Next (+) and Previous (–) Setting Buttons Lets
you select the next or previous plug-in setting
from the Plug-In Librarian menu.
Plug-Ins Settings Select Button Accesses the
Plug-In Settings dialog, which lists the presets
for the current plug-in. From this list, you can
select a new preset, or audition a series of pre-
sets.
Compare Toggles between the original saved
plug-in preset and any changes you have made
to it so you can compare them.
Other AudioSuite Controls
In addition to the standard AudioSuite controls
that are common to all AudioSuite plug-ins,
there are a number of special-purpose controls
found only on certain plug-ins:
Chan/Track Process Mode Selector
If you have made a selection that includes re-
gions from multiple tracks, the Normalize
AudioSuite plug-in (as well as some third-party
AudioSuite plug-ins) lets you choose whether
you want to perform processing on a channel-
by-channel/track-by-track, or an all-channel/all-
tracks basis using the Chan/Track Process Mode
selector.
Peak On Each Chan/Track Analyzes and pro-
cesses each selected track individually. If you ap-
ply the Normalize plug-in to multiple tracks or a
multichannel track in Peak On Each Chan/Track
mode, each channel or track will be normalized
independently, without regard to the other se-
lected tracks.
Peak On All Chans/Tracks Uses all currently se-
lected channels and tracks for analysis. If you
apply the Normalize plug-in to a multichannel
track or multiple tracks in Peak On All
Chans/Tracks mode, the tracks will be analyzed
as a single entity and regions will be normalized
relative to the averaged peak level within all se-
lected channels and tracks.
Find Level Button
For some gain processing plug-ins, the Find Level
button can be found next to the Process button
in the AudioSuite Plug-In Window footer. It can
analyze a selection without actually processing
it. For example, using the DigiRack Gain plug-
in, you can use the Find Level button to deter-
mine the maximum peak level on a track at a
specific gain value before you process the audio.
Key Input Selector
Selects a track/bus to be used to trigger process-
ing. In order to use this feature, the key input
source audio must occur at the same time as the
target audio. Side-chain input is monophonic.
See “Side-Chain Input” on page 984.
Channel Mode Button
The Channel Mode button lets you process con-
tiguous channels within a selected region as
though they were mono or stereo tracks (and in
some cases greater-than-stereo tracks), regard-
less of the type of tracks they occupy.
Mono Mode Processes each contiguous channel
within a selected region as a separate mono
track. For example, a region comprised of six
mono tracks would be processed as six mono
tracks.
You will lose the current plug-in settings if
they are not saved before you use the Next
and Previous Setting buttons. Always save
your plug-ins settings as presets using the
Plug-In Settings menu.
Side-chain inputs for plug-ins have no effect
on AudioSuite processes when the Selection
Reference is set to Region List.
