Conditions for AudioSuite Rendering with Handles, Fades, Clip Gain,
and Metadata
Most AudioSuite plug-ins provide several options for rendering clips, but only certain settings let you
apply AudioSuite handles. For example, AudioSuite Handles are not available with Entire Selection
mode (since the point of this option is to render the whole selection only). Fades and crossfades, and
clip gain settings are preserved or rendered depending on the File mode and AudioSuite Rendering
mode settings. Additionally, clip metadata can be preserved for rendered clips under certain condi-
tions. The following conditions apply.

Some plug-ins that rely on the Edit selection for processing (including plug-ins that require an analysis
pass) may not work as expected when using handles. In this case, it is recommended that the handle
length be set to zero.
Destructive recording and Destructive Punch recording are not supported with AudioSuite rendered
clips with handles.
