turn the effect off.
Use these controls to
add and adjust effects.
