20 Troubleshooting

VST and DX plugins can be automated too. To pop up the effect's Automation Editor you should click the

Automation button in the bottom right corner of the main window first, and then click the right hand side of

the effect window (the area where the Bypass and OK buttons are). Right clicking this area also works, and

even right clicking the plugin's user interface will work with many plugins. The plugin user interface knob

movements will lead by approximately 0.75 seconds compared to the audible results (ie. you see the knobs

move before you hear their effect on the sound). VST plugins that don't supply their own user interface (the

ones that get the standard MultitrackStudio knobs) suffer only partially from this phenomena: knob rotations

don't lead, but the values below the knobs do lead.

A multiple output VST plugin's output mixer can be automated too.
